I had to put this amaryllis outside as ants suddenly appeared on it. It has stayed this beautiful despite temps in the 20’s for a week. I’m going to be like this amaryllis—hold strong and thrive despite the harsh conditions I find myself in. I—we will survive and thrive.

Every time someone jumps on socials and says there is no point to mass protest days and visible reaction in the streets, share this chart with them. The approval ratings are tanking not just because they're doing bad things but also because protestors won't let people forget it either.

It’s called TIA—transient ischemic attack. Only MRI’s can show their presence. They lead to vascular dementia. A lifetime of drug abuse brings them on. Trump is a known abuser of amphetamines, which harms the vascular system.

Aren’t Rupert Murdoch, Peter Thiel and Elon Musk enough examples of an immigration policy that’s hurting America?

Remember when he mocked everyone else for being “low energy”? Look at him now.
Nodding off, slurring, and cutting his days short because he cannot keep up. The myth of unstoppable Trump is long gone.
