We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave

-Paid family & medical leave

-Universal childcare

-Universal pre-K

-Expanded Child Tax Credit

-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.

The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.

Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.

Sometimes, attention is an act of love.

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

One thing I love about spring — how wild it is.

Dead things bursting back to life.

Everything is a little disheveled, shaking off the dull winter brown.

It’s bold and assertive in a way that the pastel color palette doesn’t let on.

My hedges look spindly. Trees stretch skyward as limbs unfurl new leaves. Dandelions assert their dominance over greening lawns.

Spring is pretty metal honestly 🤘

The Loneliness No One Talks About

No one warns you about the loneliness that comes with growing.

The silence when old friendships stop fitting, but new ones haven’t formed.

The ache of outgrowing places, conversations, even versions of yourself.

Growth is beautiful, but it can also be isolating.

Keep growing anyway. You’ll find your kindred spirits.

I guess you know more than me...huh Nancy...based on what? because you say so? I have shared a debate and asked questions. if you dont like my format or approach, dont come here. do yourself a favor. you have the luxury to come here and comment, no restrictions, dont insult me for I will insult you. thats the only rule we have here. we can listen to crap by you but I ask you to behave. yes, I think what you said is crap.

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

I dont respond well to insults.

I always look at all here as knowing what they are talking about...we have a different way of looking at things...but all should have voice

National security is a top priority in the scope of all the damage that has occurred in recent years especially. We can’t afford to continue on this path with China breathing down our necks or we won’t have a country left. Time to stop and reverse course. The General has a valid point.
