Nasty woman, boy mom, bibliophile, politics nerd, Hufflepuff. Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power. ~John Steinbeck
"A voice is a powerful thing. It can shine a light on something that is hiding in the dark ... It can change the way people think. It can change the way people act. But it can't do anything if you keep your mouth shut." Midge Maisel in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
@marcorubio For you, that may be true. I have two kids and I have spent 11 years raising them and I love them dearly. But I don't find being a mother particularly stimulating. It's a lot of grunt work. But you and he make women feel guilty for wanting more. That's the problem.
Please lock your vehicles. A 14yo boy's family is grieving his death because his brother found a gun in an alley and shot him to death while playing with it. That gun was reported stolen a month ago from an UNLOCKED vehicle. One simple click would have saved that poor boy's life.
@AllisonRFloyd From Tampa, Florida I most frequently say,
"Oh, aren't YOU important?! You must be rushing to save a life."
and
"Whoa. I've never seen someone do THAT before."
You think that's bad?
We spent over $1 trillion fighting the Iraq War.
We spent more than $8 trillion fighting the war in Afghanistan.
By supporting Ukraine, we are fighting a war without fighting it. We cannot live in a world where one country can just take another.
Speaker Johnsonβs America Last Act includes $481 MILLION for Ukrainian refugee aid.
Why would a single Republican support exacerbating our national debt to pay for housing, medical, and legal assistance for Ukrainians?
@SenRickScott You grew up poor and as an adult decided to defraud federal and state programs designed to assist the poor. Now you want to defund those programs and another created to prevent the elderly from being poor. I also grew up poor. The poor can have my taxes. We are not the same.
@0liviajulianna I'll never forget when at one of John McCain's town halls a woman called Obama a Muslim and McCain corrected her on to her face on live TV. That civility is long gone.
@0liviajulianna It was very like when Trump was president with one exception. I didn't cringe every time I got a news alert thinking, 'Oh, God, what has he done now?'
