I am a woman of a certain age still trying to get it right. I believe everyone should be free to be themselves. I create mandalas, like cats & Quiddler, chocolate & wine. No DM’s please. 😉

TODAY: Join @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social for their weekly discussion. Our leaders will answer your questions and talk about our strategy for fighting back against Trump’s billionaire-backed, Medicaid-slashing reconciliation plan. 👇

Does anyone see this?

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Ken was at the Harrisonburg chapter of NARFE today. They held an auction to raise funds for Alzheimer’s research! Ken is pictured with Ralph Hensley who has escorted Ken to some of the other events. Ken also ran into his good friend Lisa Boudreaux from Stuart’s Draft. #NARFE

Tonight was the VA CD06 Tiwn Hall in Edinburg, VA. It was well attended am with a lot of questions and criticisms for our Rep Ben Cline. I only got a few photos but others were recording and the footage will be shared with Cline #townhall #CD06

A group of friends in Bayse, Va. got together at a local restaurant on Wednesday to discuss issues important to them and listen to and ask questions of guest speaker, Ken Mitchell.

Peeps in VA CD06: Come join us for a Town Hall meeting for VA06 on Thursday. Be there and tell your friends. Let’s speak truth to power. #townhall #goodtrouble

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I’m just sayin’. St Augustine FL is a town of 14,000. In a red county. And we’re doing this. #handsoff #50501 #April5 AND we have some spicy signs!

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

From the Hands Off Protest in Shenandoah County, VA yesterday. There were well attended protests all over CD06! #handsoff #goodtrouble #VA06

From Winchester Hands Off protest yesterday. #handsoff #goodtrouble

Come see me in Woodstock VA now! #wanderwoodstock

PRO TIP: It's a titanically bad idea to put someone in charge that NEVER takes responsibility for anything. EXTRA bad idea if you pick a guy to improve your economy who went bankrupt SIX TIMES. Idiots.

To my peeps in CD06. Join us April 10th at 7 pm at the Charterhouse School in Edinburg, VA Share your voice. #townhall

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated. The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

We'll begin the day on the I-81 exit 283 overpass 11-1, then we'll take a break and meet up at 1:30 to march from north Woodstock (Ben's Diner / Sew 'n' Vac plaza) to Court Square. Join us for all or part of the day!

Please share. I created this mandala with symbols of integrity specifically for my Rep. Ben Cline. I wanted to make it easier for him to start to do right. But everyone in government needs integrity. Each mandala comes with an info card & you can add a note + shipping is free. #integrity

32 years ago today, at 12:32 PM, I gave birth to my son, Daniel Nicholas Russell. I’ll never forget the look of recognition he gave me right off the bat. It’s been a wonderful adventure parenting him and I can’t wait to see what lies ahead. Happy Birthday dear son! ❤️ Love Mom @hurmphry.bsky.social

One positive aspect of the price of eggs is that when you have egg in a hole for breakfast ( as I did yesterday.) It feels so fancy. Ooh la la! #priceofeggs

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Walz: "I think we have to assume the very worst in everything this administration does, and we need to prepare for it."

Yep

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

Ken attended a town hall tonight by Roanoke Indivisible and the Joint Residents Council. In the photo, Tim Kaine's Regional Director Elda Stanco Downey, Ken Mitchell and Debra Carter. #indivisable

Always a good day for hope. fengshuimandalas.com/attract-good... #hope #hopemandala #attractgoodenergy #theaudacityofhope 😉

Someone please explain this to me. I am not fully getting the joke. #help

This is often overlooked, but it’s important‼️ Cutting Medicaid isn’t just cruel—it hurts cancer research. Medicaid funds life-saving treatments and studies. Slashing it means fewer breakthroughs, fewer treatments, and more lives lost. Cancer won’t wait—neither should we. We Must Save Medicaid.
