I was stunned to see several hummingbirds this morning ♥️
Hummingbirds may be tiny, but they’re incredibly strong with a high level of endurance. This makes them symbols of strength and adaptability.
Hummingbirds also can signify a visit from a departed loved one & the beginning of a new era.

In addition to kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and adding trillions to the deficit, other parts of Trump’s Budget are also harmful and unpopular.
We need to make sure more people learn about them.
