STOP MiddleTown Property Group from evicting the elderly, disabled widow of a Vietnam Vet - Sign the Petition! chng.it/tpfwwZ8bmq via @Change
Small doctor waiting room…why do some people have long convos in a tiny room where literally everyone is forced to hear every word?
According to @pewresearch, my political group is Democratic Mainstays, which includes 16% of U.S. adults. Take the Political Typology Quiz to see where you fit. pewresearch.org/politics/qui…
Yes. And I am still grieving all that we've lost because of hate. 400+ years of it and we still can't get out from under it.
Have the majority of my fellow wht folks lost all humanity? Did they ever have any?
This election result isn't about Dem messaging.
Their messaging during the campaign was about helping the middle class, continuing with sound economic policies, affordable healthcare and education, the rights of women, strengthening the border, unity.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz formed a balanced ticket filled with character, intellect, and genuine love for this country, and they eloquently delivered their vision better beautifully.
This election result is about racism, misogyny, lack of education—and an irresponsible media that caters to those realities.
There is no messaging that can overcome prejudice and ignorance, and those two factors are the only explanation for Trump even being the nominee and getting 75 million votes.
We need to stop pretending there is some perfect Democratic candidate or magic messaging to reach people who have abandoned objective reality and chosen to embrace their fears and phobias, while failing to do the slightest bit of work to know what candidates' policies and plans are.
The Dems didn't fail America, they just exist in a nation where far too many people don't pay attention or care to understand what's actually happening. Maybe they will now.
The headline left out this part:
Shklyarov condemned Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in a now-deleted Instagram post from March 2022, declaring his opposition to “all kinds of military actions.”

Blocking, blocking, blocking! I just keep on blocking those ter.fs and all of their hateful rhetoric.
I stand with the Ts in LGBTQ.
F bigots.
My pcp is concerned that my lung damage is worsening. I'm exhausted all the time. The pulmonologist I really liked had the nerve to move up north 😭😭 so I will have to find someone new.
But my pcp said for now to incorporate as many small changes as I can to help.
So...
So...today I learned that a woman I used to admire is a TERF. Imagine voting for the downfall of the United States b/c you're afraid of trans women in sports when trans folks are such a teeny % of our population.
In fairness, I need to amend this b/c while she is a TERF, she responded to me that she did vote for every Dem on the ticket. I don't want to falsely label her pro-Trump.
I still strongly disagree with her on trans issues, however.

It’s easy for one to say we don’t need Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) when white people in this country had a 400-year head start by enslaving, raping, stealing land, and setting up a system where white people got ahead.
The system still exists today. No one has the power to stop white people from doing anything due to skin color.
The felon has convinced a large portion of white people the system is actually against them.
Equality feels like oppression when you are accustomed to privilege.

I may or may not have dreamt I dog-sat for @michelle_byoung when she & her family were on vacation. She lived in a 5 story home w/an elevator & every level had a beautiful terrace - even the basement. And the wildlife visited like I was a Disney princess.
Did I stay up until the wee hours watching #CrossOnPrime last night and then finish it today?
Yes, yes I did. Lots of good actors, stylishly directed, twisty story lines. It's solid and I hope it returns for another season.
