There is nothing that beats Keanu Reeves circa early 2000s. Scratch that, that still applies. He still reigns supreme. Giggling and kicking my feet kinda man. Keanu, the man that you are. #keanureeves

Evil cannot conquer forever! In the end, it was not the might of men or elves that unmade the power of the Ring: it was the hobbits, in their unassuming frailty, who brought about the downfall of Sauron. Though we may feel small, remember Frodo and take heart; never resign yourself to despair.

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people.

It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies.

In that sense, the system is working very well.

But it is not working for the average American.

We need Medicare for All.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.
President Trump’s order freezing trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans sent officials at schools, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and many others into a frantic scramble to understand the extent of the directive. Here's what to know.
Order to pause federal spending creates deep uncertainty for schools, nonprofits and companies.

you’re laughing? the Dark Lord Sauron just poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life into the One Ring and you’re laughing

Rewatching Lord of the Rings this year feels different.
3 rings for the Elves
7 rings for the dwarf-lords
9 rings to the race of men… who above all else, desire power… they were all of them DECEIVED.
One by one, free lands fell to the power of the one ring; but there were some who RESISTED.

President Trump's flurry of executive orders "pay lip service to free speech," says PEN America in a new statement. "In reality they frame a frontal assault against it"—and could "cast a broad chill on free expression well beyond the halls of government." pen.org/press-releas...

Today, Pres. Trump gave a sweeping legal reprieve to nearly 1,600 defendants who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, including those convicted of violent crimes & seditious conspiracy.

More than 150 police officers were assaulted during that attack. Some eventually died.

Today we honor a great man. By educating myself, by reading about his legacy, but not sitting by, by calling out injustice and using my privilege for the the betterment of all.
Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day! #mlkday
