JFC. Do these ICE agents not realize that they’re the bad guys? That if there were a movie made about this, they would be the faceless and soul-less soldiers/corrupt cops/Stormtroopers/terrorists banging on doors as terrified children cower silently inside? Are they under some kind of illusion that they’re the good…

I have missed you.

I love this post.

That school (NEST) is a very competitive school for gifted students and is tough to get into. It has a lot of minority students and talks a lot about encouraging good citizenship, etc.. I don’t know why the administration thought it would be a good idea to discourage the students from participating in a protest.

She sounds awesome.

You are doing God’s work.

I love your dogs, even though I had a hard time figuring out the bottom half of the photo at first.

Hardly anything makes me laugh in this crappy, crappy time we’re living in, but your “why do you hate handicapped horses, johnny depp?” post actually made me laugh. It was an awkward, bark-like laugh that was then replaced with the usual rage and despair, but it was nice while it lasted.

It seems like this just a thing that celebrities do. I remember Debra Messing did this when Will & Grace was still on — claimed she used to get shoved into lockers all the time in high school — and classmates of hers said no, she was really popular in high school.

This deserves many, many more stars.

Starring this both for the comment itself, and the excellent Giles quotation.

I just looked at her blog, and the whole post about her child’s injury is about how she has PTSD now and is really stressed. And there’s another blurb that reminds me of one of those tragedy-mommy-bloggers who generate page views by writing about almost catastrophes:

The look on the little boy’s face is magic. I also love how his tie is hanging over the velvet rope — as if he was playing with his tie while he waited, draping it over the velvet rope, and then saw Obama and was too mesmerized to do anything.

I am very sad, but I love this post.

One Halloween a few years ago, a neighbor asked what our then-7-year-old daughter’s costume was. We said, “Princess Leia,” and the kind but clueless neighbor said reassuringly, “Don’t worry — she’ll grow out of the princess stage soon.”

Each time I tried to star your post, it (at least on my screen) looked like I took a star away. I’m assuming this is not actually happening and is just some weird thing on my computer — but if I actually did take any stars from your post (or the other ones I tried to star), I am really sorry.

This post — about your pride in the accomplishments of these Americans — brings tears to my eyes. We should all feel the way you do.

I agree with your first sentence, and your second sentence is so brilliant that I have lost all the rest of my words.

One of these names, by itself, wouldn’t be so bad. But it would take an unimaginable lack of self-awareness to decide on all three of these names. Did none of their friends tell them how very douchey this would make them seem? How they would be basically turning into the very worst hipster stereotype that people…

I don’t think you know what that word means.
