In this fragile time, we all want to be treated gently. Even music can sound harsh to me when I'm stressed out. But I've found the solution! A playlist called "Holiday Bedtime." Every Christmas song is an instrumental lullaby with little gentle bells. :) #Soothing #UnstressedChristmas

He fears and despises women. He calls them “stupid“ and “piggy” and “nasty” because that’s the best comeback a limited intelligence can summon. And they have to say, “Thank you, Mr. President. “

A third of Americans now revere what the Constitution tells them to mistrust and despise. The pResident no longer pretends to be anything but what he is: openly racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, violent, aggrieved, and unrepentant. The mask is off, and STILL some see perfection. #FaceReality

Remember the old folk tales about the devil and people who sold their souls? The devil always managed to trick them and make their "reward" a misery because, well, he was the devil. That's my worry about #TheEpsteinList. That somehow those grifter devils will manage to pull the rug out once again.

Oh, dear Hamlet, something is truly rotten in the State of Denmark, and Sweden, and Poland. But these days the enemy sends spy drones to threaten the populace.
All because yet another insane man-child has dreams of world domination. And of course OUR man-child has given him free rein for a decade.

We have to pass tests in order to be doctors, lawyers, teachers, accountants, to assess our ability to do the job. We have to take a test to get a driver's license or determine placement in school. But the assessment of the president's competence is nonexistent. Why?

Yes, good vs bad is eternal. But when the bad is preventable and leaders do nothing--ask questions. WHY won't POTUS do more to protect children? WHY discriminate against all minority groups? HOW can so many powerful bodies

We have been lied to many times by many people. It's as though we've come to expect lies rather than truth.
Outside of the endless river of political deception, today's most egregious falsehood: "Your call is important to us."

If we hear “thoughts and prayers” and “ guns aren’t the problem” rhetoric, and if they go on to say that this is a mental health issue, then know this:
1. Trump cut mental health services significantly.
2. This administration does not care about America’s children
