Whether Blake Lively is a good or likeable person is not on trial. Whether women should be allowed to report sexual harassment in their workplaces without facing retaliation is what’s on trial

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Catherine O'Hara spent decades best known to comedy fanatics, Canadians and "Home Alone" fans who couldn't remember her actual name, but she spent the past decade utterly worshipped in the collective and mainstream consciousness as she deserved to be. She was fully appreciated. And that's good. #RIP

my son is five, same age as Liam Ramos. you don't need to have a child the same age to be fucking horrified by the violence we are doing (and HAVE BEEN doing) upon immigrant children in this nation. but that he keeps asking for his spidey backpack is the kind of detail that rips my heart in two.
