This is our first Christmas without my Mom. She passed away in April of this year.
She loved Christmas. She especially loved the lights and decorations.
We put up our tree in her honor but it's been really hard to get in the Christmas spirit this year.
We miss you Mom. Love U.
Merry Christmas 🎄🕯️❤️

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump has sued over jokes, tweets, interviews, and news articles but not once over any of the countless accusations of child rape. — That silence says everything.

when you read this it is very clear that Wiles thinks she is flexing the administration's muscle. relatedly, it is also very clear that the White House is completely delusional about its standing with the public. they are high on their own supply.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

What is seditious behavior? "Conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch." What an irony that Trump thinks this should be punished with death, since that's exactly what he was found guilty of for "incitement of insurrection" in his second impeachment.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.
