Want to know what’s terrifying? Sitting in your office, hearing the unmistakable sound of a cat jumping down off your living room couch and landing with a thump on the hardwood floor. Only to turn and see your cat, the one and only cat allowed in the house, sleeping soundly in a chair beside you.

Me, to my talented kid: You ever thought of pursuing art as a career? Her: No. Absolutely not. I do this to relax. I don’t want it to become some stressful job I eventually hate. Me: How are you, at 13, smarter than my generation? Her: Memes. We have better memes.

This will sadly keep playing out across the country. USA TODAY has confirmed ICE has also detained: - A woman in her 50s who has lived in the country more than 30 years and is married to a U.S. citizen. - A woman engaged to a U.S. legal permanent resident, with whom she has lived for nine years.
