YOU didn’t fail your parents.
Your parents held rigid expectations and never adjusted them even when it was clear they didn’t fit you.
Children grow in all directions. It’s not your fault if your parents weren’t prepared to grow with you.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

Washington, you know what to do. Light up those phones
Murray is the chief Democratic appropriator. She negotiated the DHS funding deal. She needs to present a new plan now
This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability.
Joining ICE does not give you license to murder.
The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.

This is not a life or death situation, obviously, but my hair is falling out from stress/hormones, and it's just one more thing making me cry. I can get a wig for $100, but I just don't have it extra. If anyone can help, that would be amazing.

So I have no shoes that actually support my feet (super narrow, high arches). I can't afford shoes that fit and support my foot. With the spinal damage causing my gait to be odd, I really need shoes that fit right as today's blisters proved. My birthday is in 6 days www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
