It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

While the circus grabs headlines, Senate Republicans are scheming to spike student loan bills by nearly $3,000 a year—forcing more people into default.

All to bankroll billionaire tax breaks. It’s cruel, calculated, and happening right now. #DontKillOurMedicaid

🎧 Listen to Christopher's Mom

For her 19 yr old son, Medicaid is the difference between independence & dependence, a life of possibilities & one of undue barriers.

I finally got my Penzey's "Resist: Keep America Alive" spice box. I love the spirit of this company & their products are excellent. If you don't live near a store (Falls Church in NOVA), all their products are available online. This makes my soul happy 😊 ❤️.
