This is not the future we imagined. It's the future we're now given. For democracy to live, we all need to do whatever we are able. Doing nothing is not an option. If you can't participate, support those who can. She/her

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

This is a start. Call your Reps. & Congressmen. Tell them to vote in favor of impeachment for crimes against the Constitution and the American People.

So you are telling me that in the โ€œnation of lawsโ€ that was founded on the principle of having no tyranny we must suffer a tyrant because Republicans would rather burn the country down instead of upholding their oaths. Cool, cool, cool.
Anyway really got the Pink Pony Club song stuck in my head.

U.S.D.A. Freezes Funding for Maine Amid Battle Over Transgender Athletes The administration concluded last month that Maine had violated federal law by allowing transgender athletes to play on girlsโ€™ or womenโ€™s teams.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed.

I'm listening to @SenBooker's speech. It's fantastic. I'm gonna listen to the whole thing, just not all at onece, because I have to use the restroom more often than he did. The speech is at the C-Span website.

That might be why. The velvet rose has a tendency to wash out ๐Ÿ˜. I found a PDF on the Amaco website that has samples of all the velvets at cone 06, 6 and 10. It's been a great resource for me.
