I've remembered a chat with my mom maybe 15 years ago, when we had little kids around. I saw a Bambi DVD at her house, and remembered Mom talking to me about Faline's death, before we saw the movie. I asked her why she had done that. It was because experts had advised parents to prepare their kids.

I spent two days driving halfway across the USA. I did not see a single Trump sign, bumpersticker, flag, tshirt, hat...even in places where I've seen them in the past. Nothing in the town where I spent the night. (I was mostly on an interstate; on Sunday, Notre Dame merch dominated the rest areas.)

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

This is a great idea! do you add any extra fluid, or just scoop the garlic into the freezer container? Not only does this seem like a money-saver, it's also frustrating/annoying when the fresh garlic has partly gone bad.

I spent a few years doing alumni volunteer work at my school. It was my observation/opinion that, as students are transient, the institution maintains the university culture. My hypothesis: frats -- run by national institutions -- have similar backbones that serve to maintain their toxic cultures.
