I'm a mom, wife and director for a hunger relief org. Lefty in a red county, in a purple state. Christian (but not nationalist.) I hate tooting my own horn but I'll sing praises about others all day long. She/her.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.
The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.
Something has gone terribly wrong.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Instead of looking for a new therapist, I am making signs to self soothe. In honor of the NFL Draft in my home state of WI, I made a themed one to protest at Tom Tiffany's local office on Wed. I haven't added them all on Etsy yet but if anyone is interested. vocalpix.etsy.com

I saw advice to buy extra cans of food when you’re at the grocery store to donate to the food bank.
I want to politely nudge you to give the money directly to food banks (or to mutual aid groups if you know of any).
We can usually stretch a dollar farther than a dollar’s worth of canned goods

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next?
This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.
