My combination dyslexia & ADHD can make my posts a bit of a puzzle-still better than NYT Wordle.
Fuck patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, and fascism.
I do social work, support humanitarian groups, and love my spouse, my kids, and my dog.

The US has sent millions of soldiers to foreign soil to fight, risking death, dismemberment & horrible injury to defend freedom & fight for our rights guaranteed in the constitution. Are we going to fight for our rights or hand them over to a felon child predator?
I used to work in homeless programs in the Pacific NW where Rick lives and set up this service. This act of generosity & kindness is invaluable to the vulnerable people there who feel forsaken. Communities can change the lives of traumatized people with acts of kindness. Rick Steves is a good soul.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

God. If you can say “I think you should have the same rights as everyone else but now isn’t the time…” then you don’t think everyone should have the same rights. You’re just a cowardly shitbag trying to convince yourself that you’re a decent person. But you’re not.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

BULLSHIT.
@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.
This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

My son has an incurable, lifelong skin cancer syndrome (NBCCS).
This week, he had ANOTHER mystery lump biopsy w/stitches, and regularly has benign jaw tumors removed (26), along with permanent teeth (25).
Like millions of Americans, we’re ALL walking preexisting conditions.
2026 is coming. 🗳️👇🏽

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

Read the entire thread. This is terrifying.
NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

It's hard to have words for this, it has all been said.
The pain, the outrage, the stupidity of the inaction that one person can go through this twice.
It's gun. It's systems that treat people as commodities. Our country is sick.
