I'm a NW Queer woman experiencing life at 66 but ready to fight for the future we all deserve. We should have a society without homelessness and without hunger where people can realize their potential for art and science and caregiveing. 💙🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇨🇦🇺🇲🌎🏔🔥🦄💙💙

2,900 pages. Pages of texts from young republicans using the most heinous language and desire to grape women, bully people of color, watch people burn and go into gas chambers. This is pure hatred. It is TAUGHT. I’ve never been more repulsed than I have in 2025.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

It's time we put quotes around the word "agent" because these people are violent thugs, assaulting and kidnapping people. They are not trained officers.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.

I sincerely do not think trump has the brain to be telling them to not negotiate. It’s someone else behind the scenes and Yall MUST talk about it this way. Trump is certainly not calling the shots, it’s Stephen “ 4’10 “ Miller, Peter “thirsty for child’s blood” Thiel or some other weirdo

Question:
If we can give $20 billion to Argentina, refit a jet that is a personal gift to trump, pay for all of his golf vacations, allow the house Republicans to get paid with full benefits & not work, then why the heck to we need to compromise?
The only vote should be for Universal Health Care.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Green Frogs & Other Inflatables UNITE

A quote from John Lennon that says “ when it gets down to having to use then you are playing the system’s game The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you the only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.
