In 2016, Ken Paxton had the audacity to sit at my table and break bread with my family knowing full well that my son is trans, then SIX YEARS LATER wrote an opinion stating that families like mine shouldn't exist. Within days, a CPS investigator was in our home threatening to remove our children.🧵

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.
The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.
‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.
So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

In case you weren’t aware, government grants that are multi-year have an evaluation each year to ensure all of the criteria are being met before another year of funding is dispersed. So they could just prepare a list of everything they want to stop funding when a cycle completes. But they aren’t.

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Yesterday, President Biden finalized a rule to remove medical debt from the credit reports of millions of Americans.
The number of Americans with medical debt on their credit reports will be zero — down from 46 million right before he took office.
Why isn’t anybody talking about this?

I have to leave Facebook. One of the things I’m struggling most with is there are 3-4 groups there I absolutely love and those same groups cannot be found here. :(

Had a work meeting today. Only thing on the agenda: be mindful of your time and energy through the end of the year. Don’t schedule the meeting. Don’t dive into a project that will require you to put it on someone else’s plate when you’re done. Be mindful of THEIR time and energy.
