I finally deleted Twitter for good. I’m done with the things that stress me out that I still have control over, and deleting Twitter was one of them.

There's a line between feeling scared and being outraged and livid. I am standing on it. With a side of being so very angry and sad.

Spending 5 days in our daughter's place in the city while she's gone, so we'll be heading to our first proper protest on Tuesday! So much fun wandering the streets of San Francisco with my husband and Troy this morning. Relaxing now. Happy Sunday, y'all.

This map exposes the Greenland lie.
The US used to have a massive military footprint here.
Today, they operate just ONE base.
If Trump were actually worried about Russian vessels, he would simply open more bases, which Denmark allows

I am going to hop off social media for a bit. I can't stand being on this constant roller coaster of hope and despair. Not sleeping, and walking around with a pit in my stomach. I worry for my daughters' and their future. I am so sick and tired of feeling this way. Breathe!!!!!

I keep asking myself why other reporters don't stand up for their fellow colleagues! I'd get up and say enough is enough and leave. I wish all the journalists would just stop showing up to her "briefings." This constant abuse just makes me cringe.
LEAVITT: Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?
REPORTER: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably
LEAVITT: Oh, ok. So you're a biased reporters with a biased opinion. You're a left-wing hack.

I haven't down hill skied for 14 years, and even then I was a competent green slope skier, and somewhat capable of blue slope runs ;) Went on a perfect blue bird day yesterday with my husband, and really enjoyed myself. My body is a little sore today but not too bad, and nice to get away from news.
