Update from war ravaged Portland. On what might be the last 70 degree day of 2025, a beautiful full moon beamed over the city. No rockets, no bullets, no bombs, no fires. Just a moon!

Are we in America’s Civil War 2.0?
I’m not so sure we are not.
Military sent to cities that clearly are peaceful but advertised otherwise. ICE agents zip tying little kids. Radio silence from GOP. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Americans- WE are being held hostage by the first president in my lifetime who is clearly demented, has zero empathy for his fellow human beings and has two goals in mind- power and money. Why are we letting him get away with this?

She is hardly the only grandma worried about the health of her grans. RFK Jr throws out vaccine disinformation like a ball in a game. Health is not a political football🏈
Listen to your grandparents. Follow the AAP vaccination schedule. #VaccinesSaveLives

Letter: I worry about the health of my grandchildren and America’s children

From the letter: My older cousin Audrey was pregnant and was infected with measles. Her son Andy was born almost blind and had many disabilities.

Indeed! One crucial step in restoring sanity to our healthcare policies is the removal of RFK Jr. It will take a large and diverse effort, but it can be done! Please join scientists, doctors, and others to declare that they do NOT support this madman:
