Just emailed my pediatrician to find out what vaccines i might be able to get my kid early because...RFK jr hates pediatric well-being.
Anyone know if 2025 has a 60 day warranty?

Until people start seeing disabled people as human beings and including us in liberation movements, civil rights are not safe for anyone.

the alt national parks is inviting me to boycott tesla...
absolutely. for many reasons.
luckily, my vocation as a pastor, and related pay check that doesn't quite measure up to the attached student loans, has pre-emptively made me a life time tesla boycotter 😂
...
but now to boycott with some gusto!

Something else I think people fail to realize is that Texas v. Beccera seeks to declare Section 504 unconstitutional due to spending clause regulations. Spending clause is also the mechanism behind the Civil Rights Act. This would set precedent. www.disability-rights-watch.com/2025/02/12/w...

Musk called this kid a parasite while DOGE spent $14 million in two weeks.

My oldest was on a DDA medicaid waiver and received therapies through IDEA. My youngest is on extended Medicaid. My mother is a retired teacher who enjoys Medicare and her earned Social Security.
Elon Musk openly calls these children and this respected elder "parasites."
This has to end. Now.

When I began to suspect I couldn’t save my oldest, I measured every day against:
What I owed her
What wonder we could sneak into a hard day?

Even if we can’t save some things,
What do we owe one another?
And what wonder we squeeze into this day?

Lets go down fighting, playing, loving

I made five calls. Slightly cried through two calls. Wept after. Now to prep valentine crafts for kid.
Today is a mixed media artwork using construction paper, googly eyes, glue sticks, cell phones, story, rage, tears, laughter, and the words "I love you."
What are will you make with this day?

Just watched a video of a Lutheran governor refusing to say Lutheran Social Services is not a laundering money.
I have watch Christians throw everyone Christ loved under the bus and ignore every single biblical principle except some verses in Leviticus about who can have sex with whom... /1

ok kid, let’s get quiet and pay attention. he’s quoting Jesus now. you know what he’s saying?
Jesus said whatever you do to neighbors made vulnerable by injustices, you do to Jesus. if you love Jesus, you take care of neighbors and seek justice.

Warnock providing christian ed for my 5 year old.
February 6, 2025 at 1:05 AM
kid, listening to Raphael Warnock tell a story about a sick mom…
“Wait. That momma lost her job and her doctors? We’ve got to shut that down.”
Amen kid. Wanna be president? I mean she’s not technically eligible or qualified, but neither is Elon Musk…
February 6, 2025 at 12:43 AM
Warnock can be my pastor and my leader any day. He’s bringing it and I wish every US American was listening to him.

how on earth are these people claiming to be the “christian” side of the political divide?
Iowa governor - who is a Lutheran! - won't defend Lutherans from false attack by Elon Musk (background on controversy here: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/lutherans-...)

KRISHNAMOORTHI: You don't believe that Lutheran Family Services is a money laundering operation, correct?

REYNOLDS: *dissembles*

KRISHNAMOORTHI: Is the Lutheran church a money laundering operation? Of course not!

REYNOLDS: I can't speak to that

hey you all, my five year old called our senator to tell her to vote no on RFK. it took her 1 minute and a small amount of courage.
you can totally do it too. (202) 224-3121
January 30, 2025 at 5:00 PM
anyone, everyone: all hands on deck. call your senators and insist they vote no on RFK. his control of health and human services is an unparalleled threat to public health.

what is wrong with us…what happened to us…that as a nation, we can say to doctors in remote areas treating HIV or suffering children, “this money is mine and you can’t have it, even if you’re alleviating the suffering of children”
it’s unbearable, even from a distance.
