My combination dyslexia & ADHD can make my posts a bit of a puzzle-still better than NYT Wordle.
Fuck patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, and fascism.
I do social work, support humanitarian groups, and love my spouse, my kids, and my dog.

The US has sent millions of soldiers to foreign soil to fight, risking death, dismemberment & horrible injury to defend freedom & fight for our rights guaranteed in the constitution. Are we going to fight for our rights or hand them over to a felon child predator?

A drowning man takes those around him down with him. 🍊🤡 is drowning & will take all his enablers & conspirators down. He will also inflict horrible damage on the people who hold him to account or expose him. The citizens of this will pay a huge price. Find your community & band together against him.
Murphy: "It's clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what's in those files. What we've already seen is immensely incriminating. Clearly Trump was at the center of a child sex ring ... the scandal could bring him down."

This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

It’s obvious now and everyone knows it. Trump is associated with Epstein and protecting Ghislane Maxwell to protect himself. Every Republican now has a choice, pick a side. No middle ground. Support or oppose trafficking

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

I called both Senators and left a message. I don’t know if they’ll hear the message before a vote is taken, but I hope they are being made aware that their constituents are calling. It’s been a 💩 day here-volcano is going off, rain & wind & we lost power, but I called. Everyone should.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

SNAP participants can double their spending at their local farmers market or farm stands through a national initiative known as the Double Up Bucks food program. The policy council gives each customer wooden tokens, and if they spend $40, they will receive an additional $40 to spend.
