The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.”

But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children.

If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.

So, it’s REALLY EASY to not buy a Tesla. But here’s the thing-where do you get all the day to day stuff you would normally pick up at Target or buy from Amazon? Costco diapers cause rashes and when all the babies and yourself are sick, where do buy the stuff you can’t pick up at the grocery store?

I have been in many, many, public restrooms, and not once has a transgender woman bothered me. And because I am not a judgemental pervert, I have never noticed whether there even was someone transgender there.

Does anyone remember Trump giving a speech to an evangelical crowd (“I love my evangelicals!”) and saying “vote, get out and vote, you won’t have to vote again”. You won’t have to vote again. Those words have always stuck with me.

My thoughts from yesterday:

Democratic lawmakers: For the love of god get angry, yell, slam your fist on the table. Do what it takes to make them answer the question or to break through the BS. Stop being nice, composed, and reserved.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Making things is a great way to dissociate. I made a matching diaper kit, bib, and burp cloth. My goal is to make enough stuff to sell at handmade markets and cover half of the amount I spend on fabric. lol. #sewing
