Let me be clear: NO unsolicited DMs.
They are unacceptable to anyone. You will be blocked!
Women have faced sexual harassment for centuries: unwanted touching, denigration, sexual comments, & worse.

While I appreciate your essays, I want to point out that as a retired nurse/paramedic, I have always found the term "ambulance driver" to be an insult to EMT's who go to school & have to pass a test to be certified. To keep that cert. up they have to actively work & take continuing ed classes.

He certainly is not nor has ever been. He is an evil man who treats others like they are expendable, even those who were previously loyal to him. He is a vile excuse for a human being.

"To be clear, we are already past the point where it’s only people in the US without legal immigration status who are at risk.

I had some grapes that were good but a little too strong concord type taste for me to just eat. So, I decided to try making an Italian Grape Cake with them. It turned out wonderful. The grapes were mellowed by the almond and cake batter and melded perfectly with them. I highly recommend this recipe

I hope you’ll share this short video."

Good oint. This country was built on the backs of slaves; mostly black but also Chinese and other races, the white people thought we're inferior to them.

When we ignore history, we keep repeating it. While Biden did a lot of good as president, funding Israel's war against the Palestine people was 100% wrong. And it hasn't stopped. We hear there isn't enough money to take care of the most vulnerable in our society yet, we fund genocide

Excellent point

I happen to be white and over 60. Clearly since I posted it, I dont take issue with it.

I am not scared of interaction. Rather I choose not to invite rude people to harass me. I am happily married and dont want the "hey beautiful, we should talk" bullshit or magas with their insufferable bullshit. Just not into playing dm games

As a special education teacher, I worry that my students won’t get their services. Taco and his gang of vipers don’t give a damn. All they care about is their money and power.

My grandson has severe autism and I am more than concerned that these fascists will take away his ability to access education. He is quite intelligent but struggles when his routine is disrupted

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.
