AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Brené Brown hits the nail on the head about dehumanization and boundaries.

The choice of what language is used communicates whether your safety and security are at risk.

She articulates her thoughts much better than I can, but this clip of Brené Brown (on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO podcast) is exactly where I am with those whose votes brought us to this moment. ...

Local and state police should be arresting the Gestapo. We need to find out why. Let’s ask @govpritzker.illinois.gov why he’s allowing citizens of Illinois to be assaulted without arresting the perpetrators.

Between COVID’s clotting issues and now playing with fire because of hot flashes, women are under siege.

There are holistic ways to carry a woman through menopause, to work with the natural change that occurs. We do not have to go back into the Dark Ages!!!

This is the video that ICE is denying it ever happened. This family are US citizens. Just think about that for a sec. A drive by chemical attack of Americans, including a baby.

ICE shot a pepper ball into a car with a child. This was a drive by shooting. It’s a crime. Arrest and prosecute these masked men!

Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand
Says "don't you see?"
Gotta make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up
You got an empty cup
Only love can fill

SOURCES: The Epstein files are actually worse than previously thought. Here's my latest episode of The Breakdown in case you missed it yesterday. www.muellershewrote.com/p/sources-th...
SOURCES: The Epstein Files ARE Worse Than Previously Thought
I reached out to sources that reviewed the files after David Shuster reported that republicans in the House are panicking. This is about what I learned.

On a local note, the RIDOT shut down 2 of 4 lanes, in each direction on 95 in Cranston. The resulting back up, along w/ the Washington Bridge fiasco, has made my 12 min commute over an hour in one direction.

My patients are not having it. Schedule is half empty with their cancellations.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
