Love wildlife, nature, Pro-Democracy, Yes to Diversity & Inclusion, Pro-Democracy lovers-we got this!, my family, my dogs, I grieve the rights grip on our freedom, and support the federal workforce....Our failure to imagine will be at our peril!

They need people for ICE, right? Will they have to body fat test?

I was there. They are racists and bullies seeded throughout our government; from local to state officials. A wrecking ball to America. The East wing is a perfect metaphor.

They won’t because they are as equally self serving as he is! It doesn’t matter that they’ll be attacked or angry. They (Suzie Wiles, Jason Miller) hate him. But, they are psychopaths like him. This is a game of whackamo where we are manipulated. @bandylee.bsky.social

Thank you! I’m constantly told “Chill”. I’ve found my voice to that- NO. On one hand it’s a shame that we have to remind ppl. But, your reminder is why I don’t CHILL. Since 2016- the foreboding I felt.

“Trump’s public life reads like…textbook case of grandiose narcissism reinforced by power. Praise operates as oxygen; contradiction as suffocation…relationships are mirrors, not bridges. When admiration wanes, he must create new spectacle…to reflect himself again.”

Suicide is a boomerang...People who’ve never experienced it should know. The range of the living who experience the trauma is unknowable.

WITH THE LOSS OF MY
NEPHEW,
I worry about his siblings, cousins, younger generation. Having that heartbreak inside them. That bad spirit of suicide in the air.
Remember time passes for us here. Life Changes and lessons are learned. Know that you are loved here and now.
You can overcome these dark times and these dark thoughts. I am older now, I've had to face death like these as a kid, and with the same thoughts as a teenager. I made it out.
Now, I love more than I used to hate.
Love yourself more than the self-hatred. Love one another more than having hate control you. You are free here like your ancestors before you - use it for all that it is worth!

Trump is responsible for the soybean and beef farmer chaos we are watching unfold right now. Now, he wants to buy beef from Argentina, hanging our farmers out to dry. Until the GOP breaks from him on his mission of economic arson, they're #ArgentinaFirst

This is really spot on. It should be a gut punch for anyone who reads it. The Republican party is entirely complicit in supporting child abuse and rape of children. ENTIRELY!
