As ICE arrests increase and the number of people in detention has hit a record high again of over 70,000, immigrant communities can’t wait another second. Constituents can’t wait until Congress is back in session. Urge your representatives to stop this escalation at aclu.org/stop-ice_killings

How to keep squirrels from eating your pumpkins? 1. Use a hot pepper spray. Some squirrels seem to like spicy food, so this does not work on them. 2. Use a barrier, such as a row cover or sheet. Cover each night, weigh the ends down, so it doesn’t blow away. #farmlife #familyfarm #delaware
