I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

As a person with anxiety, one of the things I do is prepare myself in case the worst case scenario happens in a tangible way. Which is why I find it very hard to forgive when elected officials have 0 plans if the worst case scenario happens.

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

2 OF 3: I explained to her that stories, just like life, will have sad and hard times. It's important to push through to the other side to see how we change & grow for the better. The only way to get to your happy ending is to go through the tough stuff first.

1 OF 3: My 8 year old daughter has started reading many chapter books and then stops before the end. I am someone that generally finishes a book (unless it's really just awful) so I asked her why. She said "it got sad & I didn't want to read it anymore."
