Feels like we all need to add as much pro-social, Mr Rogers like activity as possible just as a homeostatic response to all the ambient evil floating around right now.
Anyway I just signed up to read with little kids on Wednesday mornings before work.

They don’t know me, and I don’t owe them shit, but I will do them this one little favor, I’ll give them this one teeny tidbit of advice - if you underestimate me, you’ll do so at your own peril.

During Trump’s last term, he made over 30,000 false or misleading claims. It’s always important to verify facts. For instance, he once stated that ‘raking the forest’ could help prevent forest fires.

Happy #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisabilities to anyone dealing with any disability, visible or not.
Reminders:
Being able-bodied is never guaranteed in perpetuity.
Disability benefits can be lost simply for getting married.
Accessibility benefits EVERYONE.

It is absurd and obscene to suggest the only way our military can project strength is to appoint as its leader a guy whose own mother called an abusive POS.
And you can't explain it away as "boys be wild."

I quit watching Morning Joe in 2016. They suppressed the excitement for Hillary Clinton. I see they have never quit working for Trump.
These two have a lot to gain with the Trump presidency. They will be relevant every day talking about the shit coming from the Trump administration. Fool me once..

From my friend Ashley Mack:
35 states have a state constitutional amendment or statutes prohibiting same-sex marriage.
Chances are your state has a ban. SCOTUS justices as well as members of Trump’s incoming admin have suggested same-sex marriage should be a state issue.
Local elections matter!

They’re letting women who are miscarrying die from sepsis and forcing rape survivors to carry their rapist’s babies to term.
They’re promising to repeal the Affordable Care Act with nothing to replace it.
If anyone is teaching a fear of pregnancy, it’s them.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.
