I’m a blue dot in a red state and am so tired right now. Always looking for hope and wisdom and I also love dogs.🐕
I’m so ashamed that my city is rumored to be hosting the next ICE Detention facility. It makes me sick. Everything about this makes me sick. I guess protesting will be easier on me though, not too much of a drive.

America 2026. WTF
ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Hope is what we do when the odds are long and the options limited. It is the stubborn act of trying when despair feels easier. Rather than a passive optimism, hope is the commitment of those who believe they can make a difference, however small. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

This makes my heart hurt. I’m so over the way things are and simply overwhelmed by what we can do to change anything at this point.

@dannieboop.bsky.social looking for another copy of your writing about disability. Saw it at Innerspace KC and grabbed one for a friend but wish I had grabbed one for myself too. Is it available anywhere?

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.
