Let cops earn that respect. And that means more than putting on the uniform. That means not protecting cops who kill a Black 12-yr-old, or who rape sex workers.
It means not rounding up homeless camps.

Homeless Sweeps Can Be More Humane, Experts Say. It Isn’t Easy
Some localities are addressing street homelessness with a new approach, which experts say can clear encampments while protecting the health of people who are forced to move.

Toad often reminds me of myself, though if I were to be perfectly honest if Toad represented me perfectly there would be a lot more pushing Frog into a snowbank and going back to bed.
Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!”

I loved Northern Exposure and I loved Elaine Miles' portrayal of Marilyn in it. But even if I didn't, this is still abominable, and when I see this about someone famous and beloved it makes me think how many ppl are suffering in the same ways but don't have the following to publicize it.
Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.
Native American actress gave ICE agents her tribal ID. They called it 'fake,' she says

I love how even experienced TV announcers seem to think that the band who sang Manic Monday and Walk Like An Egyptian is an NFL team.
I wonder if they think the Bengals are a new wave band.

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy?
Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy
Nephew: How???
Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine
Nephew: …
Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

There must be zero violence of any kind. Period.
The idea that certain ppl in the US deserve to live free of violence MORE than others deserve to live free of violence is a terrible and corrupting idea.
Don't stop yourself from shooting ppl bc they were a uniform. Stop yourself bc they're ppl.

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

I think two under-appreciated facts of which BlueSky may need reminding are these:
First, I am in fact (like several other persons on this site that I could name) a tartlet, and
Second, we tartlets enjoy embracing.

We need to embrace mini pies/bites/tartlets.
Some of these desserts, however good they taste, can be enjoyed with 1 or 2 of those mini bites. After the first few bites of a full slice of pecan pie... the rest is a chore!

"Power is only as good as your willingness to lift everyone else up with you."
Exactly correct, and what I've been saying about Dems for years - and w frequency this year.
Why won't Schumer, Jeffries & other @democrats.org focus on lifting others up rather than gathering power for themselves?

Embrace of HRT can mean generally supportive family members, which affects success of treatment.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

This is exactly the @schumer.senate.gov way.
He has plans to get more Senate Dems elected -- hoping, of course, that he can become the Majority Leader -- but no plans to rescue US citizens from ICE or to rescue immigrants from overcrowded, unsanitary detention - even if they must still be detained.

Politicians have all but abandoned their duties to the people, preferring instead to advocate for their own interests and bigotries, personal enrichment and power.
They no longer represent us in most cases, but themselves using our backs to stand upon, above us.
