"“It had disappeared, with the children. What happened that day is not called a departure or a removal. It’s called deportation. And we documented it.”
As someone who has had family members and friends deported, gone to spots to see others get off a planes, vans, trucks with nothing on their person not even shoe laces… that was rough, I still feel that anger feel it swell up in your chest bursting to come out" — Jun 06, 2023 08:11AM

“I looked at her. "Does God hate me? Me and Dante?"
"Of course not. I've never read anything in the Bible that indicates that God hates. Hate isn't in his job description."
"You sound so sure, Mom. Maybe you're not such a good Catholic."
"Maybe some people would say I'm not. But I don't need anybody to tell me how to live my faith."
"But me, I'm a sin, right?"
"No, you're not a sin. You're a young man. You're a human being. And you're my son.”
― Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World
