I admit, I don't know much at all about her. I just know that Trump is a nut bag.

Hey, that's me!

So grateful to be included at the opening of Upper Room Missions 24-bed winter shelter, just in time for the change in weather.

45 years of service to our community caring for those most critically in need, with dignity and respect.

Because, there but for the grace of God go I.

Congratulations to the Upper Room Mission on the opening of the 24-bed winter shelter space!

This means 10,000 safe nights of sleep each year for those in our community who need it most.

My heart is full seeing the kindness and generosity in our community 🧡

Upper Room Mission's large, bright dormitory-style shelter room with rows of neatly made single beds featuring grey sheets, folded light blue blankets, and small beige pillows. The walls are light grey with a green accent wall at the far end, and natural light pours in through several windows. The clean, orderly space feels calm and welcoming, suggesting readiness to provide safe rest for many people.

Behind her, a presentation screen displays the words “Upper Room Mission – A Place of Belonging & Hope” alongside an image of a man being helped up. The setting is warm and welcoming, with green walls, a bookshelf filled with puzzles and games, and a potted plant adding a homey touch.

Vernon Mayor Victor Cumming stands in a doorway smiling and holding large ceremonial scissors, having just cut a red ribbon tied across the doorframe. The scene captures the moment of a ribbon-cutting ceremony, symbolizing the official opening the 24-bed winter shelter.

Tara said "I'll bring it to you." to Rohini. Whatever tf that means. Tara was being very combative and aggressive. She's an embarrassment.

So sad that they will say one thing and do the opposite. They have no morals or integrity. My boss always says to watch their actions, not their words, because they are always contradicting themselves, it's true.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

The land of the free isn’t a promise, it’s a privilege, rationed out by skin tone, zip code, and bank balance.

The flag waves for some while the rest are told to salute quietly and be grateful.

If freedom isn’t for everyone, it isn’t freedom at all.

Ick. That's such a gross way to think. I
Another part of it is them just telling their base whatever they want to hear.

I want us all to be healthy, happy, and well educated. It makes life better for everyone, and more interesting, when we are not struggling to survive.
I want us to thrive.

🎶 🎵 I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love 🎵 🎶

Titles don’t make leaders; integrity does.
Leadership isn’t about power, it’s about care.
Those we trust to lead should see our wellbeing as their sacred duty, because it is.

A minimalist white image with bold black text that reads: “Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.” — Simon Sinek.

They were their private phones. Those who were reluctant to turn them over were threatened with expulsion from the party. I don't know why the media is not all over this.

“I don’t watch the news”
“I don’t follow politics”
"It's too depressing"

Cool, cool. But politics follows you, into your rent, healthcare, rights, your future.

Opting out doesn’t make you neutral. It just makes you uninformed in a world run by those who aren’t.
Fascism rises when people look away.

I really don't know what else to say to make people understand that he is mirroring Hitler's rise to power like it's a fucking checklist.
