New Seeds of Kindness: Lifting Each Other Up 🌱
The power of seeing each other. A kind word. A gesture of support. Letting someone know they matter.
When we lift others, we rise too.
Who needs to be seen today? We grow best when we grow together.

Pledge not to shop at Home Depot, Target, & Amazon from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday! This weekend, perhaps the busiest shopping period of the year, don't support three corporations complicit in Trump’s authoritarian power-grab. Show cowardly corporate leaders we are fighting back!

No, you’re a brilliant nurse. More of you please! And thank you.❤️
🏥🚨🏥 Healthcare workers: Patient’s rights are being violated. A lot of people are adverse to standing up to “authority,” but we have codes of ethics - each of our professions do. Rise up! 1/2

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.
Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

Whoo hoo! Some Good trouble!
This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Pay attention
“As I have said before, he was no mere casual acquaintance of Jeffrey Epstein but a decades-long partner in a multinational sex-trafficking and money laundering operation.”

Pay attention
Absolutely! But will they?
New rule: if you’re a Supreme Court Justice and you’re mentioned in the Epstein files, you have to recuse from any future lawsuit about the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Nurses save lives every single day, and now the Dept. of Education wants to make their degrees harder to afford. In the middle of a national shortage. It makes ZERO sense.
I work beside these heroes. I see what they give. And I’m not staying quiet while Washington makes their path even harder.

Trump is fucking Ukraine. I’m ashamed to be represented by this regime. People fighting for their lives and country and this government sides with the aggressor. Sad.

The hypocrisy. Always stunning.
After Charlie Kirk’s death, Donald Trump condemned “political violence.” So what—exactly—is calling for the murder of members of Congress who don’t share his politics?

If joking about Charlie Kirk is considered “violent rhetoric,” how do we describe open calls to hang members of Congress?

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

Why can’t everyone just say what’s exactly happening here. He’s insane. He needs to be removed or impeached. How we are allowing this lunatic to be the head of our country is our own lunacy.🥸
Um. Did he forget what happened? The dementia is really, really bad.

EVERY day my daughters & I wake up in a nation where a serial rapist of children & women has been elected President twice.
Over the weekend, he said to a female reporter “Quiet. Quiet Piggy.” b/c she was … doing her job.
His misogyny is without bounds.
Support of him is misogyny without bounds.
