Enjoying simple domesticity today. Spent the bulk of the day with my husband. Running errands, walking the dog, doing chores, and cooking together. Tonight we're having chicken soup and dumplings from scratch.
It's important to take joy and satisfaction in the things you *can* control going well.

This is Gaza, now, I just watched an elderly man die, collapse, in a food queue, just as he was about to be served.
People are, literally, dropping dead of starvation. The world must not stand idly by. Gaza has not known what you call “freedom” in, close to 80 years.

Every time a child is killed, a piece of our collective humanity disappears. How much do we have left now?
It’s late at night here, and dark. I’m worried about the emptiness inside our leaders, and inside their followers.

Immigrants make America better. Period. It's not up for debate.
If I'm a Democratic politician, I'm out making this case every day, convincing voters. If it turns out that no matter what I say, my constituents still hate immigrants, I wouldn't pander. I'd lose the next election and move.

Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from people here legally who have had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 years.
