Yo #Grammys  why is Beiber performing in his boxers and socks no shirt? He’s got a mirror to see himself though I guess? Kinda fancy sparkly boxers though I guess. Great beat though to another love song. At least we saw Bad Bunny 😍 I tuned in a bit late.

#Grammys  including Latino music and presenters has been amazing. Bad Bunny started his acceptance speech with “ICE out” and I can’t wait for Super Bowl performance

Keep up the pressure!!! Just because a thing was labeled “sold to ICE” someone may change their mind (I’m looking at you #SurpriseArizona)

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Explaining to a country-boy that taking testosterone as a man is gender affirming care. It absolutely made my day. People don’t realize that a majority of gender affirming care is for cis folks. This is why I will have kind conversations with people who are open to listen.
Text conversation where the man says “yeah we don’t have that kind of thing here” and opinionated hijabi says “testosterone is gender affirming care” man replies “shut the F up! No!” Opinionated hijabi explains so is women taking estrogen” the man replied “that’s not true and that’s a very broad definition of gender affirming care” finally opinionated hijabi assures the man “no it’s the medical definition. The actual definition”Man said “since I brought up my T I’ve been less bitchy” and opinionated Hijabi says “gender affirming care helps with anxiety and depression too. That’s wonderful and I’m glad you talked to your doctors about your health.” Man replied “damn you may have a point. I don’t agree with you but I can’t say you’re wrong.”

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. 

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. 

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. 

Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. 

...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

My statement on the Trump administration's illegal military actions and the wars that must end.
Donald Trump ran for President promising to end wars, not start new ones. Today’s unconstitutional military action represents a new, dark chapter in his endless series of betrayals that now threaten to plunge the world deeper into chaos. In a city as global as ours, the impacts of war are felt deeply here at home. I am thinking of the New Yorkers with loved ones in harm’s way. 

While Donald Trump bears immediate responsibility for this illegal escalation, these actions are the result of a political establishment that would rather spend trillions of dollars on weapons than lift millions out of poverty, launch endless wars while silencing calls for peace, and fearmonger about outsiders while billionaires hollow out our democracy from within. 

For Americans middle aged and younger, this is all we have known. We cannot accept it any longer.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.
