Poilievre's rally here in YGK is in the local Kimco scrapyard. Right between the recycling & the garbage pile ... and I know just where to put him!

Rest easy, Simmer. What a loss for us all.

If you are in a tough spot in life, I'm sending you so much love and good vibes. Life on all levels can better, but the first step is reaching out. Formulating a plan, and starting a new routine in life. It's not easy, and it can be lonely as hell. But it's worth it!!!

Lady awakens a nest of spiders:

[Kristin Song @kristinsong3]

My name is Kristin Song.

On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.

At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.

I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.

The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.

So I did.

6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.

Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.

In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.

When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.

Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.

I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.

My father-in-law Ron passed away this past weekend. He had a huge heart, a deep laugh & love in his soul.

We will miss him deeply.

But ... if heaven has paint brushes, guitar strings & good friends around a campfire, I know he will be at peace.

Pretty simple.

To be clear, extremely rich people with stuff to hide and a fading grip on power are trying to sue investigative journalism out of existence. Specifically one of them. That is the real speech crisis.

Oh, @ducksgirl4517 ... I have a new idea for us!

Stand ri-ight there ...

When I have bad/unproductive days and feel like a useless waste of space Tyler will come in while I’m taking my second nap of the day and still make me feel loved and important. I love him so much 🥺

Hunh. Interesting ...

Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany with only 43.9% of the vote.

But because the anti-Hitler forces were divided, Hitler won.

Hitler then made himself dictator and abolished free elections.

Imagine if they had told Anderson that the night he played a shutout for his wife Nicole ... just crazy.

Per sources, #VegasBorn goalie Logan Thompson wanted to put a Cancer ribbon on his helmet design but was told he couldn't by the NHL. It is Hockey Fights Cancer Month in the NHL. Thompson is the backup goalie tonight against the #SJSharks. @TheHockeyNews.
