Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

For as much as this country hates vaccines, we still require them at entry and so do almost all other countries. Public health is a part of the WORLDWIDE infrastructure and it is a matter of time before our health infrastructure is dismantled & other countries seal us off to safeguard their citizens

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

MEDICAID IN DANGER Republicans, who narrowly control Congress, are pushing proposals that could sharply cut funding to the government health insurance program for poor and disabled Americans, as a way to finance President Donald Trump’s agenda for tax cuts and border security.

MUST WATCH: Glenn Grothman is either lying or too dumb to do his job. Elon Musk definitely called disabled and struggling people “parasites.” A woman is in his face BEGGING him to wake up and he just walks off. If you’re this clueless, you don’t deserve your job.

I saw someone say that choosing to be kind, positive, or altruistic makes someone either stupid or that they never experienced pain... I have to disagree with that. You have no idea how much bitterness it took for me to become sweet. I just chose not to become the pain I was inflicted with.

The need for intimacy is soooo real right now. No sex. Just…emotions. I want to love, I want to care. I want quiet where we talk about everything and nothing. Where we just sit in each other’s presence. Where touching is more in familiarizing. I want this. I need this.

Why haven't I been tasked with spending the night in a haunted house even ONCE in my adult life. The movies I watched growing up seemed to suggest this would be more of a thing. I wouldn't even have to be offered an inheritance or large sum of money from an eccentric millionaire to do it

Take a moment to be still where you are and take a few deep breaths. "I am present." "I am safe." "I am still." You are still. Still here, still living, still persisting. Still loved and still protected. Still full of potential. Still full of opportunity. I'm glad you are still here.

I think the sanitation of the word n*gga w things like “🥷🏾” and “YN” have made younger non-black people less afraid of using it casually And I don’t know what that means for the future but the floodgates are currently wide open on black culture and nothing is seemingly stopping it

Your inner critic might try to shame you for grieving. "You're weak." "You should be over this." "This wasn't that big a deal." Grieving is NORMAL & HEALTHY. Even if it takes longer-- maybe a LOT longer-- than we think it "should." Protect your grief from your inner critic.

“How can Trump and the Republicans tax poor people?” Like this. If you make less than $360,000 per year, your taxes are going UP if that bill passes in March The 200-pt GOP tax and budget plan was released back in January with its final touches to include MASSIVE reforms on tax exemptions as well.
