Open letter to our Senators:

Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.

We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

I think it's great how you can make friends with a friend of a friend and that friendship outlasts your original friendship. πŸ’•

These 2 words explain Trump's hold over the media. And they're obscene | Opinion Donald Trump has the media using two words to explain away the world he's creating. They're both misleading and incorrect and we must stop using them.

ICYMI: I wrote about getting away from it all, and realizing things are worse than I thought. Have a look:

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Damn. I just met someone who is even worse at flirting than I am.

I am no longer accepting the bare minimum: Not dates, not friendships, not restaurants, nothing.

The thing with strays is, you gotta be real patient. Keep coaxing them out and giving them praise. Let them know you're friend, not foe.

This post is not about cats.

I'm at a Halloween party and suddenly the band starts to play Sweet Caroline. I look around and see it's only white people left at the party. And me. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ πŸ˜‚

The great thing about not judging other people is that you learn to not judge yourself, too.

I have truly been spoiled by the men in my life. If you want to date me but you can't even treat me to the standard that my male friends do, I don't even want to remember your name.

This laundromat is playing deep cuts of '80s R&B and I'm just jamming in the corner while the spin cycle finishes.

Looking forward to my therapy session this week. Can't wait to tell my therapist about all the shenanigans I've been up to since the last time I talked to her.

I gotta remember not to jump in full force with these introverts. I forget I might scare them away. Oops.

So the feds have now directed states NOT to send out November SNAP benefits.

A whole bunch of people are going to go hungry this Thanksgiving.

FUCK THAT HEARTLESS DUDE!

All he does is hurt people.

If you haven’t donated to a food bank recently, now is a good time to start.

There is something poignant about crying alone in a Waymo with no driver there to feel uncomfortable and bother you. Just cold air conditioning and ambient music until you're delivered home.

I don't know which one of these young people at the campus coffee shop chose the '70s playlist today, but I am really loving it. So many songs I haven't heard for years! Coffee and nostalgia? Yes, please!

Not sure, as I never owned an iPhone (although I don't think anybody would call me "normal" πŸ˜‚). It's just what the coffee shop was playing.

How is it I'm sitting in a warm coffee shop on a cold day, listening to U2 and doing homework? What year is this even? Deja vu for realz.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Normally, I wouldn't care. But words have power and names carry meaning. It feels very ominous.

I like her 3rd and 4th Spanish albums (Pies Descalzos and DΓ³nde EstΓ‘n los Ladrones). Although I was obsessed with the Waka Waka song for like a year.
