#HealingHearts

Going through healing from trauma or abuse doesn't feel good. It's not pleasant. Confusion, doubt, even fear are among the many feelings.

Why do it? You deserve a life free from the fallout of trauma. You deserve to be free. Keep going.

If the Biden admin had done anything remotely as corrupt as the Trump admin, Repubs AND Dems would have been all over it! He would have been removed from office. Where is the love of America and morality in the right wing party? Silence is compliance.

Long Islanders who are Democrats...look who's standing next to Squeaker Mike Johnson as he lies...J/6 was the beginning of their war on America's democracy, people, the Constitution, and country. Nick LaLota is one of them - vote him out as soon as possible!

"What I've seen is the abuse of law enforcement by rasical leftist activists. The Most threatening thing I've seen yet was the naked bicyclists in Portland who were protesting ice."........Johnson is so desperate to paint peaceful protestors as "abusive & violent".

Honor those who stood up for American values.

Hang the plaque on the wall to honor the officers who defended the Capitol on J/6.

A law was passed a long time ago to place a plaque on the wall to honor the officers who defended the Capitol on J6. The plaque is done and has been ready to hang up for a long time. MAGA Mike refuses to comply with that law, which is a slap in the face to every officer. bsky.app/profile/atru...

🚨 SCOTUS is hearing Louisiana v. Callais — a case that could gut what’s left of the Voting Rights Act.

Trump’s DOJ backed efforts to weaken the voting power of communities of color.

🗳️ The right to fair representation is on the line.

The Intolerable Acts are what caused the American Revolution. I feel the things trump is doing are eerily similar and tyrannical in nature. Although they aren’t exactly the same, they are just as intolerable.

A group of Arizona lawmakers gathered in front of the Capitol and accused Mr. Johnson of protecting pedophiles, obstructing the will of voters and taking an unprecedented political action in refusing to perform the simple ministerial duty of swearing in an elected member of Congress.

She wasn't "arrested", she was assaulted, kidnapped, & is being unlawfully imprisoned for playing music during a peaceful protest.

The chump administration is openly trampling the rights of Americans to instill fear & silence dissent.

Children aren't born racists.
They're raised to be racists.

By parents who believe skin color defines a person's worth.
By Republicans who spread hate & racism.
By right wing media who glorify guns & violence.

If the justices determine that lawmakers may not consider race in drawing districts, the repercussions for the country’s political balance could be sweeping, allowing Republican state legislatures to eliminate at least a dozen Democratic-held House districts across the South.
