A revolutionary act to state
my pronouns are she/her
A revolutionary act to say
Inclusion is pure wonder
An act of love to hold
My LGBTQ+ friends & family dear!
When in fact there could be no revolution at all!
We could simply embrace each other! Enjoying Rainbows!

I support my transgender family, friends, community!
Visibility is a right!
I am deeply grateful for a world where diversity is the norm and honored!
I am absolutely horrified by the threats to the transgender community - threats deserve the most severe condemnation!

Reflections on Radiance
In light of events current
I pick a Nation’s flower
to reflect the radiance
of its people
Undeterred
Determined
Shinning
oh so bright
In all lights
With all its might
it inspires
many a soul
to be better
to do better
to strive for joy
Boldly!

I am absolutely incensed:
“US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine”-CNN
This is betrayal / treason! I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦
We must continue standing up against enemies foreign and domestic!
Democracy must survive, our freedoms depend on it!

the United States is loosing its way. I’m horrified daily by the current administration, from turning its back on its allies to embracing its enemies, the list of wrongs mounts!
Hate, disinformation, lies, will haunt us for generations, it’s not too late to change course!

In a world filled
with alarming news
this morning I paused
to admire the return
of the light
Pale pink sky
Just past 6:30 am
Ushered in the day
Birds songs
Despite temperatures
At zero Fahrenheit
A frigid wind whips
snow right off trees
the light rises clear
A pink cloud floats
my dreams of Peace

It is absolutely outrageous to have the person wielding the pen behind the Oval Office desk think it is in any way shape or form ok to state they are above the law!
Their lawlessness will not save us. It will be our undoing.
We the People rise with the law!

They tell me outrage is not a good look for me! But what look would you have me have?!
Subservient!?

The hour is late!
Organize
Stand in Outrage too

Boycott President’s Day
For no one elected
the puppet master
In plain site he pulls the strings
and lays the government
Threadbare
While all along slumped
at his desk executive order pen in hand the elected one does his bidding
Shame!
Call to Urgent
Activism
Our democracy must
Stand as do we!

Ok so let me get this straight!
A sovereign nation is invaded, and parts of itself are unlawfully taken by the invading enemy; peaceful goals to make itself whole again and regain its sovereignty are called unrealistic!?
This is the ultimate gaslighting!!
What about returning what was stolen!!

Morning
A storm is brewing
Over a nation in crisis
Crisis of conscious
Constitutional crisis too
With our agencies being dismantled, our people fired, illegally, we are in an authoritarian government! One we will continue to fight with all our might!
Freedom is our end game!
Hear!

We are in the middle of what by all accounts looks like a coup and the person responsible is sitting in a football stadium!?
On a field that for his benefit removed the words “End Racism” as they target the transgender community!?
There is not enough outrage in the world!!

Diversity Equity Inclusion
Is one small step we were taking
to counter the onslaught of racism still rampant in our nation. A racism now on plain view from the top.
To awaken to a country being dismantled from the inside by racist thugs is absolutely horrifying!
Rise up! Now! Speak out!
