Secular Sunday – Happy Parents’ Day?

I didn’t post this on Mother’s Day so I’ll post it on Father’s Day instead – a woman sneaks into a right-wing mother’s group on FB and starts posting about ICE and children being separated from their families. https://www.threads.com/@theletsnotdate/post/DYLoyAnjU_m

Always fun to visit my brother-in-law’s acreage (less fun to find a woodtick embedded in your belly the next day – how did I miss that?!?)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Civic Engagement (February 2004, June 2009, Sept 2025)
