In 2016, Ken Paxton had the audacity to sit at my table and break bread with my family knowing full well that my son is trans, then SIX YEARS LATER wrote an opinion stating that families like mine shouldn't exist. Within days, a CPS investigator was in our home threatening to remove our children.🧵

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

I always enjoy getting an X when I am bowling. However, the most important thing is to keep your balls out of the gutter.

We put out birdseed that had sunflower seeds in it and a bird planted one of the seeds. This beauty is coming up in the middle of my yellow Canna Lilies.

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions.

0 were on the gang member list.
130 had no criminal history.
32 had minor offenses.

All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

This is our cat, Mister B.
He doesn't like to have his picture taken, but I did catch him one time when he was acting wacky, and I have used this pic as a meme ever since.

It's actually Week V, and V is the Roman numeral for 5, so it is pics with 5.

I was 18 years old when I was in San Francisco during the #WhiteNightRiot. The people were pissed! Sixteen police cars were captured and torched, and hundreds of windows in surrounding governmental and financial buildings were broken. Fires were set in garbage cans along Market Street.
