Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies.

Pass it on.

Hey MAGA Christians. Eric Trump said they were “saving God”. So evidently your God is so weak it needs saved by a cheating, greedy con man and his grifting family.

Got it!!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Republicans are weak.

They’ve shut down the government, driven up health care costs so billionaires can get tax breaks, and now they’re hiding from a vote on the Epstein files.

“There’s a lot of weak Republican men and they’re more afraid of strong Republican women,” Greene said.

In Berks alone, more than 60,000 depend on SNAP.

Three thousand of our most vulnerable — veterans, refugees, children, and seniors — are at risk of going hungry.

They deserve better.

#HealingHearts

Going through healing from trauma or abuse doesn't feel good. It's not pleasant. Confusion, doubt, even fear are among the many feelings.

Why do it? You deserve a life free from the fallout of trauma. You deserve to be free. Keep going.
