This is the other part of why I don't answer when my dad calls. Not only will he refuse to stand up to a bully for himself or his family, even ignoring child endangerment; but he also supports trump. One of the 2 last times we saw him, he was in the 2020 ๐ŸŠ convoy that went past our house. ๐Ÿ˜’

Since No One Else Seems to Care, Letโ€™s Remember Epsteinโ€™s Survivors They've already told us everything we need to know...

Ghislaine Maxwell, who helped Jeffrey Epstein procure and sexually abuse young women, was transferred to a cushy minimum-security prison in Texas in the midst of Trump needing her support with the Epstein files.

We all know what's happening but shouldn't lose focus. www.jezebel.com/since-no-one...

Rep. Greg Casar is rallying the people right now outside Abbottโ€™s mansionโ€”because Texas Democrats are DONE playing nice.

Theyโ€™re risking everything to stop Trumpโ€™s racist, illegal power grab.

This isnโ€™t a protest. Itโ€™s a reckoning.

Weโ€™re not letting them steal a damn thing.

If we reach $5000, we can do 2-3 billboards, and I will Dye My Hair.

If we reach $7500, we can do 4-5 billboards and I will take a fully clothed swim in the ocean and a lake.

If we reach $10,000 I will run a poll and let social media decide my hair style.

They say unicorns bow to virgin maidens,
but they donโ€™t say what happens after they kneel.
They donโ€™t say what the horn is for.
They say they are gentle,
but only in the way a trap is gentle when it waits.

They say unicorns bow to virgin maidens, but they donโ€™t say what happens after they kneel. They donโ€™t say what the horn is for. They say they are gentle, but only in the way a trap is gentle when it waits.

I am still haunted by this poem, "The Myth Was Never The Unicorn," written by one of the teens who participated in the creative writing program at the museum this summer. A reminder that girls are always aware.

Read the full piece and listen to the author recite it: journey75.org/2025/the-myt...

Air filters, like hepa 13s, in schools and all hospital/clinic waiting rooms and exam areas would've helped a lot. Still can't believe they didn't even do that. Should've been happening already, everyone knows illness spreads in schools and a dr waiting room in flu season is asking to catch it.

Long Covid is now a leading cause of chronic lung illness in children in the US. Itโ€™s overtaken asthma, thatโ€™s how common it is and we were told itโ€™s mild. Our policies do not reflect the real risks to children from this horrible virus. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
