If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain. Emily Dickinson

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Yhank you always. 💛 To be honest, Human Acts was hard for me to read, and it took me a long time. But I truly think it’s worth it.
And yes to A Taxi Driver! I can’t recommend it enough. I watched it in tears. Thank you so much for sharing the link, too so that many people can watch it🙏

I can’t get past the number of gloves they found that were searchers’ gloves that had been discarded. Who throws away crap in an area of interest!?

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title…

“How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work”

Way to devalue my experience.
Wendy Bohon has built a TikTok following as an earthquake geologist. She helps lead earthquake work for the California Geological Survey.

A gentleman walking past us stopped and said, “You have a beautiful dog.” About 10 minutes later, a shy little girl in a ballet costume, maybe 3 years old, approached us with her mom and gently patted Mercie’s head. Mercie is beginning to think this Single Hill thing is OK. #rescuedog

I learned something new about dementia today. I belong to a support group and I asked this question. I was shocked to learn this is normal and is called Showtime. It’s fine with me that he has a good visit with family and friends.
This is why family have a hard time believing me about his dementia

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.
