We guess that Monday miracle for #NEH employees won't be happening after all. Tomorrow over 100 staff and public servants of the #humanities will be terminated from their positions. It's heartbreaking and so completely unnecessary.

After I watched those people storm the capitol on January 6, I vowed to never again be shocked on behalf of this country. It’s a struggle to hold that line as I watch L.A.

This perfectly summarizes my relationship with my child.

ICE abducted and imprisoned a family including two children and a mother with a high-risk pregnancy in a basement overnight with no beds and limited access to food and water. But ICE wants to you know that its stormtroopers are ‘real people’ with families. K. www.cbsnews.com/news/immigra...
