How a patriot spends her day off … with the resistance! It looked like several hundred gathered to protest at Sen. Thom Tillis’ Charlotte office. We got a LOT of friendly waves, honks, raised fists, and only a handful of a-holes giving us the finger. #Indivisible #MoveOn #FElon

Today I pulled up FB and the first thing it decided to show me was the orange dictator’s scary new profile pic. So I reported the photo for promoting hate.

So, 2025 starts off with a lot of trees and branches across my favorite trail … but my trusty walking sticks got me through. May you find your own walking sticks this year (metaphorical or literal—mine are from Eddie Bauer) to help you over any rough terrain. Happy new year!
