“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

Be kind.

People are often trying their best, even when it may not look or feel that way to us.
Some, most, are working far harder than we will ever know.

With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.

"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

Getting to be neighbors with one of my best friends in Paris and having dinners with her will always be one of happiest memories ❤️ So many photos to go through

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday

We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone. 🧡
A small act of kindness can reach places only compassion can heal.
Never underestimate the power of simply being gentle, present, and kind, you might be the light someone needs today

Love it!

Happy belated birthday, Pokey! ❤️

A beautiful girl!

Yes there are more important things going on in the world. I'm also incredibly politically active offline in multiple countries x

I did synchronized swimming for 10+ years and was so addicted to this song I tried to pitch a Shinedown themed show. Never happened but it really is so beautiful www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbsD...

I love women. And I hate a**holes

It's sad how many times you talk with women who have stopped something they loved and how many times it's often because of a creep in their industry. Things have to get better

The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

A white sheet of paper with black text which says "Zehra n'est pas seule Zehra se lève au matin, Sans papiers, sans lendemain. Mais son regard dit : « Je vis », Et sa voix dit : « Je tiens ici. » Zehra, Zehra, tu n'es pas seule, Ton chant rejoint mille autres voix. Dix-huit ans d'injustice, ça suffit, Nous sommes là, debout, pour toi. On t'a promis, on t'a menti, On t'a jugée, on t'a trahie, Mais sous la peur, sous le froid, Ton courage parle pour toi. Zehra, Zehra, tu n'es pas seule, Ton chant rejoint mille autres voix. Dix-huit ans d'injustice, ça suffit, Nous sommes là, debout, pour toi. Zehra debout ! Zehra courage ! Nous portons ton message. Zehra debout ! Zehra demain ! Le droit de vivre, c'est le tien ! Zehra, Zehra, tu n'es pas seule, Ton chant rejoint mille autres voix. Dix-huit ans d'injustice, ça suffit, Nous sommes là, debout, pour toi." Out of focus in the background are color printed photographs of Zehra and her friends on the side of her tent

After 7 months on a hunger strike for her right to asylum, my friend Zehra's deportation from France has been cancelled. Her hunger strike is now over

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

If you’re feeling helpless amidst the ongoing horrors being perpetrated by ICE… engage in mutual aid.

Donate to someone in need. Give to a community library or food bank.

You could also help Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held by ICE for a year.

They say they've never had coffee that tastes like a milkshake. C'est vrai 🤦🏼‍♀️

One of worst things I've done. Every few weeks I get a text from a different French friend at Dunkin in Paris 😬
