Mama bears are mad! We will not stand for our communities, neighbors, friends, families, & CHILDREN being terrorized, imprisoned, & worse. Melt ICE now. Call your senators, demand they vote to defund DHS, & impeach those responsible for these atrocities. 5Calls.org is a great way to get started!

Resharing this since it didn’t seem to get a lot of visibility yesterday. Call your senators. Boycott those supporting ICE. Support your community. Make donations to support immigrants. Share this. #iceout

The world feels dark. But, the sunrise is still beautiful. And the birds still sing. Nature still holds us.

Today we have had rain, sleet, snow, and now sun. Welcome to New England! 🤣

Maybe it was the kids’ break throwing off our schedules, or the full moon, or the state of the world. But, I did not appreciate the insomnia the night before everyone had to be up early for school again. 😵‍💫 Happy new year! 🤪🤣 #parenting
