The American colonists finally stood up to mad King George III on 4/19/1775 at Lexington and Concord in the Massachusetts Colony. 4/19/2025 is the 250th anniversary. America had enough of one mad king then and we won’t tolerate King DJT now. PEACEFUL PROTESTS are the best way to resist. Find one.

His claim is so funny, though, that SHE will throw Wisconsin into “total chaos.” It’s false on its face. HE creates total chaos. So this claim is obviously false. And it’s an odd concession that chaos is bad. I’m so proud of Wisconsin and Booker. Today I’m filled with hope for democracy. 💙

As a child, I loved horses. I learned the colors: palomino, black, grey, bay. But her heart beneath her skin made her great, not her color. Why is it so hard for us? Your skin doesn’t make you better. Your penis doesn’t make you better. If we could find our hearts, we could all be better together.

I’m so sorry your family went through that. I am glad you are able to tell the story of your family’s imprisonment at Heart Mountain. I am committed to doing everything I can as a lawyer to stand in the way of anything like this happening ever again.

My husband and I reviewed “You Like It Darker” on our podcast, Bestseller. We loved it! Highly recommend. 🥰

Today I am thankful for you, my friend and neighbor. For every beautiful hue of skin and dialect of speech that is free. For every living, breathing, loving thing on this lustrous planet. For just laws that promote peace for all people. Cheers to you all. May we all still be free next year.

That’s good writing!

Yes! Mine’s a rascal, but she loves me.

We all need smart, capable, compassionate, strong general practitioners. Thank you for all you do for people every day. Without your skills, everyone’s health suffers. We all must stand up for one another when a group is targeted.

Hi, Finn! This is my Finn.

How wonderful! That’s such a hard journey. So glad you are almost through! We need good nurses everywhere!!

There are also lots of plant-based meat alternatives. I would add that if someone says they don’t eat meat, immediately talking about how great meat tastes to you is not helpful. In fact, it likely makes the non-meat-eater you are talking to want to throw up.

They never seem to realize how their actions could create a precedent that could be used against them.

Thought for the day: “When we are in a state of love, we are not in a state of fear. When we are not in a state of fear, we are not easy to control.” (-Alana Fairchild). Ask: who benefits from YOU being in a state of fear? Maybe it’s time to love your neighbor.

It’s sad when people project a sick ulterior motive for a person using a bathroom. A trans woman is a woman using the women’s restroom. She’s not there trying to pick up women. She’s trying to pee. Who are these paranoid people who think someone would go trans just to spy on the opp sex bathroom?

I love that your son is thinking seriously. I remember when I was 14, I had study hall in the music room with 8-10 others. Abortion came up. I hadn’t thought about it much. Somehow, in the face of adversity, I articulated that because it might be necessary sometimes, it must be available for all.

I’m currently listening to Christmas jazz and feeling blessed and grateful for this new platform, where every other comment is not a Russian bot trying to get me to hate everything I love. Thanks for your post!
