@ducker Thank you for this.
They are my senators too, and I call, too, but damn it's hard.

Let's encourage each other to keep calling and holding them accountable?

Anybody else see the "Maralago Accords " as extortion on a global scale??

*in a NY mafioso accent:
"Oh, ya wanna do bidness with the US?? You're gonna need to pay for protection"

@aral I'll take that hug. I'm just speechless..
I mean, we knew he admired putin, Xi, Hitler..

But watching this makes me physically ill..

I know I am not important, I am just one small, insignificant American.

But I am ashamed more than I have ever been in my life to be American.

I don't know what else to say.

I'm sorry, to the world..

@madeindex your relative level to withstand torture?

I confess I make note of the date on people's profiles joining mastodon, as a measure of decision making 😅

I've been thinking it's a mistake to think empathy is weakness.

It actually takes a lot of strength to care about things, and the anger I have and a lot of people have can reinforce the good, and that, is how we win.

Thank you for your encouragement 🙏
I return it multiplied. 💖

In times when sadness, grief, and uncertainty feel overwhelming, even the smallest acts of kindness create ripples.

Like the ripple effect, our empathy spreads strength, comfort, and hope, bridging us together.

Each act of kindness is a light in the darkness, a way to lift someone up, connect, and help resilience grow stronger.

Every kind act brings us closer to a brighter, more compassionate world. 🌅

So today, I'm thinking about all the ways this awfulness actually makes me want to be my best self - do gardening, share more with people who need it, support more ecological everything..

Like my efforts need to be redoubled ..

The world would surely be a better place if a lot more of us do that, than be mean? Than do nothing?

I have so many gorgeous pictures 📸 that I never print out and rarely look at..

Am I the only one?

How do you face the overwhelm of years of pictures to make a photo book or at least a few to put in a frame?

I am so excited!

I feel like Biden should not have it this hard; there is no comparison between them.
- I hear people wanting Biden to do more, and all I can think is
- Do you think Trump would do *anything* for you??

I love NPR's podcast "The State of the World"
- I hope we can all see the world would be a better place with Ukraine intact. 🇺🇦

If I had any input with the media, I'd just preface anything quoting Trump with the fact that the man lies, all the time, and changes what he says from one day to the next - therefore, don't put any weight to what he says, knowing it can be a lie or change with his next breath -

You can trust nothing Trump says.
