I’m going to show up in the halls of Congress & show up at the White House to push the President to use his power & provide *strong* student debt relief for Georgians.
These GOP politicians aren’t pro-life. They’re pro-forced birth. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Our true nature can always be found. When we look past the chronic chatter and dissatisfaction in our minds, it is always there. At our core, we all unconditionally love ourselves and the world without reservation.
