Here to find a community where it is safe to be yourself, know you don’t know everything, and feel safe to ask questions. Forced to be political. Prefer art and things that lead with love instead. Hopeful but fully Woke to know we need to do better.

My opinion as a Texan who is tired of ethical, morally centered people’s voices behind silenced and ignored. The Texas Redistricting that is happening right now can not be defined as anything more than scared people in power grasping at straws to keep the bribe money rolling. Pure Stank Ass Bullshit
Kind of where I’m at honestly. Finding the happiness in being blessed to still have people to be happy with even when the world makes us feel we don’t deserve it. Sharing love doesn’t mean everything is ok. But it prepares us for happier times when we beat this evil back to submission & obliteration
you can still radiate light if you’re sad. you can still be kind and soft-hearted if you’re a bit cynical. you don’t need to be the happiest person to make someone else’s day better. ♡

Honestly even further back then that, from when he was denying housing on basis of race. Luckily I had a father that hated him long before I could pick up the torch. Miss you Dad. Wish our torch could burn the whole thing down.
I hated Donold back in the Central Park five days long before it was cool.
I’ve had a similar conversation. Only not with my son. Luckily he has been forced fed Trump hate since Trump was firing people for ratings on reality TV. Scarier still it’s with people who somewhat directly affect my distribution of pay. One of the reasons I’ve kept my work options open since 2016.
My son thinks I've got "Trump Derangement Syndrome." I calmly explained to him that actually, it's just the sound of a cult member's brain short-circuiting when their God- Leader goes off-script. Common mistake."
This! 100 %Call this what it is. What we say and do matters. This isn’t cute or funny. We are dealing with control, overreach, death and abuse. It is about to get so much worse, the silent people are not ready. It is going to take a lot of work to get back to normal if there ever was a normal.
I refuse to call an American concentration camp the same thing it calls itself at its attached gift shop Maybe American journalism should search in the garbage for its self-respect and start taking the same position?

So very hard! Monopoly always felt like a double, triple negative with a backward twist. Just like Life I guess. Too much of a good thing gets you in trouble. I say got to be just lucky enough to win, but stay free. Oh and look at jail as timeout when you are ahead. That and always be the Scottie.
What a tribute! “In my Room” was so important to me growing up. It spoke of my first personal sanctuary. It was my first safe space to be alone and ok. It was filled with things I loved and was proud of and still is. I’ve come full circle and am actually staring at my “childhood room”. Still safe.
DIANA KRALL performed the Brian Wilson/Beach Boys song "In My Room" when I saw her Thursday night at the Elkhart Jazz Festival. Beautiful. I just found out she did "In My Room" and Bob Dylan's “Queen Jane Approximately” as the encore last night when she closed her show in St. Louis. Here is video

youtube.com/watch?v=gp5J... Seems like a perfect song for the peaceful protests today. More so, Praying for Minnesota right now. Just sick over the attack there. Heard about it from a fellow citizen exercising our rights in Texas today.

I count what 10-12 officers in frame and one civilian woman approaching law enforcement simply trying to get home. Not one officer could take charge and de-escalate the situation like a human being. Or are we all to assume she is a high danger individual. She was outnumbered 10 to 1 and he fired. 😖
WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...
Scares me when “tar and feathered” is used in jest in this political environment. When “tar and feathered” is joked about as punishment regarding people exercising their constitutional rights and it isn’t immediately condemned by the public. The next thing sent in jest just might be “strange fruit”.
Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way? MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

How does this man do things everyday that would qualify as treason and immediately cancel and bring up charges against any other President in history? Every time I think ok well that has to be the end. NOW ANYONE we put in power is going to do something to stop this madness? Then I wake up to worse!

I was indoctrinated into the Catholic Church and that journey almost ruined my possible faith journey. My parents were believers in their faith so this pisses me off for them. Is there ever a level of respect for anyone that is not actively making this man money? If there is a god he is watching.
This may be the most obscene thing this man has ever done on social media It’s offensive at a level I’m struggling to articulate, but we can start with the fact that he’s again framing himself as God’s chosen representative on Earth when he is, remember, a _serial sexual predator_
