Go to your local Facebook group and write “looking for a good tamales” and somebody will message you probably.

Also, you could stand outside a bar smoking, and a magical tamale vendor will appear.

My friend, their mom, said to me as we parted that we all are traumatized. Vicarious trauma is real.

Please help! We already have more people needing rent money than we have money and tomorrow is the last day of the month!

We have babies to clothe and children to feed.

Hoping I can save enough for an international trip to see them.

No. I’m high up in the DFL and work my ass of every day. I also do a lot of federal advocating and lots if social justice organizing. But as a parent, it’s hard not to feel like I could’ve fought harder and maybe saved my children from something.

Unfortunately, telling a child in America they will always be safe with you may be a straight up lie. Remember, we were told ICE would be focused on the worst, most dangerous criminals. Do you see one in video below? Nobody’s risk free. Even a few feet from your front door.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

A parent feeling like they failed to make a better world for their child is not the same as feeling like I needed to physically remove ice from the state….
