Dang @cava. I was completely disappointed with my order. The $14.50 Grains & meat bowl had hardly any meat, the kids meal 3 lamb meatballs had about 2 1/2 really small ones. And the $4 tzatziki side was only half full. Presentation was messy on all. Won't spend money here again.
.@Target this is actually pretty gross. I just did a drive-up pickup & this chicken salad that was given to me has a "USE BY" date of 30 OCT 2025. It was supposed to be eaten before last Halloween yet was still apparently in stock and used for today's order. Disgusting. #TARGET
WOW! This is incredible. Parents of the boy who was k*lled in Ohio by an immigrant SLAM Donald Trump for using their son’s name to spread hate.
Good for them!!! 💙
"Chip Roy, JD Vance, and Donald Trump, they have spoken my son's name and use his de*th for political gain.
They can vomit all the hate they want about illegal immigrants, the border crisis, and even untrue claims about fluffy pets being ravaged and eaten by community members.
However, they are not allowed, nor have they ever been allowed to mention Aiden Clark from Springfield, Ohio."

when i was a kid we had to go to a church food bank to receive free ramen, mac & cheese, hamburger helper (without the hamburger) & other such items. I never felt "less than" but I also never knew who provided what we were gifted.
The church bought my mom a car one time when she didn't have enough to replace the one that broke down. It was an old, green chevy nova (now it would be a classic, but at the time it was "ugly".) I never knew who did that either.
Someone once bought me a pair of pajamas simply because they thought i should have some and another person bought me a backpack so I could join my friends camping. They saw me. They didn't put me or my mom down. They saw me and they wanted me to have something good.
Today I saw posts of people questioning moms who use foodstamps and yet have their nails done. My mom was mistreated by her grandfather, her father, and my dad who left.
Now I find myself thinking back and if my mom had makeup or nice nails, I would look back at her now and say "good. you deserve it. life has kicked you down and you deserve a little something to hold your head high about. Go on and feel pretty. Because you are beautiful to me."
So you can sit there and judge that woman using food stamps and having nice nails. Or you can ask her if there's anything she needs or simply just tell her she looks nice. Chances are she needs to hear it.
Dignity - everyone deserves it. Spread a little
My name is Kristin Song.
On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.
At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.
I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.
The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.
So I did.
6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.
Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.
In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.
When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.
Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.
I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

I’m crying now. 😭
“My father quit on us when I was five.
Mom remarried a few years later.
She then passed away in a car accident when I was nine.
Both biological parents were gone before I turned ten.
I was stuck living with my Mom’s new husband whom I had only known for a short time. He wasn’t my “real” dad. Randle isn’t even my real last name.
Steve Randle then showed me the meaning of real. He dedicated his life to raising us (I have a younger sister and brother).
When Steve met my Mom, he was a successful attorney. As a single parent dealing with deep sorrow, he gave up so many of his own interests to be there for me.
He has taught me more about life than anyone else – the most important being belief in myself, commitment to family, and faith in God.
I have never made a major personal or professional decision without seeking his advice first.
Graduated from college with his support.
Chose my career path with his guidance.
I’m a better dad because of his example.
Anyone can be a father. It takes love, support and encouragement to be a real dad.
My last name is Randle. It means more to me than any amount of money, possessions, or corporate titles.
There are several I admire but Dad is my only hero.
I love you DAD! Beyond grateful to be your son.
-Nate”
