If Ukraine falls, democracy everywhere will fall.

And, as Ice T said, if LA falls, America will fall.

To the rest of the world:
99% of America DOES NOT WANT THIS. WE KNOW WHAT HE IS AND WHAT HE WANTS.

Keep us in your thoughts.

LA will determine the future of our country. Pray for us all.

God, I hope you're right

As an American, I didn't vote for the orange pig, and I know others who didn't vote for him either. I'm on Ukraine's side, and so are millions of other Americans.

So do I. I've said that for years. After all, wasn't his first wife Russian?

It's their *job*- they work for the people whether they're in Indiana or Nevada, not Trump. And they shouldn't refuse to take a call from a constituent that they *work for*. Their refusal to answer constituent calls is proof they're not qualified to work for the people. What's their contact info?

I haven't written a single word- slam poem, screenplay, novel or otherwise- since setting foot back in the US after 5 years in the UK. I've tried, but I can't seem to. It hurts, because my entire life is centered around art and theatre and performing. 😞

I have a book written and ready to publish, but... I'm sorely tempted to scrap it, but my best friend said that she will publish it just to spite me, claiming it's a posthumous work. The 'author' is my pseudonym and doesn't technically exist. She thinks it's worth publishing. I'm not so sure. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Which is ironic, considering those morons probably don't even know *what* those flags actually stand for 🤦🏻‍♀️

I've been off my phone at work for the last several hours. Just got home. Someone please catch me in - is this good news or bad? I can't tell the difference anymore. 😭

He needs to be either deported and banned or we need Mario to finish what Luigi started. Just saying.

Procrastinating on the second novel in my saga... So here's a photo I took today of my cat in my Benny hat- sorry, beanie. Ugh, American English is difficult to get back into after five years in the UK...

You know you're unfit for anything when your cousin - who lost her father in an assassination, her mother to cancer and her brother and sister-in-law in a plane crash and keeps a near nonexistent public profile- has to essentially come out of her 'nonexistence' to speak out against you.

As a Nevadan- and I could be wrong, so take this with a grain of salt- but I *think* the Nevadan was Jacky Rosen. And if it was, she's pretty f'kin brilliant and knows how to handle morons like RFK, especially given that she has to work with Scott Amodei on a daily basis.

I feel so called out 😁

3/ Don't just be like the Resistance.

BE the Resistance.

2/ Because when they've rounded up everyone else, eventually, they will come after you. And they will. And do you *really* think anyone will stand up for you if you don't stand up against what's happening now?
Because it's happening now. In Chicago.

And it will happen in other cities and in towns.

Remember the Resistance- the French, Italian, German and others- who protected their Jewish neighbours and friends when Hitler came in and rounded up the Jews.

Be like the Resistance.

We're *not* going down without a fight.

That... video... is probably the second most disgusting thing I've ever seen 😳

Recently coloured my hair as opposed to chopping off 5.5 years of growth, and the shower looked like a scene out of Psycho- or like I just bathed in the blood of my enemies... Or in the blood of virgin servant girls, ala the legend of Elizabeth Bathory.
