Today is my 67th birthday. I feel I am more authentically me at this time in my life than ever before. I’ve been a mom and now I’m a Grammy. I’m sister, I’m a friend. But I know who I am and what I believe in. I believe in democracy. I believe in our country. So I stand against Trump. Simple.

@maddow.msnbc.com Republican stronghold Tyler, TX is shifting. This week after the county entered into a partnership with ICE to target Hispanic citizens, people protested and fought back, speaking at the Co. Commissioners meeting against arresting longtime friends and coworkers. Change is coming.

@maddow.msnbc.com restaurants across my small town here in Texas are responding to the upcoming food crisis in this way. While I’m happy to see them stepping up, it’s sad that we have to do this to keep food in front of our children. And I blame Trump.

Earlier today, I was told that our protesting was fear mongering! All I could do is look at them and say well, if an inflatable T. Rex is something you fear, well then you got me.

The inflatables were in full force tonight in Tyler, Texas!!! This blood red is Texas city turned out more than 2000 people to fight for democracy. And the cheers and honks in support were deafening. Abbott/Trump know Texas is turning and they’re scared.

Retired teacher, my side gig is FM Fragrances/Skincare. We twin the world‘s most iconic fragrances for far less than department store prices. This is to pay for plane tickets to Canada - my daughter, SIL, and grandson are moving there for safety. Appreciate your support, respond here for a list. 💕

I love Core Power chocolate protein drink. It’s like chocolate milk. I drink half before I go for my run, and then drink the other half when I get back. I can’t run on a full stomach and I go first thing in the morning, so this takes the place of breakfast until I get home. It’s delicious.

How much more does America need to wake up and realize that we are no longer in a free country? Democracy is over. When they start resting and locking up Congress, you might as well turn the lights out. OR FIGHT BACK!

One thing I have noticed in the last couple of weeks is that anxiety is causing my sleep to be very disruptive. It’s understandable, we are in horrible and incredibly frightening times with a madman at the helm. But we have to take care of ourselves. So this morning, protein pancakes for the win.

Does he never look up? I’m sorry, but what would that be right on the very top of the White House? An idiot.
