The owner and operator of both accounts, however, is not only a man who has by his own admission never stepped foot in the United States, but has donated over $3,000 in an American election. Donating to American political campaigns as a foreign national is a federal crime, according to the FEC.

October is #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth 💜 — a time to shine a light on the work we must do to protect survivors.

I was proud to joint author of HB 2492, a bill that strengthens protections for survivors of family violence by requiring a short “cooling off” period after an offender posts bond.

They love the poorly educated.

"...Linda McMahon has been clear about her desire to shut down the agency... She’s laid off half the staff and joked about padlocking the door.

She calls it “the final mission.”

But the department is not behaving like an agency that is simply winding down."

Survivors of abuse often have a deep need to be understood. We've spent so much time with people who've made snap judgements and don't get us. It stings.

Some people aren't going to understand no matter what. That's okay. Let them.

We've gotten to the point that we are hurting our religious leaders for praying, and zip tying children for existing.

Also, macing a frog for dancing.

It's not going to get better from here before it gets better, but I believe it will eventually get better.

Somehow.

Good morning, friends! Yeah, I’m a hippie. I believe that music is important and tells the story of our generation. We protested for peace, the end of war and love. 50+ yrs later we are still protesting for our rights and peace. Please don’t give up!
