Remembering Virginia Giuffre
Daughter, Sister, Mother, Survivor, and Fierce Advocate

Just dropped...
On what would have been her 42nd birthday, I'm thinking of Virginia and wondering how joyful her life might have been, "had she not been forced to slay demons."

If a 5’2’’woman can keep fighting even if some days, it feels like harnessing the waves in the ocean, why can't I? She simply will not accept the things that she can't change coz for her, as long as she's breathing, she will keep fighting!

The question of "why do people vote against their self-interest" is pretty self-explanatory when you look up the literacy rate in local schools.
We have high schools with a literacy rate of 32%.

Another reminder why Democrats are holding the line. Aside from cuts in healthcare, SNAP benefits will end as early as November.

The 'Big Beautiful Bill' slashes food stamps. One map shows how much red states depend on them.
Over 40 million Americans rely on SNAP. Trump's new legislation will cut nearly $200 billion from federal nutrition programs over the next decade.

Trump saw the note from Marco Rubio, told reporters it was about peace in the Middle East.
AP photo shows the note said “Approve a Truth Social post soon.”
We already knew he wasn’t writing his posts and now here’s proof.
Oh yeah and then he lied about live on camera 😡

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself.
Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people.
