If Jeremiah were around, he'd be saying this, and preachers would quote him and say, "this is the word of God for the people of God."
Jeremiah is not here, so I'll say it for him. Fuck ICE, and everyone who empowers them. Word of God.

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

10-ish year old kid just ran on the field at the Nats game. Doesn't he know the National Guard is in town to stop marauding youth?

At the Nats game alone listening to the game with earbuds. Tapped them to get the "ambient aware" setting and suddenly got a whiff of pot. I don't think that's how that's supposed to work 😎

Remember that line about when fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and waving the Bible? The thing is I never thought I would see it, but here we are.

If Joe Biden said "I appointed Jerome Powell" the media would go nuts with stories about Biden losing cognitive abilities (and rightly so, if he did that). But when Trump says he's surprised that Biden appointed Powell: crickets. I'm surprised about that too since the appointment came in 2018.

Our youngest child ages off of our insurance this month. She does gig work that serves kids in Title 1 schools. Helping her navigate the market and she asked "why is this so stupid?" Our answer: capitalism with a heavy pour of racism.
