Wrote this to Tim Kaine this morning:

Hi Tim, you don’t know me but I feel like I know you. I was an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney while you were running for and became mayor. We worked together on some initiatives and I found you to be dedicated, sincere and an advocate for the downtrodden.

“The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love & support
She loved animals & she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her”

I really need some advice -each year “friends” plan a trip and again this year they chose FL. I’ve been boycotting red states for a while but definitely now!

My 10 year old Maltese,who has suffered with Lyme Disease her entire life, has now decided TV watching is completely off limits in the house. I mean … she loses her ever-loving mind every time I turn on the TV. Has anyone ever heard of this? Researchers say her blood = holy grail of Lyme research!

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”
