Funny but also not funny…

I’ll never understand how so many Americans fell for the #LiarThiefAndConman

(Is it just straight racism? Is that it? And misogyny? To vote against their own selves and interests and families?)

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

They’re all fake Christians and don’t believe in heaven

The only things they believe in are money and vindictive spitefulness

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

My name is Theo and I’m 7
My human died recently. We were best friends.
I liked to be with him all day, sleeping on the back of his chair and looking out the window
I’m on the shy side
I’m healthy, fully vaccinated, neutered and chipped
