Less politics, more dancing. This is how I stay sane in this world.

Women weren’t “given” the right to vote. They fought for it-broke rules, suffered consequences, did it again. They didn’t go quietly. This moment deserves rule breaking & standing with our friends when they are censured. This moment deserves rolling up our sleeves & throwing decorum out the window.

As we wake up this morning, one guy is golfing in Mar A Lago, another guy is on vacation skiing in VT, and then the only guy who is working to defend Ukraine, America, Democracy, and freedom is today meeting with European leaders before going back to a war zone. Zelenskyy is a hero.

President Zelenskyy is the kind of leader we would be lucky to have in our country. He truly cares about the people of Ukraine, fighting beside them instead of hiding in a bunker. A brave and good man. I am deeply ashamed of US pres. and vice pres. They do not represent the people of the USA. 🇺🇦❤️

DEI isn’t saying to white people you won’t get the job at the Air Force because you are white. It’s saying to black kids who grew up in a tough environment, if you don’t think you can fly a jet for the Air Force , guess what you can!

So much I want to say about the bullshittery of the Fascist Republican administration and what they are trying to do. Trying to focus on my actual life and purpose, but also do what I can in this horrific moment. Balance.

Canada and Mexico have always been good neighbors. Most recently, they came to aid CA, even after 47 started his bullshit. The Republican administration should be treating them like the BFFs they are, not starting trade wars & being assholes. The majority of people in USA love our neighbors.

Dude. I'm Pissed.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Greed and corruption we are seeing has always been there in the shadows. It’s in the open now. Time for change, healing, action to move toward the ideal the country was founded on… only better. 1/3

Feeling existential dread about coming inauguration. Mind boggling what our country might turn into. Looking for hope.

What's happening today isn't a philosophical debate over whether democracy or autocracy is preferable.
It's a smash-and-grab by the super-rich, who are bankrolling a torrent of lies to pave the way for widespread financial exploitation.
It's organized crime, not politics.

My wish for the world: we all learn that happiness and prosperity comes from unity, relationships, helping and celebrating together. There is no happiness in power over others and accumulating more wealth than you can ever spend. There is no joy in power and wealth for its own sake.

I don’t have the words for the level of disgust I feel for those who are lying about the CA fires and insulting the leaders who are doing their jobs.

My heart goes out to all those in CA who are affected, those fighting the fires, and those trying to manage the situation and trying to help.
