Like many times for others when I want to honor a life that has passed, I am lighting this candle to honor the well-lived life of my loving husband. Lots of breakthrough grief and tears today despite all the tasks I still have to manage. I wanted so much more time with this man. πŸ’”

Missing the love of my life. My spouse, Bill, passed away yesterday morning. My mind keeps rejecting that he is gone. I may have lost him, but I get to keep that big love we had for the rest of my life.

It continues to amaze me a little bit that public libraries exist, and offer SO MANY free resources, and you can support them by... using those resources. Like surely I'm getting away with something here

In other words, Heritage's "antisemitism" plan is rooted in Great Replacement Theory. They're advancing the antisemitic conspiracy theory that's responsible for the single largest slaughter of Jews on American soil in history, and they're claiming that they're fighting antisemitism while they do it.

So Musk and Ramaswamy want to cut
- cancer research
- law enforcement
- veterans’ healthcare
- Alzheimer’s research
- low-income kids going to college
- low-income kids learning to read

They want to make America sicker, less safe, less educated β€” and WEAKER

DAMASCUS:

1000s of prisoners have been freed from Sednaya prison, now flooding the streets, an monumental moment.

For many, the frantic search begins, desperate to know if their loved ones are among the living or the lost.

Either way, the "human slaughterhouse" is no more.

100% correct.

Dems promising to work with DOGE are trying to burnish their own credentials at the expense of the party’s ability to drive a clear message about what’s happening here.

Democrats should be planning to fight these corrupt plutocrats, not offering to work with them.
