It’s out.
Pic of Virginia Roberts Guiffre’s book Nobody’s Girl, A Memoir of surviving abuse and fighting for Justice. The cover shows a ghostly faint image of Virginia as a teen when she was hired to work at Mar a Lago and soon became trafficked to the rich and powerful.

Stay stubborn. Stay brave. Slava Ukraini. My heart breaks for all the heavy lifting, the sacrifices, the burdens you endure for the good of all. 💙💛
A medium sized flatbed truck labeled “Ukraine” is pulling a massively large silo labeled “Peaceful future of the free world” and represents the heavy lifting, the burden, the sacrifices Ukraine is making for the good of all.

Pic of last weekend’s Portland Marathon showing runners in colorful gear along the waterfront, with text that reads: MAGA, please try to think this through logically. If Portland was a “war zone” that legitimately needed federal troops to stabilize it, would 12K people have convened in the heart of the city to run a marathon? FOX News is lying to you.

Portland has about 1 block’s worth of protest going on. Being in the north, city blocks are designed for walking & weather so they’re only 200 ft square- California city blocks average 4x larger. My point is, even in 2020 the supposed War Zone Hell Hole is limited to a very tiny area.
Pic of downtown Portland Oregon showing potted plants, shops, restaurants and that the city blocks are only 200 ft square, 4x smaller than most cities and designed for walking and weather. Posted to remind friends that the protests are happening in a 1 block area, so in a very tiny part of town.

Resharing a post about the more harm guns do vs Tylenol, and the blaming women and this med for neurodivergence and the stigmatization of autism as a problem to be solved is a choice.

💔 This is every Mom. Parents just get it. The “love that makes you run through fear”.
We don’t have to live this way. Stop the insanity and demand change. Let’s prove we love our kids more than guns.

today I’m going to comfort my fur family while our neighbors waste their dollars blowing things up for noise, celebrating what exactly they don’t even know, loving on my family just so I don’t lose my effing mind!
Keep speaking truth.
Keep revealing truth.

They’re building more & more concentration camps, will disappear ANY of US, & when they get too crowded + messy to run, they’ll find final solutions. We KNOW that’s where this ultimately leads. WE are the only remedy, so what will we do??
