So, China is buying soy beans from Argentina instead of America but we are giving Argentina billions of dollars? Also, Argentinians have free healthcare but Americans do not and our government is now shut down because it doesn’t have enough money to give Americans even a discount on healthcare?

The skill of grounding in trauma work is more than just checking off senses. It's about staying w/ our traumatized nervous system & inner child as we seek out actual, real time data about our internal & external safety in this moment. It's about having our own back here & now.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Wanna stop getting calls and texts from me about Prop 50? Send your ballot in today. That removes you from the contact lists, and helps phone bankers use their time more effectively :)

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

All because on Friday Trump threatened 100% tariffs on China, then over the weekend he switched it up with, “Don’t worry about China, it’ll all be fine.”

Not market manipulation, though. Right?

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
