Iā€™ve been working to get Schweikert out of Congress for years. He was corrupt since before corruption was a requirement in the Republican Party.

I was raised just north of Philadelphia, near where Washington crossed the Delaware. Our history and pride for the country is in my bones. This bullying terrorist-like behavior is heartbreaking. Iā€™ve seen nothing but anti American policies from this administration. Itā€™s disgusting.

Then you are indeed very fortunate! And when did tuning forks become obsolete? My grandmother had one.

Oh, you fortunate man!

1/ My parents certainly were complicated. And youā€™re right, we all are in our own ways. We all have private thoughts and experiences, maybe that adds to the complication that others feel about us. We are so fortunate to have parents that we miss.

My kid lives in Siddall Hall and sent me these yesterday. First is what was put up by the school, second is the studentsā€™ alteration of the administrationsā€™ cowardice.

Oh yes, unmoored is the right word. I always wish for seeing them in my dreams. Here I am, 67yrs old and still I wish for my parents. And oh yeahā€“ Donā€™t touch our Medicaid !

Iā€™m so sorry for the loss of your dad. I too lost my father, 4yrs ago, and my mother 2yrs after that. Without hospice care, I donā€™t know how or if weā€™d have gotten through it. The pain doesnā€™t lessen, but I have learned to live while carrying it. You will get through. ā™„ļø

Oooh, Bryn is such a big helper! And so many bird calls! What a wonderful thing youā€™ve done with your land. Good on you!

I did! Thank you!

Thank you for the link. Maybe I can hope too.

And youā€™re one of them!

I donā€™t know why trump voters think that his way of doing things, (chainsaw to a silk rug), wouldnā€™t touch them.
comment in response to post
Thank you, thatā€™s very kind. Actually, theyā€™re both doing well. I worry for them if benefits are cut, though.

So many people who are loved will suffer. My sister, a brain tumor survivor. My brother, a veteran in treatment for leukemia, just to name two.

Of course he did. DeJoy is heavily invested in a package delivery service already, it was a big deal when he was named to the post, but of course he was confirmed anyway.

Quakers are always on the right side of things.

Yep.

I use this too, itā€™s an excellent tool. šŸ’™

trump has always been a Russian asset. Heā€™s just loudly, blatantly, broadcasting it now.
comment in response to post
Sadly, I believe youā€™re right. Cruelty is always the point. And then they cheer at those who are hurt.

WTF is wrong with these people?
comment in response to post
The Supreme Court made themselves irrelevant with that stupid ruling ā€œfor the agesā€ and gave him immunity. Heā€™ll try to get rid of them too, heck what will we need them for?
comment in response to post
Musk could solve hunger and homelessness all by himself, and STILL have enough money to support his large family for generations. And itā€™s still not enough for him.
comment in response to post
Heck with history, Iā€™m judging them harshly right now.
comment in response to post
Ugh. This made my heart hurt.

ewww

Oh thatā€™s very sad. Still, you have to do whatā€™s best for yourself, and for that, Iā€™m happy that you took the step.
comment in response to post
I wasnā€™t either, so I just googled Indivisible in my area, the National Organization for Women, the local ACLU officeā€¦ Youā€™ll find what fits with you. It felt good to take steps, you know?
comment in response to post
Thank you!!
comment in response to post
Thank you for this tribute.
comment in response to post
I do hope that your sister well.
comment in response to post
We just have to work at this. At least call our Senators and Congressional Reps. I found my local Indivisible group. We have to do more than worry and be fearful. Iā€™m hoping to feel better if I take action, however small. Hang in there. šŸ’™

Ohmygosh our pets! You may be right about the lure of Big Pharma, greed is their big motivator. Along with self preservation. Best to keep the damn camps in his psycho-dreams.

My daughter is in recovery, clean for 8 1/2 yrs. She was only 17 when she got clean. Taking her from us to a work camp would have been disastrous. That is not how to address addiction. Plus Iā€™d be dead because theyā€™d do that over my dead body.

ā€˜Reparentingā€™ means stealing kids from their parents as far as I can tell. This is a nightmare.
