@NancAdimora This is real freedom my friend, and it feels GREAT. However, I don’t think there’s a switch. It comes from self reflection, writing, reading, taking responsibility for yourself (healthy eating, healthy choices). I know people in their 60s still worrying what other’s think.

My friend worked a job she hated for 10+ years... a few years ago she decided to go back to school, & then law school & just passed the California Bar in her 40s. She was sworn in today. Don’t let detours deter you. Go get what’s yours!

I am not interested in identifying with or unifying with the oppressive force that enslaved my ancestors & continues to threaten my life on a daily basis. I am only interested in defeating white supremacy & building a world that values the life & liberty of all human beings.
@RashidaTlaib Sources say Boebert threw a fit and refused to have her purse searched. They allowed her to go through without the search. This is unacceptable because we all know she was bragging about bringing a gun inside before she gave her very public support to the insurection.
Just had to go through a metal detector before entering the House floor. Some colleagues are frustrated (guess which ones) by this requirement. Now they know how HS students in my district feel. Suck it up buttercups. Y’all brought this on yourselves.
