If you want to help a family in Gaza, this sweet one could definitely use it. They’ve been through so much, are still going through it. Right now their urgent need is for their asthmatic daughter. I know the person sponsoring their crowdsourcing. Plz give if/what you can.

And I think I probably got the better trophy.
Acceptance feels good. She feels peaceful and sturdy. I can respect her and find strength in her.
Happy to have made it Home.

I thought Love was the game I was playing, and that each of those bases were the cost (one I was always ready to pay) in order to win the game- win the trophy. Earn myself the Relationship I was so certain I wanted.
But I wasn’t running for Love, I was running through Grief.

Grief

Apparently Grief has been my companion (my coach, really) all this time, not Love, not Fear.
It all makes sense to me now, in hindsight, here from the dugout of Acceptance. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Sadness must have been the bases I had to run before making it back home to Rest.

SCOTUS must immediately uphold judicial authority, and protect the rule of law Text SIGN PKZEOK to 50409 β€” The actions of President Trump and his administration in defying the Supreme Court's clear order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador to the United States are an unprecedented threat to the rule of law and the balance of powers. By willfully mischaracterizing the Court's ruling and refusing to provide basic information or take any steps to comply, the Executive Branch has placed itself in open defiance of the Judicial Branch. This blatant disregard for the authority of the federal courts strikes at the very foundation of our constitutional system of checks and balances. If allowed to stand, the President's position that the courts lack any power to compel action related to foreign affairs would effectively nullify judicial review over a vast swath of Executive actions. This radical view of unbounded presidential authority is antithetical to our nation's principles and cannot be accepted. The Court must decisively rebuke this constitutionally dangerous path by promptly exercising its considerable authority to enforce its ruling and reassert the preeminence of the law. Failure to do so would represent an irreversible abdication of the Court's vital role as a co-equal branch of government. Given the gravity of the situation, holding administration officials in contempt for non-compliance appears a necessary and justified initial response. More stringent measures may unfortunately become warranted should defiance persist. The integrity of the American system of constitutional democracy is at stake. Firm action to uphold the Court's legitimacy, affirm the separation of powers, and compel the President's compliance is imperative to avoid a catastrophic institutional crisis.

STOP TRUMP. THIS IS A CONSTITUTIONAL EMERGENCY Text SIGN PUYADG to 50409 β€” This is a constitutional emergency. El Salvador won’t return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Meanwhile, Trump is not only refusing to bring him backβ€”he is lying about the Supreme Court ruling compelling him to do. So now there is no more rule of law. No Habeas corpus. No authority of scotus. Trump can have anyone captured, detained and sent to a foreign concentration camp. YOU MUST STOP THIS. Who will be next?

We don’t need billionaires. We need

- affordable housing
- universal healthcare
- living wages
- clean & reliable public transit
- affordable childcare

Imagine if the rewards of our hard work went back into our communities instead of being hoarded by a handful at the top.

We can expect Trump to direct a criminal investigation into Act Blue. From there Trump will target other platforms that raise money for Dems. Like Hitler, Trump and MAGA dream of a "thousand-year Reich." But It's NOT happening on our watch!

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Overwhelmed? Totally understandable.

Take a breath. Recall your values.

Based on those valuesβ€”what can you individually be responsible for in this moment? What are you accountable for in relationship to our collective liberation?

Trump is not for workers.

He wants to give himself and his billionaire friends major tax breaks, and he wants to take working people’s food, healthcare, and housing to pay for it.
