About 30 of us walked from the Fresh Market in Hendersonville to one of US Rep. Chuck Edwards’s McDonald’s restaurant. The Brass Your Heart marching band led everyone into the restaurant as they played and we marched and played for a few minutes, then demonstrated outside. What a hoot!

Ii’ve been away too long. My son’s cancer is stage 4 and I’m trying to navigate the emotions of the realization that I will bury both my children. I’m back and fiercer than ever.

I’ve not been on here much lately. My only surviving son has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and he’s not doing well. This sucks.

I'm still trying to find out. He's pretty good at keeping that quiet.

This nation would be a better place if just one White House reporter had the courage to ask "what the hell are you rambling about, old man?"

So, a few of us did a thing over the weekend: We called for a boycott of the McDonald's restaurants owned by Rep. Chuck Edwards and had a picket line on Friday and Sunday. We actually had a couple people thank us and go somewhere else. Please don't feed the oligarchs. They have too much already.

I was arrested for praying in the Capitol Rotunda in June.

This defines him more than any photo I’ve seen.

I’ve been offline for a couple weeks as my son battles colon cancer and complications from surgery. He’s mending slowly, and I’m back in the fight. Release the Epstein files!

I can’t even find words for all this. Our “president” posts a cartoon of him dropping shit — literally, shit— on all of us. 7 million people turn out to protest the uncontrollable toddler in the White House and our so- called leaders collectively shrug and say, “Meh.”

“… appeared to be …” ??? C’mon, WaPo. It was 7 million strong!
