Post-menopausal woman. Mostly salty but a little sweet. I’m here for the resistance and to fight for the future of democracy . Public education is my day job. Once upon a time I wrote romance novels. I even worked at McDonalds, but can’t prove it.
-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence
Remember: These are the foundations of real freedom.
Our last normal thing was State Ski Championships. The spring musical my son worked hard to
Get a lead role in was canceled. I remember leaving school on Friday the 13th not knowing if we’d have school the following week. We did not go back until August. Hybrid, in person classes 2 days a week.
Trump’s war is costing about $2 BILLION a day. That’s the same as: • 270,000 Pell Grants helping students afford college • A full year of rent for 143,000 families • Nearly 4 years of the 988 suicide crisis hotline • 3+ months of WIC nutrition for moms and babies • 29 days of breakfast and lunch for every public school kid in America • All the humanitarian aid the U.S. gives the UN in a year • A year of free preschool for 110,000 low-income kids • A month of SNAP for nearly 10 million Americans • A month of Medicaid for nearly 3 million Americans

It is a beautiful campus with that classic college aesthetic.
Raiders of the Lost Ark was filmed there as well.
I wish I had other options. We have target, Walmart and Dollar Tree. Or Amazon. Walmart has almost everything locked behind glass. So it’s not worth trying to buy anything there. Certain items are so much more expensive at the grocery store. I stick to stuff I need. No more impulse buys.
To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.
The most evil monster in America today is the Republican Party and their evil media.
If you really want to know who the Republican Party is?…listen to their accusations of the Democrats.
The money that could have given Americans universal healthcare here at home is being spent instead to murder schoolgirls overseas.
Kamala Harris was gonna give y'all down payment assistance but I guess war is nice too
Our president is one of the most arrogantly stupid leaders in the history of this planet.
Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
I find that Tuesday and Wednesday are worse. Everyone is prepared or completely oblivious on Monday and make the extra effort or show up an hour late. But then reality sets in. By the third day we’re all a draggin’.
Right. It’s especially hard writing romance with main characters who are the age of my children so that means their parents are *cough* my age. And yes their grandma saw Janice Joplin live.
Nothing says Happy International Women’s Day like a president throwing a temper tantrum if the Senate doesn’t vote to make voting very difficult for millions of women, end mail-in voting and further demonize trans people.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
And as they keep adding more and more for teachers to be responsible for teaching, the only thing that is ever taken away is funding. And yea, we’re still supposed to teach cursive but they’re tested on the computer and there are only so many hours in the day.
That’s the thing. If kids these days don’t know how to do something it’s because no one ever taught them. Even basic stuff that we were taught at home before we went to school.
Take the win, people.
Breathe it in.
It doesn’t matter that there’s a different job awaiting her. It doesn’t matter if the new guy sucks, too.
She lost. They caved. Take the win.
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
Thanks for the warning.
This country could have had Kamala Harris, but chose the dumbest man on the planet for a second time.
There can be ONE, and only one, objective on any bill or policy that makes it harder to vote.
And that is to make it harder to vote. Period. The end.
That’s the election fraud right there.
A woman holding a sign that says: Not today SprAyTAN
Unless it also contains vanilla, that’s valid.
I’m so fucking tired of hearing about Trump every fucking day..
I hike because my friends hike. And there are many places you can’t get to any other way. I’m learning to appreciate it more. And notice the tiny flowers still blooming late into the fall. Or the saplings pushing through the charred soil from where the fire raged not too long ago. Nature rocks!
If you don't like reading romance, don't write romance!
Its depressing that Trump cannot live long enough to serve the jail sentence he deserves
So sick of being told by centrists that we have to be bigots to win over the bigots.
No, fuck that.
