Lover of novels, learning curves, platypuses, blue-footed boobies, and yellow-rumped warblers. Oh, and feline gremlins. And pebbling. I will always say "cow!" when I see a cow and "lizard!" when I see a lizard. I wouldn't want you to miss it.

It’s clear that Trump and Elon think eliminating “waste, fraud, and abuse” really means taking away health care coverage from 630,000 North Carolinians to pay for $4 TRILLION in tax cuts for billionaires. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...
US House budget blueprint may gut NC’s Medicaid expansion and cost billions

I have to say that when I need a break from reading the news and deliberating how best to protest and resist the Cheeto Satan/Swasticar regime, I engage in some creative self-care - knitting, crocheting, & computer coding. I highly recommend learning a new skill that requires your entire attention.

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:

Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981

Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.

Trump’s entire family would be deported.
