![pamela handrick - Five years ago I lost my husband David. I miss him every day... especially when I think about the cheese fries he ate on the way home and never told me about. [pic of husband at younger age]

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

"Everything to come is uncertain. So embrace that. Expect it"
Everything to come is uncertain. So embrace that. Expect it. Focus on what is in the here-and-now. Don’t let your best moments and energy fritter away in concern for something you know you have limited control over anyway.

Thank you, Cheryl for your fierce advocacy for vaccines and devotion to intelligent thorough healthcare 🇨🇦
If you are anti vaccine, do not come on my posts and spout bullshit, I have no fucks to give to those who don't care about healthcare and saving lives.
The fact that millions of children are alive today because of vaccines, just fuck right off out of my timeline.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

"We desperately need maturity in leadership"
Agreed, and the maturity would manifest in the awareness that empathy, kindness and grace are not a sign of weakness but an integral part of being an evolved human capable of compassion when considering and responding to the needs of constituents

"This is who the republican party has always been"
If I may add one brief note, it seems that the GOP is, and has long been, driven by racial animus: the hatred of non white non christian folks appears to be the fuel that animates and sustains the party and it's longer required to suppress it

This is who the republican party has always been. At it's root, this what conservative ideology has been about. No taxes, and deregulation, just not for you or I.

happy bday to one of my faves Austrian writer Rainer Maria Rilke, b.1875.
"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves".
"Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer"

the pathology is deep and wide in 'Murica
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

"We're not at war. It's not a 'war crime' its murder"
Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.
We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.
