Here's a short video explaining their waste of our tax dollars and the destruction of our rights and country.z

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...
We Are on Our Own
From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

The Dow is down 1.99% over the last 7 days - still very near its all-time high.

Every headline on my phone: DOW SUFFERS LONGEST LOSING STREAK SINCE 1978!!!!

In case anyone was wondering how headlines impact public perception.

I hope everyone has a fabulous week. Photo was taken this morning in Glastonbury, shortly after sunrise. Quite a stormy feel to the sky this morning.

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?

A hard lesson for me this cycle has been to learn that some people I know do not care about others and are actually quite selfish. Some turned out to be racist, others misogynistic, and most just selfish. The real eye opener was lack of critical thinking. It’s been very disappointing.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

When men speak their minds, they’re considered to be assertive.
When women speak their minds, they’re considered to be aggressive.
Speak your mind. Be a leader. F*ck the patriarchy.

Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature.

Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.

Serious question…are these picks designed to deliberately piss off the rational part of the country? Nobody could believe these are well thought out appointments, could they? I’m naive…can’t figure if it’s a royal FU, a payback, or if he really thinks this is a good idea, or just the mind going.
