I'm a writer, special education teacher, nature lover, science nerd and mom. I have a novel I hope to get published and LOVE to read. Currently working from home at a virtual charter school in Michigan. I look forward to meeting like minded folks!

I love this so much, as a Special Education teacher and a person who always came across as 'off'

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

Yes! We live in a society that promotes and empowers narcissists and has for some time.

Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.

But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.

We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

I feel adrift and scared about the future. It has become increasingly difficult to look at news sources without feeling sick. I know how we got here but I desperately wish some humans would take a long look at themselves in the mirror and truly see how twisted their souls have become

I know there’s a lot going on, but we can’t ignore this.

Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.

Because if we don't, we are inevitably choosing to be destroyed by someone else who is bigger and stronger than us.

What this truly means: We as human beings must choose to accept that other people, who are different, have value and appreciate those differences. We must unite in this cause or risk destruction.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

A tweet from β€œDon Winslow @donwinslow” reads:
β€œBREAKING:
The US Labor Department announces that it is CANCELLING the October jobs report.
For the first time since 2013, we will not be receiving a monthly jobs report.”

When I heard someone say Epstein trafficked more than a thousand women, it stopped me cold. Then I remembered this and it clicked: it all ties back to white supremacy.

Epstein was obsessed with genetic engineering, eugenics, and β€œimproving” humanity, including his own DNA. It’s documented.
