Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

That is a bummer. Ours is open to anyone with a credit card.
If there is a college near you, especially a large one, you can often kill time in a student center and nobody will bother you. Especially if it has a dining hall, kids seem to think that is the coolest thing ever.
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
Yeah so I did not realize Poison was from 1990, so assumed it wasn’t mandatory, but apparently it was 1990 so yeah my bad
Or maybe I lied, idk idk
They did a segment earlier about 90s throwback being a big thing this year, but no, it’s not mandatory, Johnny was speaking loosely.
This is great. Too bad it doesn't show African descent populations in Mexico, though, particularly in Veracruz and Costa Chica.
ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.”
And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of my PhD supervisor at Cambridge Professor David Abulafia. A very talented historian as well as a great supervisor and mentor who gave me sound career advice when I needed it. May his memory be a blessing. www.cai.cam.ac.uk/news/david-a...
I think at this point it's reasonable to call them death squads and Democrats should have to explain why they're voting to fund the death squads.

These monsters are sick.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Climate change deniers: Global warming is good because cold kills more people than heat!
Also climate change deniers: It is colder than it has ever been! There is no global warming. These things are unrelated.
Chris, this is a time for moral clarity. That is all that matters. I’m sorry.
They absolutely voted for this. A curse on them and their lineage.

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.
The only words I have are not the kind you can say on here.
