Sometimes an old notebook can hold a treasure.
A bit late for #ThingThursday, but here's a snapshot I found among my Great-Grandma's souvenirs--of HER Great-Grandma, ca. 1926 (when she'd've been right around 80). 70 yrs later, my g-gma shared a story about her, that I had the presence of mind to jot-down (which I just rediscovered) #SaveYourLore

SHE apologizes. With tears in her eyes. Rep Stansbury wasn’t even there but still feels responsible❤️.

These hiding men are wicked & despicable & cowards & I pray that justice is done for the victims/survivors. They need to be held accountable. It’s essential.

NO! Dilley needs to close right now! All these children should be reunited with their parents immediately. My heart is breaking that this is what our country is doing. There’s so so much evil right now.

My new grandson is 2 months old today. I cannot imagine.

Call your reps. Everyday.
During a congressional visit, Congressman Joaquin Castro discovered that babies as young as two months old are being held at the Dilley, Texas Family Concentration Camp. (February 10, 2026)

The King of England is talking criminal charges for his own brother for his association with that rapist -- but here in the States we seem to be downright protective of the men who frequented and befriended Epstein. Why? Why are we so complacent about this? Where are the investigations, the firings?
