“Some went among women who were alone,
teaching them to join together,
for there is hope in two women,
help in three women,
strength in four,
joy in five,
power in six
and against seven,
no gate may stand.”

Platner can beat Collins.
Mills WON'T beat her.
People are sick of establishment candidates. If the Dems insist on propping up Mills, Collins will beat her for the simple reason of "The devil you know". The Dems need to pull their heads out of their asses. We're so fucking tired of them.

If you think horses are beautiful, noble creatures and want to see them treated well, donate to Fresh Start. They are wonderful people who are doing their best to see all horses treated with kindness. And they are a ray of positivity in my day.

Update: If seeing Surfer in a hat gives anyone the impetus to donate, please do! We covered 42% of our donation losses for October due to job loss, medical bills, and the LA fires. We need 14.5 at $100, 29 at $50 or 58 at $25/month to cover the losses 100%.

This is good news for California!!!

Gov. Newsom signed a bill into law that will allow police oversight officials investigating misconduct to access confidential law enforcement personnel records, a change that watchdogs have argued will increase accountability for officers who break the rules

The People's Fabric @peoplesfabric.com · 14h

These guys are absolutely going to shoot more people.

They’ve already killed one man, shot a woman, and we’ve seen a pattern of pulling firearms on unarmed people doing nothing violent or illegal over the past few weeks.

Clearly they do not care at all about the temporary restraining orders.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.
