I'm tired of "doomscrolling". I prefer laughter, peace, & optimism amongst the realism. Married to the love of my life ❤️. Mom to awesome kids, but I may be biased towards their awesomeness. 😉🥰

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Think ICE’s tactics are bad now? Recruits “have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards, raising concerns about the agency’s rush to hire immigration officers, sources told NBC News.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.
They make sure we have clean water.
They protect us from financial fraud.
They provide healthcare to our communities.
They make our government actually work for people.
Do not forget this.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.
The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!
Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Let's all remember this: opinions aren't facts 🥰. Here are some fun questions I like to ask when people make certain claims. 💜

We found this cool magnet at an antique store 🥰. No, it isn't an antique, but it's awesome! The store owners also loved it. It was a lovely find 💜✌️

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.
Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

NEW VIDEO: “Protecting Pedophiles for Tax Cuts.” Exploring Republicans’ eagerness to shield adults who rape children in order to ensure the GOP can continue to give billionaires tax cuts, take away healthcare from ordinary Americans, and kidnap refugees. Glory!

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.
Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

That should be a TV commercial that is already running highlighting lack of Due Process and the “innocent” people being detained & deported. The cruelty of kids being left standing in the streets. Democrats need to learn how to counter Trump’s narrative of what voters see before the 2026 elections!!
