Don't tune out completely. America needs you & your voice. Take care of your mental health. Hang out with people who support you. Love one another. But we still need to be dissenting voices when our nation is being attacked from within, and preserve what we can. Tomorrow is another day. ❤️🗽
Happy Birthday to Joe Biden! For 50+ years, he worked hard for the people he served. I chose this picture because he fought for good, with integrity and knowledge of how the government works. He'd be the first to tell you he wasn't perfect. But he always tried! For the People. 🎉❤️⭐

“THERE ARE ABOUT A THOUSAND OF US.”
"There are about a thousand of us" who were victims of Jeffrey Epstein. OMG. These women are brave to speak out about the horror. They deserve justice. Release all the Epstein files, & don't let Trump hold any back.

Curiously (or not really), the 7 Dem senators who voted w/GOP on shutdown all had funding from airlines. So did those airlines also pay for ugly golden ballroom or other Trump atrocity?
The Trump admin is killing a Biden-era proposal that would have required airlines to pay passengers up to $775 in cashfor significant travel disruptions within carriers' control.

With #MeToo movement, millions of survivors shared their experiences of sexual abuse, sexual harassment, & rape. A small but ugly backlash followed, pushing #tradwife & anti- #VotingRights for women. Now we must raise our voices loudly to hold accountable the criminals revealed in the #EpsteinFiles.

Last night I unfriended Trump supporters on Facebook. Some of them were ex-relatives. One voted 3x for Trump bc he supported the military. Really? And as a businessman he would drain the swamp. How'd that work? Another complained Obama & Biden didn't "fix" ACA healthcare. Trump will fix it!

Contact your Senators & Representatives in Congress. Demand they release the Epstein Files. We need to hold people accountable for their crimes & not allow others to cover it up. We demand justice & accountability, not extortion & bribery for silence. USA deserves better.

Let's do the math. Trump marries 1st wife at age 31. Say he bought a house then, with a 50-year mortgage. At age 47 with 2nd wife, he doesn't have enough home equity to buy a bigger house. At age 79, he still has 2 years left on mortgage. But what about retirement, aging, health issues?

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Trump talks through the Me-Myself-I filter. Asked how people will afford health insurance, etc., he's basically saying "I can afford it, so it's not a problem." Everything else, from bad polling numbers to people in food lines, he can't understand. That's not his reality. Truth doesn't exist.
Trump told Fox News he doesn’t believe that people are anxious about money.
