Love is stronger than hate- always. ❤️
But, our current fascist US regime & Rep Tom McClintock (CA #5) anger me beyond words. So, keep that in mind when reading my rants. Regardless, art, music, & poetry inspire me to keep going. 🎨🎶📚

Leaves
By Ursula K. Le Guin
Years do odd things to identity […]
Might as well say I am the shadow
of a leaf of the acacia tree […]
Might as well say I am the words […]
I wrote in other years,
flicker of shade and sunlight
as the wind moves through the leaves.

Rep. McClintock, voting yes on this horrific bill = stripping ALL OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS of their healthcare.
EVERY RURAL HOSPITAL IN YOUR DISTRICT WILL CLOSE.
I hope they all show up on YOUR doorstep.

Memorize these Republican Reps, fellow Californians, because they’ll vote yes on this horrific bill.
Let’s repeal THEIR healthcare, the healthcare of their parents, & ensure THEY experience what WE will if this bill passes.
