5 years ago I read this guide, found nationalcasagal.org and became a volunteer child advocate, which led to fostering, which led to adoption. My daughter is the most unexpected, most wonderful gift.
Read this list, it just may change your life.
Excessive force. PERIOD!
They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

#ICE let a toddler sit in a hot car for almost an hour while detaining his father. The mother was devastated and the child was traumatized. We must not let these #kidnappings stand! #luce #nokings #fascism

Gotta make a plug for rescuing cats. Adopted this handsome fella in April and he has brought my daughter and I so much joy and laughter (and scratches).

You can push back against ICE’s terror. Talk to local businesses about putting up signs that protect workers and show support for immigrant neighbors: act.indivisible.org/...

I was a foster parent (now adoptive) and have been assuming that ICE is putting kids into foster care- into an already broken, overwhelmed system. It’s heartbreaking and rage-inducing. Trauma upon trauma.
It was so satisfying to write in why I cancelled Paramount+. And then to set up monthly donations to PBS and NPR.
I remain convinced that becoming a coward when faced with an authoritarian threat is not good for business.
Thank you for standing up for these kids. This administration’s cruelty is endless.

Oh I love this movie.
BREAKING: A striking new mural in Roubaix France shows the Statue of Liberty covering her face in shame. It was unveiled just one day before America’s Independence Day. Titled “The Statue of Liberty’s Silent Protest,” the piece was painted in by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw on a building.
Just preordered I Want to Burn This Place Down. Read the description and you will, too.
As I pick my daughter up from camp at the William and Charlotte Bloomberg Jewish Community Center and bring her to the Charlotte and William Bloomberg Public Library in a small city in MA, I’m struck by my old NYC major @michaelrbloomberg.bsky.social ’s generosity to the place where he grew up.
Well...
In Worcester, Massachusetts, the Trump regime's ICE troops violently attacked a mother and her two children – including a newborn baby.
Brave neighbours attempted to intervene to protect the family from being kidnapped by the regime troops and collaborator police forces. #3E #endimpunity
Despicable.
“To move forward with focus, we must first understand this simple fact: we are up against an ideology that has given up not only on the premise and promise of liberal democracy but on the livability of our shared world – on its beauty, on its people, on our children, on other species.“
My 8 year old is on her second Guardian bike and loves it!
I can’t stop thinking about the 3rd grader. 11 days is a really long time to be terrified.
I wonder if it was a Eureka moment where the big orange guy really thought he was on to something.
Yes! Get those spineless republicans to act on behalf of their constituents instead of cowering to Trump—this weekend.
Thank you!!! Your stamina, determination and passion were a sight to behold. Also entertaining and insightful!
Young girl at laptop watching Senator Cory Booker and typing into the YouTube chat.
My daughter was so excited to congratulate Senator Cory Booker in the YT chat when he broke the record.
I am so here for this. Senator Booker is giving me hope!
