It's heartbreaking. My ultimate goal is to create a world where my child and friends can grow up and be accepted no matter who they are. It feels like their goal is to create a Nazi Germany where everyone looks and thinks the same.
I didn't even tell you about the old dude at the doctor's office the other day that complimented my "beautiful WHITE baby."
First of all, he's mixed...
Omg. Well that's terrifying.... Neo-Nazis alive and well in Cali....

It's absolutely mirroring Nazi Germany, it's horrendous in this informed day in age that people think this is ok. I mean even George W was all 'hold up all Muslims aren't terrorists', when everyone thought he was the worst.
I don't agree with a lot of my PM does but his quick tweet to denounce trump's disgusting new 'policy' with #WelcometoCanada was quickly respected.
According to Canada suburbia, aka; my physio office, someone will take him out and he'll be assassinated in no time 😐

Oh, plus, let's not forget, these are the "ALL LIVES MATTER" people.
Where are they now? Refugees don't matter much, do they?
Ding, ding, ding.
What they really meant was white cops matter. I would include white cute kids in there too, but not if they're on Obamacare.
This stands out to me: For the community of conservative thinkers and experts, and more importantly, conservative politicians, this is a testing time. Either you stand up for your principles and for what you know is decent behavior, or you go down, if not now, then years from now, as a coward or opportunist. Your reputation will never recover, nor should it.
So true. This is a true test of values. This is a time to stand up and recognize right from wrong. When we look back on Nazi Germany and wonder why it got so far: because people didn't speak up. Everyone should be speaking up, regardless of what they are registered as.
PTing here. No accidents since 7am! We did take an hour to run to the grocery store, and I put a pull up on Josie. Question: I can do another full day tomorrow, but on Tuesday she has school from 1230 to 3. Do I do pants-free before and after school?
The PT book I read is very anti pull-ups. Once you stop using them (aside from nap/night) you shouldn't use them again. She said after the naked period to do commando: pants no panties. I would bring her to preschool and see what they want to do.

cagoldi, my MIL once said, "White babies are the most beautiful babies" while looking at my very fair skinned mixed niece...
We were at a bar yesterday and the bartender ignored my black BIL. Then refused to touch his glass/napkin/ect after someone else served him. It was so horrible.
It was good once we finally got there! Leading up to it was super frustrating. My mom never swares and is soooo nice said my sister was acting like a bitch. Which she so was. Nothing was organized and then she'd get so pissed at us for not knowing something she never told us. Fun once it started though
Cherhorowitz Like the tweet that says, "Remember in history class when you would sit there and think, 'if I were alive then, I would've...'
You're alive now. Whatever you're doing is what you would've done."
Yup. I have watched my H go so far left over the past couple of months over this. Once upon a time, we were both Republicans. I jumped ship a while ago but he's been hanging out in his moderate camp for a while. We're both horrified by this. People that support it are on the wrong side of history. One day our children's children will learn about this and be horrified. I want my grandchildren to know that not everyone fell in line.
I emailed a number of local Islamic centers in my area yesterday asking if there is anything I can do to help and let them know they are in my thoughts. I know it's probably fruitless but I want those that are scared to know they have allies.
Leaving in a little bit to go to the movies with a friend. She said I needed to contact her husband because he thinks she's cheating. I told her we'll just take a picture together while we're there as proof.
Um, that's kind of odd. Has she actually given him reason to be concerned, or is he paranoid or gaslighting?
He's just a dick and doesn't want to watch his kids. He tries to get her to cancel anytime she wants to do something on her own.
vinolove we saw Missing Figures. It was really good!

This is a speak now or forever hold your peace moment. If you're doing the latter, then you're giving tacit approval to the people who called for "peaceful ethnic cleansing."

A friend of mine was on a gay cruise and when they docked, they detained one of the guys on the cruise. He lives here, he has a job here, his partner is here. They kill people in his country for being gay and you're going to talk about sending him back? This is not what our country stands for.
Despite the ruling last night, Department of Homeland Security says they aren't stopping the ban.
THIS IS WHAT A DICTATORSHIP LOOKS LIKE.
But checks and balances! Except when the Executive branch decides to ignore the judicial branch, then we are all screwed. And anyone who is totally surprised was wearing blinders.
ladystrat good for you. They were detaining children yesterday. Children.
It's only 90 days until it's your SO or child. Then it's a nightmare.
Yeah I heard about a 5 year old and multiple elderly (80+) people being detained. Allegedly an older couple of detainees had their medications confiscated?? WTH is going on?

Mentally handicapped, disabled, etc. We look just as bad as those countries that we're supposedly so against.

I've heard too many of these horrible stories today. It's heartbreaking and terrifying.
Insane. My friend kept sharing his posts. He legit said something like "if I get sent back, at least I got to live my life to the fullest as a gay man in the USA and I thank you all for being part of the experience." Like, he isn't evil. Evil is sending a good person back to a country that hasn't been his home in years and he's preparing for a potential death there.
I forgot until about 1:00 this afternoon that I had agreed to watch my nephew this evening/overnight. Putting a 3 year old and 2.5 year old to bed together went much better than I expected. They are in sleeping bags on H's floor.
