This clip should be put on continuous repeat everywhere. It shows exactly how much our President cares about us.

So try to help me understand. Explain to me as if -I- were a 5 year old myself, why a 5 year old boy in is among the worst of the worst, maybe a drug dealer and rapist and violent criminal who is such a threat to the regime that after he was freed, they are suing to reimprison him???

Stop New ICE Detention Centers in Pennsylvania The Department of Homeland Security has plans to open 23 detention centers nationwide. We recently learned that two of them would be in warehouses DHS purchased in Pennsylvania, in Berks and Schuylkil...

This is happening in a number of states and is very wrong. We cannot let this happen in Pennsylvania. Please sign.

Playing in my head. AND heart. Last night when I lit one candle. Feeling sad for the lives lost.

Trump called a state Governor a slur word used at people with intellectual disabilities.What we have come to: A President who uses hate speech. I wouldn't hire him as dogcatcher. No.Actually animal control officers must care about people & animals & admit mistakes not blame everyone else.

1. Video calls on military to disobey --unlawful-- orders.
2. This is simply a reminder to follow the existing military code of conduct.
3. Trump complains that the video calls on the military to disobey HIS orders.
4. If the shoe fits....

"Leningrad", by Billy Joel.
A song that feels hopeful: about the Cold War, growing up in fear of each other,then seeing each other face to face across a deep divide.

Songs always play in my mind/are my mental chatter.I share what the song playing now makes me think of.

"Once Upon a December" from Anastasia.The past shapes who we are/how we act.Admitting past collective wrongs is hard but hiding them is a hurtful lie & makes nobody great. #Laurie'sMorningSongs
Songs always play in my mind/are my mental chatter.I share what the song playing now makes me think of.

"If It Wasn't for the Women"/Alix Dobkin.Old radical feminist song.We would NOT even BE alive without women.This song could make tiny MAGA brains EXPLODE:"Oh NO!! DEI!"

Random songs constantly play in my mind/my form of mental chatter.I share the song "playing" this morning.

"I'm Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair" Rogers/ Hammerstein. Huh?I don't even GO w/men.But this song reminded me of a man who is trying to wear a crown on his orange head.No Kings!

Harry Potter theme. My reaction:
Gryffinor or Slytherin?Choose wisely.But let your wand choose YOU. Magic surrounds us on our planet and we each have a unique magic.

#Laurie'sMorningSongs
I am not a musician but songs composed by others constantly play in my "mind's ear".Sharing meaning i found in the song I awoke to each day.

This morning woke up to "Earth my body Water my blood Air my breath Fire my spirit" by Maggie Clifford,a reminder we belong to nature,should not try to dominate it.

#Laurie'sMorningSongs
I am not a musician but have a constant musical mental "songdtrack". Sharing songs i hear when I wake up.

Today,song I woke to was Hinei Ma Tov.Psalm 133."How good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity".To me this means:We all have unique needs.Don't deny conflict heal it: Meet needs,see us all,LISTEN.

Sharing some of my constant mental songtrack

I have a constant mental soundtrack.My form of mental chatter.Normal for me.It creates stimulation,calm,focus,filter,as I have a hyperactive mind.Sometimes meaningful other times I don't listen.Always there.I can change song,not turn off.Will post about songs sometimes w/hashtag #Laurie'sMorningSong

I have a constant mental songtrack. I cannot and do not want to silence it. The song always changes. I will sometimes post about song playing in morning & my reaction under #Laurie'sMorningSong

A wonderful retelling of the Emperor's New Clothes that I enjoyed watching on YouTube.

Donald here's the thing,
Your praises we won't sing
we will NOT kiss your ..... ring
'Cause we're not believing
in all your bulls__ting
So we will keep voting
and we will keep thinking
And we will keep marching!
We say: Let FREEDOM ring!
We say: DOWN WITH THE KING!!

#WeThePeoplePoems

Our country has been led astray
By men who oppress us for their play
And what Trump does is NOT okay
So we will not let Tyranny stay

So we're NOT going to obey
Never again, NO WAY

NO KINGS
NOT TODAY.
