I just got off the phone with them, they did lock down but it sounds like the kids are all doing ok. H is closer to that area from his work so he's going to go get him now, but with the street closures it will likely take a while. If it helps you to know when our school had to do that the kids didn't even know Mine didn't either. To this day she thinks it was a pretend lockdown

I am starting to question the integrity of the Secret Service, just like the CDC

So incredibly sad and with the temps we’ve had around here for the past 2 months, finding ways to get outside and stay cool has been tough. I cannot imagine. Devastating.

cakewench thankful everyone is okay. My middle 2 don’t really remember their lockdown either, other than DS2 remembering they were in the closet for a while and DS3 wasn’t being super quiet.

Beto is very good at this He just keeps getting better! I’ll vote for him again and again. Reminds me I need a new yard sign. When he ran against Cruz I put a sign out and my house got egged. That neighborhood obviously wasn’t for me and we recently moved.

I am starting to question the integrity of the Secret Service, just like the CDC They are (unfortunately) pretty well known for sex and alcohol scandals.

Kind of random, but I wanted to share with people who can appreciate: I'm getting married next month and we just sent out our invitations. Under the 'registry' part, it says, "In lieu of gifts, please make a donation to Planned Parenthood, the Blue Ridge Abortion Fund (local to me), or the Trevor Project."
I have been really pleased with the response from people on that. I wasn't sure how it would go over, but several of my friends have commented how much they love it. I mean, they are my friends, so obviously like minded, but still.

Wow, that is devastating for the Engel family. Every time I read about a child death like that it really hits me. So unfair.

Emily Calandrelli and Katie Porter worked together to introduce this legislation addressing how TSA handles breast milk, formula, and feeding supplies. Hopefully it passes!

Minerva, Emily's experience with TSA that inspired this was so awful. I'm glad they're doing something about it.
