I offered to pick up Fleur from my parents the day after our international trip was called off, and they were all, “She’s good, she sleeps at our feet and follows us everywhere without a leash. Come next week."

I keep finding myself holding out berries for her 🥺. I cannot wait to get her back!!

Taking a few moments today to reflect on the lives others laid down to protect us, even as our culture lets us stay removed and unaware if we choose… yet another privilege built on their sacrifices. I am thankful beyond measure. 🕊️

Shouting out Kristina Filler- muralist & illustrator. 💙 her work! She's also an advocate for gun violence prevention, DEI, & just an all-around awesome human. Looking for vibrant art for a project or just a cool artist to follow in NJ/ NYC? Check her out!

I agree with CHAT GPT. #Graham is only:
1️⃣ Distracting from what a dumpster 🔥 the past 💯 days have been (we’ve got to stay on 🎯!),
2️⃣ Provoking liberals to appease his base, &
3️⃣ Stirring the media pot because Felon Trump loves seeing his mug on screens... no matter how 🤡 or cringe the captions.

While 🎨 my kids' wonky toy cat a few days ago, I had just started the 👀 when my toddler distracted me.

My older son found it mid-paint & trapped it under a box with several books on top... to make sure it didn’t escape. 🫣#parentfail

No matter how it turns out, it’ll forever be #ZombieCat. 🤦‍♀️

They parted ways with her in 2020. I had no idea she ever worked with them!

When we came home from a playdate/parent hang at a friend's house, my son ran over to the page I had colored there.
"Mom! I'm so proud of you. You did such a good job coloring the letters rainbow. I love it! I'm hanging it on the fridge." 🥹Here’s to the small things grounding us in this maelstrom.

If by "First" he means faceplanting head-first, then mission accomplished. Who needs allies, right? #YOLO 🫠 Ukraine deserves better than this. #PutinsPoodle.

Come one, come all, & see DJT’s Official 10-K SEC Filing! 🎪👑
Look at what a… businessman the self-proclaimed "King" is.

It’s publicly available info.
Just Google: DJT 10-K

👉 Page 43 was WILD!

You’ll never look at things the same way... or maybe you will. 🤔

My 5-year-old gets home & hands me the bouquet he picked out with Dad at the store...still wearing his little Spiderman winter hat.

"Happy New Year's, Mom. I love you! Happy New Year's? Er, wait- oh! Happy Valentine’s... or is it New Year's?"

10/10 "New Year's" 🥰 Wishing you all positive vibes! ❤️

Journal of the Academy of Public Health = Giving me Tobacco Industry Research Committee vibes (see excerpt)

1. The Academy of Public Health's editorial board seems to challenge mainstream research quite often.

2. "Independent Science" connected to RealClearPolitics= 🚨 with RFK Jr.

Also, WIRED = 🏆

Fleur dragged my youngest’s blankies out of the laundry to make herself a posh little nest earlier. My son napped with my fuzzy bathrobe instead. At least someone in the house felt relaxed and pampered today! 🫠🐶 #Dogsky

Be well; stay well, all! Rest and recharge!

👀 It’d be a real shame if thousands of folks visited Rep. Schweikert’s Instagram page, liked this post, and left more fact-driven comments about who he's actually serving. 😉 😉

The rich owners of mainstream media have a vested interest in protecting Elon’s tax cuts...they’ve always aligned themselves with profit. They will pick the media narrative that guarantees them this profit. Independent media is crucial for getting out the truth. Record! Post! Send to ind. media!

PS- Watch out for impersonators; they are insanely bold. One just commented on my post pretending to be Mark on Mark's actual profile *Reported*! Always check user handles, folks! Ok, class is over 😂! Be safe! 💙

The decisions about what, how, when, & where to cover stories (and what to avoid entirely) come from oligarchs. With roughly six companies controlling legacy media, narratives follow 🤑 profits, not the truth.

Thanks 🐞! I wish everyone in the media chose bravery, knowing they help construct "reality." Sadly, #legacymedia, long in the pocket of #oligarchs, has fully bent the knee in the name of profit 💰and power🏛️. Cat’s out of the bag, though... no putting it back in.
Paper-1972 🫠. Viva Independent Media!🇺🇸
