HEAR ME PLEASE:
When people are hateful, they are afraid. When you're kind to someone who's afraid, you disarm their fear & they will meet you with respect. I know this from experience. If you meet fear with aggression, you get fear/aggression & hate.

I was stunned to see several hummingbirds this morning ♥️

Hummingbirds may be tiny, but they’re incredibly strong with a high level of endurance. This makes them symbols of strength and adaptability.

Hummingbirds also can signify a visit from a departed loved one & the beginning of a new era.

Seeing a bunch can mean there are very few food sources available to them at this time of year. But, I agree, they often feel like they are messengers from the departed (or if you believe, guardian angels)

The Republican shutdown puts politics over people, including veterans. Our National Organizer Tristeza Ordex and Sen. Ruben Gallego, both Marine veterans and first-generation citizens, discuss the real-world consequences and the fight ahead for #Arizona and all Americans.

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

One of the first MAD Magazines I ever bought.
Found it in a used book store in the D.C. area today.
Funny then - Funny and sad now.

Use your anger for something positive-I say this because from my experience anger is detrimental to your health & as Medger Evers told Myrlie (his wife) anger only hurts you because the people who you're angry with don't know & if they did they wouldn't care

Yes, I'm a bit younger but me too

It seems that they use hands because veins are more pronounced. Sometimes as we age, arm veins are hard to find. Also if you've ever had an IV & medical staff foolishly put Auto-BP cuff on that arm, it hurts like the dickens.

Yes. I love that book. Pilcher is a comfort.

P.S. It has to be our voices & our wallets because We are One Nation, Indivisible

Cara NicAine @caranicaine.bsky.social · 1d

We still have power - our voices, our wallets & the goodness in our hearts.

Believe it or not hate destroys itself: eating away at cellular level. When things feel hopeless remember times when you smiled at a stranger or said a kind word. You may not ever know it but you may have saved a life

Think of you, Angry & all our heros on the "front lines" in DC especially enduring the crap. They really are like the Keystone cops except it's not Hollywood & real people are getting hurt.

Thank you for your determination, courage & perseverance. Best to all the Angry family.

Yes
Novel I read set pre-WWII & after. Young woman talking to her attorney said she had doubts they'd win when England was doing badly. He said "Never doubt that we will win". I'm saying that to everyone. If you have to turn off news, do. We will prevail over the lawless traitors to their oaths!

Federal judge can do it (that's what they did during one of the previous felon shutdowns)
