Fled Missouri for Illinois, 3 Chihuahuas (I know), activism is my jam. #INDIVISIBLE #Meidasmighty. Autism isn't something to be "cured", human rights are worth fighting for and I use every tool I have to do so EVERY DAY! And camping 🏕️

I'm coming off a LONG and severe POTS flareup. On days my brain is functioning, I've been writing. I'm sharing my stories knowing that there are so many in the same boat.

All of this is so unique, we have to learn how to get by together.

The priorities of this administration are clear.

The reason this regime isn't addressing the bad economy is because ruining it was intentional. We're easier to control when we're broke, sick and hungry.

P2025 is pretty clear and prosperity isn't even a goal.

We MUST ban together, hopefully the MAGA are coming to their senses.

We can do this!

Haha!! That's AWESOME💙

Jackie💙 @jackietastic.bsky.social · 5d

How cool!!!! That's a celebrity sighting I'd be pretty excited about 💙

Jackie💙 @jackietastic.bsky.social · 5d

Look at all these dangerous radicals! 💙💙💙

There is so much love in my heart after a protest. All these people coming together with care and concern and pure intentions gives me hope!

THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!!!

I LOVE that this is international!

This is insane behavior. It's illegal, inhumane, thoughtless and clearly something that Hegseth begged Trump to let him do. America just kills suspects now with no due process. You'd think every journalist would be SCREAMING about it.

Civil lawsuits! I've been wondering why I haven't been seeing tons of stories about civil lawsuits against ICE. I hope everyone who's been manhandled by these reprobates to file lawsuits. It's our only way to hold them accountable right now.

Jackie💙 @jackietastic.bsky.social · 6d

Oh no! Those poor folks are getting it every which way! Does anyone happen to know how to send a donation to help those affected?

Didn't we fear Islamics because we were told they want to force us into their religion? We were told they were coming here to force our women into burkas. Wouldn't that have been a form of what they're doing now with White Christian Nationalism?

Irony or hypocrisy?

This dude thinks that being president makes everything his. I just can't get over being enraged that voters would do this. I'm trying. Hate never cured anything.

Come to the states, get killed in drive by shooting. Why is tourism down again?

So Trump demands an artifact from another Presidential library so he can give it away. Director says no, he'll find a replica. Loses his job immediately.

Cold showers? Haven't tried that. I've been having some success with meditation again lately, but that's a skill to develop. It's harder than it looks! Exercise and water is so important no matter what. My kids tease me. "Broken arm? You need more water and exercise!" I preach too much apparently. 😁

Yet another thing pointing to us having made the right choice fleeing rural MO! I have zero guilt anymore. I used to feel terrible guilt for leaving the minors and disabled alone in that family. I have one sister in PA who survived the Rush Limbaugh house intact so I'm not completely without family.
