Dad. Husband. Work in progress. CF-L2.
Two things can be true
Grief over a broken home
Joy to watch it burn

One breath at a time
Infinite drops of rain fall
Summer washed away

My body slowly mends
Splintered bones and a bruised mind
Spring birds fell silent

Our freedoms they say
Are inked on revered parchment
These and seasons fade

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977.

Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

I have been confused
Stretched thin as to disappear
Spring warmth frees me

In sweet morning solitude

Till the earth of stolen land

It’s like people are maybe starting to listen 👂 #StoicismLiteracy
Stoics don't suppress emotions! Seneca taught that feelings like anger & grief are a natural part of human existence. It's our reaction that matters. Feel it, understand it, then respond with wisdom. Don't let them control you. #Stoicism #EmotionalResilience #Philosophy #Seneca

Wind howls as screams fade
We mask these acts as common
Such blooms this deadly spring

I have been reading
More tales of our history
I can’t see the light

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

It’s the hugs mostly
And the small pats on the back
Spring wakes and they grow

If any Hugo Awards voters enjoyed Lower Decks, it would be very cool to get a nod!

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.
