Today is a day for the Dad's; The fathers of lasses and lads. We pack cars and mow grass And drop kids off at class We're much more than just passing fads #LimerickSunday #FathersDay

We are driving 12 hours away with all three children to rehome our dog. This opportunity to pack the car will be the stuff of legends. Fathers for generations will speak of me in awestruck whispers.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

When you are more afraid that your child will encounter an idea you disagree with than an armed gunman... You don't love your children, you love the opportunity to propagate your own ideology which your children represent.

A fly that has been pestering me all day finally found its way to the window sill where my new spider friend has made her home. I helped corral the little bastard to Gwen's (too on the nose??) corner and it finally got itself caught.

In case you were wondering, we should move to a 4-day work week, nationwide across all industries. We should then also trade the two months of summer schools currently use for a two week break, similar to what schools do in winter. Ask me why ...

THIS IS SO HELPFUL!

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

I need a timeline cleanse.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

Amid all the talk about whether Bluskee is dying, why we might want to stay on Twitter, etc. here's what I want to say: The fact that BlueSky, from what I can tell, doesn't have a computer trying to decide what I want to see based on emotional manipulation and stolen webcomics... That's clutch. 1/2

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Every cord of muscle tensed in her back, her arms, her neck, her chest. She resembled a pocket watch with innards of coiled spring, a tight wind filled with violent potential. She released it all, becoming a cyclone of blades, a death wind blowing through the would-be assassins. #2WordPrompt
