I would like us to take a moment to remeber that another human was killed by ICE in Chicago. The outrage and protest were minimal.

I think the ONLY reason the statistics didn't show more of us voting for 47 is becuase a lot of the men have "political ideas" but don't actually vote.
There are no lies here.

A couple of weeks ago, I commented how, I came to regret all the judgement and advice I gave to folks who had kids before I had my own. Even if you're right... just be mindful.
"Just talk to them" is always easier said than done. 😅
