Here for ME/CFS info. Fatigue & brain fog limit my interactions quite a bit.

Love animals, the outdoors and happy stories, work in art department for photo and video production.

Ceasefire in Gaza, open fire on CEOs.

To keep Donald Trump’s voter base entertained with spectacles of predatory violence, ICE recruiters are offering bribes to seduce gullible individuals into doing harm to their neighbors.

To counter this, we have prepared a video and poster campaign of our own.

New research shows major damage in the brain stress system of people with very severe ME/CFS.

The key finding: a near-loss of the neurons that start the cortisol stress response. This helps explain low cortisol and many symptoms.

Let’s break it down in simple language.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

"what's the point of standards?" Is such a perfect epitaph for america.

MY PLAN TO LOWER COSTS

My opponent says he’ll lower costs, but hasn’t said how. Here are three things I can do within the first year as your Congresswoman to lower costs for working families. Healthcare and groceries shouldn’t force you into debt.

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

There’s no screening for ovarian cancer and it’s really difficult to spot: you can’t squidge your ovaries in the shower to check for lumps. Also it’s very good at masquerading at other things, like IBS and diverticulitis.

Please take a look at this list of symptoms - and share if you can.
