@TheHost_ My mom has been a mentor with this org for ten years. She had preventative surgeries and had a sister pass away due to BRCA cancer. Hopefully you can find some local support ❤️ https://t.co/H1tUzwnBaZ
Broke: Born in the USA is a patriotic song.

The 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry captured a blood-stained, bullet-pierced Virginia battle flag at Gettysburg on this date in 1863.
Virginia has been asking for it back for over 100 years.
When asked about it at the @WhiteHouse in 2000, Governor Jesse Ventura said, "Why? I mean, we won. … We took it. That makes it our heritage.”
The previous day, the 1st Minnesota had suffered 82% casualties when they heroically charged headlong into enemy forces to shore up a gap in Union lines. It is not an overstatement to say that their gallantry possibly saved not only the battle, but the war.
Of their sacrifice on July 2nd, General Winfield Scott Hancock said that "no soldiers on any field, in this or any other country ever displayed grander heroism," and insisted that "there is no more gallant deed recorded in history."
In a speech in Cannon Falls, Minnesota on the Fourth of July 1928, President Calvin Coolidge went so far as to say that these men's heroism that day entitled them to the rank of "saviors of their country."
#ThisWeekend in 1973: 4 years after Stonewall, the first organized Gay Pride in the Twin Cities begins with a march down Nicollet Mall. In a sign of the times, the small event fliers are designed so holders can quickly fold and discard them in the event of a police raid.
millennial women, we are not going back. We’re not doing this again. Please eat. Strength train. Eat. Hydrate. Rest. yur body needs fuel. Your brain needs fuel...a well nourished woman is harder to control.
Do not let this happen to us again. We need to become the protection we didn’t have, because they’re trying to do it again nd they have much more effective tools now.
@madison_tayt I had a therapist give me homework to say affirmations to the girl in my childhood photo and it took me years to actually get words out and not sob while doing the exercise but it gets better ❤️
Nobody is coming to save your aging parent.
Not Medicare.
Not the hospital.
Not their primary care doctor.
When your mom gets discharged on 14 medications and three specialist referrals…
The person coordinating all of it is usually an exhausted daughter with a full-time job.
We need to talk about that.
