🗣️ Pass it on.
A day without immigrants. Feb. 3, 2025. No school. No work. No shopping. Let’s raise our voices for our rights and our families. We are essential. We are strong. We are community.

Resistance takes hope AND action! Let’s go!

If you can’t get to your statehouse , get to your city hall or county government center !

If you can’t do that, spread the word and wear blue on 2/5. 💙
Picture shows thousands of people on a street marching between high-rise buildings. Text reads, “ 50 states, 50 capitals, 50 marches. If you cannot get there, call out from work. If you can’t call out, wear something blue. Everyone needs to post individually about it. They can’t suppress everyone flooding the system with the same message. One voice.” Picture of the Statue of Liberty. Text reads, “ 50 protests, 50 states, One Day. Starts at noon on February 5, 2025. Your state capital building. We the people reject Project 2025.” American flag in the background with text over the top reading, “May we choose justice over retribution. May we seek equality over greed. May we speak in truth over what is false. Let us recognize. Love is stronger than hate. When we meet hate, let us find courage. we meet each other, let us find tolerance. 50 states, 50 protests, 1 day. On Feb. 5, 2025 we will be peacefully protesting at all of our 50 state capitals. We demand representation for: Freedom of speech Election integrity Racial equality Women’s rights LGBTQ+ Public health and safety Gun violence Climate change Wealth equality

At my grandson’s very first Little League game! ⚾️❤️ Baseball’s back, baby!

Today’s project to display some of my Padres stuff that has been languishing in a Trader Joe’s bag in the corner of my bedroom. I love it!
Shelves with various Padres bobbleheads, collectible pins, and artwork along with a Padres banner displaying the Padres logos throughout the history of the franchise.

Nothing like dropping $1,800 at the vet unexpectedly on a lovely #Caturday morning during Christmas shopping season! 😬😿

My team is the Padres 💛🤎. This is Honey (so named because she is so sweet). She adores crumpled up paper but is indifferent to baseball.
