Just a California liberal who loves dogs, music and art. I will not go down quietly to an authoritarian dictatorship so I am here to talk, meet and congregate with those who feel the same. Adding me to a list will just get you blocked. ✌️ She/Her Boss/Bish

Thank you!!! Why can’t people understand this? We all have skills. We can all do something. The youngest of us and the oldest of us. It will take all of us. All colors, shapes, sizes, ethnicities, races, creeds and religious beliefs. All. Of. Us!

It will never be ok. Bullies will always be bullies until someone stands up to them. We are that someone.

Every damn day parents of disabled children have to watch this man attack our kids for existing. No provocation, no reason—just hate. He mocks what he’ll never understand and weaponizes their existence for power. We’re past outrage. This is cruelty, and we’re not staying quiet. #Pinks

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

A huge loss. A great talent and from what I hear an amazing human. Rest in power, Ms. Keaton.

This is going to continue to get worst until Chicago PD or Chicago Sheriff or National Guard step in to protect the citizens of Chicago. @govpritzker.illinois.gov ask your AG to check the statutes and laws they can use to do this. Go back as far as you need to to make it happen.

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating.

Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!

One portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide (CO) as hundreds of cars. If you own a generator and are getting it ready for the nor’easter this weekend, check and make sure your CO alarms are working too. CO is a deadly gas you can’t see or smell and it can kill in minutes.

One portable generator with an equal sign next to a lot of cars. The text reads: one portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide as hundreds of mid-size cars. Only use your generator outdoors and 20 feet away from your home.

It includes a whole lot of things I wouldn’t want my child to know about at a certain age. I do think some books could be in a separate area so it’s not readily available to certain ages and I get how it could be worrisome to some parents but they tried to over correct IMHO.
