I’ve been watching We Were The Lucky Ones on Hulu. Makes me wonder how we never learn that cruelty is the point by some countries’ leaders.

upnorthlive.com/news/local/s... Curiously, Whidbey Island also has areas that are very prone to quicksand action. I found out on one of my first forays during low tide. Two steps and I was up to my thighs! Frightening lesson to learn.

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
