This Is Good, But ICE Will Ignore It….

HUGE VICTORY: A judge just ruled EVERYONE picked up by ICE is entitled to a bond hearing in front of a judge – no more disappearing people into indefinite detention, for no reason. 👏 GOOD.

Most of us have way too much stuff. Please consider unloading things NOW to groups in your community. Many families are struggling to come up with Christmas gifts this year. In our community, moms are giving away unused items and toys that other moms can give their kids as gifts. Everyone wins. ❤️

This buck swam 5 miles in the ocean, from Martha's Vineyard to Falmouth Heights

It was escorted by a Coast Guard ship for most of the way.
