Human rights, democracy, and the rule of law equally, for all. Lifelong reader forever striving to understand others. Dog mom, step-mom, foster mom, Tia, and soon to be grandmother. Proud Smithie! Must have coffee. Lucky to have work that fulfills me.

I am determined to move forward & act as if, until it becomes reality, that collectively we will prevail. Democracy, human rights & rule of law will stand. Each day I wake up & recommit myself. I will not preemptively capitulate.

I just voted against Kristi Noem’s confirmation.
Our immigration system is in desperate need of reform — but it won’t be fixed by organized acts of cruelty.
We need a DHS Secretary who puts the rule of law and constitution first — not the caprice of the President.

Sen. Joni Ernst could've torpedoed Hegseth's nomination for defense secretary. She's a military veteran and survivor of sexual assault. Hegseth was credibly accused of abuse of women, including rape.
Joni Ernst's "yes" vote will make women less likely to come forward. She voted for sexual assault.
