If you happen to live in St Paul, MN Ward 4, did you know there’s a city council election August 12?

It's not enough.

I'll just be over here covering my deck in plastic, which is supposed to deter racoons from using my deck as a "latrine spot." Let's hope it works! 🤞

AI generated picture of Trump as pope

Why stop at pope? How long before he starts talking about being the galactic emperor?

Also, can we talk about how dolls (a "girls" toy) are the specific item mentioned. It's yet another example of how women and girls are told they buy too many things even though men spend just as much (sometimes more).

The number of kids who are going to have to go from 30 to 2 dolls is miniscule compared to the kids who go hungry each day.

I don't think people realize just how much every single one of us benefits from people getting the proper mental health treatment.

Women don't exist just to provide men with pleasure on their terms. If you don't want a relationship, that's fine, don't have one. Nobody's forcing you. But don't get upset that nobody wants what you have to offer.

Jesus was the one healing and caring for the outcasts - not the one taking away their care and tossing them out.

“People Will Die”: The Trump Administration Said It Lifted Its Ban on Lifesaving Humanitarian Aid. That’s Not True. Organizations that provide vital care for desperate and vulnerable people around the world have been forced to halt operations, turn away patients and lay off staff. “I’ve never seen anything that sca...

On Friday morning, the staffers at a half dozen U.S.-funded medical facilities in Sudan who care for severely malnourished children had a choice to make: Defy President Donald Trump’s order to immediately stop their operations or let up to 100 babies and toddlers die.

They chose the children.

Human beings are not brush to be cleared for a luxury resort.

Pretty kitty! 😻

You can't deport American citizens. American citizens have rights even if you don't like them.

Yes, agree with all of this.

I think what many people voted for is permission to say all of the mean, terrible things they think out loud without having to feel bad about it.

(h/t: @the.language.nerds)

I don't know what to say anymore. There are just so many things.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Ok, I think we all need this today.

I'm so excited for this new era where I don't need evidence to support anything I say. I can just tell people that "I have common sense" and everyone will believe me!

The Human Cost of Frozen Funds This is anything but “pro-life”

The Human Cost of Frozen Funds ... real lives and life saving treatment are at stake open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

But pro-life though... 🙄😡

It's appalling that the healthcare of millions of Americans can be treated so lightly - as if it doesn't matter. As if those people don't matter.

As a person who has always just wanted all people to be valued, cared for, and have a chance at living a decent, safe life, it's hard for me to watch the hatred, fear, and selfishness that has taken over.

Thinking of all those who are worried about themselves and others right now. 🩵

It's pretty amazing that these companies didn't ever consider that making things cheaper or more energy efficient was possible - or that somebody else could come in and do it and undermine them. The amount of arrogance that takes...

Absolutely! It's all about exerting control..

This week I:

✅ Deleted my Twitter accounts (I guess they were X accounts, but the last thing used then it was still Twitter)

✅ Deleted my Tiktok account and app (Loved Tiktok, but the message that Trump saved it was 🤢)
