Trump's intentional avalanche of garbage Just because we knew the deluge was coming...doesn't make it any less alarming to behold

"If it feels like an insurmountable amount of garbage is being dumped on us, that's by design. It’s creating such an avalanche of disappointment that we're left feeling disheartened, disillusioned, and discouraged. He wants us to become so numb to injustice that it becomes our new normal."

Mississippi’s HB1484 is absolutely terrifying. Regardless if it passes or not, the fact that it has even been introduced shows just how far we’ve regressed. My heart is sad. 😔

Oh. My. God. This is actually terrifying.
I’m speechless. We need each other more now than ever. We must stand together. We must not allow history to repeat itself. Never forget. Never again 💔😭

Surgery went well on my foot. The doctor seemed pleased and hopeful. I am very thankful for the donor who provided their tendon in death to aid in my healing journey. I will take very good care of it, and take it on many wonderful adventures. I plan on writing the family to express my gratitude.
