Thank you for sharing your thoughtfulness. This is not an either/or situation where we have to either support Israel or Gaza. Our hearts are big enough to grieve multiple tragedies at once and we can call for peace and healing for all w/out being ‘anti’ either side.

Yep! We’ve been here before. And earlier this week he claimed to have invented the word ‘equalize’ too!

That’s the thing- it’s not supposed to be jail. Jail implies that that have had due process and sentencing and the possibility or release.

It’s all so inhumane and so terrible.😣

I’m not certain that this is accurate, but I did read that the child was deported with the mom and older sibling so they weren’t alone, which is small comfort. Regardless, it looks like due process was neglected and the poor dad wasn’t given an opportunity to testify, make requests or say goodbye.

Ah, that makes sense. They really should have a separate way of letting drivers indicate if they want to be matched again or not.

Exactly! There won’t be elections, at least not legitimate ones, if this continues.

I’ve apparently got a bad rating too and I know I’ve not done anything rude or inappropriate and I tip well. But—I almost always have my kids with me. I checked with other moms too and they noticed the same trend. So, I wonder if there are other unspoken no-no’s that we are don’t know about too?

Thank you! I think if this young woman often and can’t imagine how scary all this must be for her and others that were abducted. I’m glad you’re going to bat for her.

We were all spread out lining the blocks so it’s hard to appreciate how many were out there, but we showed up!!!

Thank you, Senator! For standing up for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and for our constitution!

I often notice the same phenomenon and I’ve realized that instead of having a resting b*tch face, I have a resting friendly face. It’s odd bc it’s not always congruent with my mood! Sometimes I’m a misunderstood grumpy cat!🤣

Thank you for the kind feedback. So glad it recalls things from your childhood! I definitely enjoy making things that have a classic feel with a contemporary twist.
