I was there. Now I’m here.
Watching D bark at the musical Christmas carousel, I’m reminded of my mom’s dog Muffin, who used to sit in my grandma’s hallway and growl at a velvet painting of Jesus.

The TikTok home page makes me feel like I did in that recess.

Your right to document is a crucial safeguard for your community, and no federal agency can take that away. Keep filming, keep documenting, and keep protecting one another. The Constitution is firmly on your side.
