This is so heartbreaking, and also I am going to make my PSA again. Babies can be vaccinated against measles as young as six months, it’s just not standard. It’s usually only recommended for international travel in the US. But guess what? We’re the plague pit now.

Kids have class pictures today so I trimmed my daughter’s bangs, cut my son’s hair, and then felt like I should do something with my hair. So, grabbed some leftover brown coloring conditioner I had from Overtone and colored my hair, then gave myself a trim. Turns out I like looking put together.

No mention in this article by @bostonglobe.com that these planes are operated by Omni Air and have also been used for ICE deportations. I think it's worth mentioning repeatedly that the Patriots have a relationship with the company doing the detainee torture flights.
