Truth.

I don’t think people realize how wealthy people live. Yacht owners have staff on call, including a chef, just to be available when they feel like getting on their toy boat. A Walmart grandkid has a $300M boat docked at an island and when she decides to take the boat out, nearly all the fuel available on the island is used to fill it. Our fiscal problems are not due to 54 year old people on food stamps not working, our debt is due to too many billionaires not paying their fair share.

Access to safe abortion is a woman’s right. And abortion is a decision to be made between a woman, her doctor, her family, and her god. ...Not a majority white male cohort of politicians with a false sense of morality. And your judgement? It matters not. <end>

Susan Roesel: I was 30 years old. I was married. We were happy. We were established. Our 401k runneth over. We decided to start a family. I got pregnant right away. Like right away. We were over the moon. I kept a journal of every day of the magic. I got a bump. …

That afternoon, as we all sat on the floor in a circle listening to a story, I bowed my head. When I raised my head, this little girl leaned over to lay her head on the little boy's lap. He very gently lifted his arm to receive her. I call this photo 'The Age of Innocence."

“Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said. We are at our best when we serve others.” Credit: Ira Byock

Why would McConnell put Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, James Langford, Rick Scott, and Ron Johnson on the homeland security committee? They were involved in trying to overthrow the election through incitement!

One morning a husband returns to the cabin after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out, since it is such a beautiful day. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book. Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says," Good morning, Ma'am, what are you doing"? "Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious"?) "You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her. "I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading." "Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to write you up a ticket." "For reading a book"? she replies. "You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her again. "But officer, I'm not fishing, I'm reading." "Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to write you up a ticket and you'll have to pay a fine." "If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman. "But I haven't even touched you," says the Game Warden. "That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment." "Have a nice day ma'am," and he immediately departed. MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

Chromosomes were normal. Isn’t that good news? Grief ensued. So did genetic testing B and me. I’m not ashamed. I never was. I’m what abortion looks like. So is the 13 year old girl in that recovery room. In Texas we’d be criminals. …

Dear White House Staff: •Nixon's staff went to prison. •Nixon did not. •Call @washingtonpost @nytimes •Save yourself •Trump's not worth it

The Republican party wants you to know that the student loan cancelation will cost $400 billion over the next 30 years. What @GOP don't want you to know is their tax policies from just January 2017 - January 2021 cost America $2 trillion in 1 year and $7.5 trillion in 4 years.

“To prove to her mother-in-law that she had been swindled, a Florida woman said she drove her to a nearby bank and urged her to try to redeem the Trump Bucks in her possession. “We thought she got it, she even admitted she got scammed,” the woman said. “But then giant boxes arrived at the house full of Trump checks and other stuff that she bought for $500 [from Trump] and that would supposedly be worth $6 million one day. We tell her she’s getting scammed and she says, ‘Just wait, Trump will make all the patriots rich.’” “It’s like she’s in a cult,” the Florida woman said. it’s a wise old saying, a Trump cultist and their money are soon parted.” Jeff Tiedrich

You have to go 2 days in a row? 1 to dilate 1 for a D&E It was brutal emotionally. It hurt physically. I begged to be put under. A kind doctor took my hand. His hands were large and warm. He told me I would be a mom one day. He was an angel. …

I woke up in a group recovery room. In a recliner. Next to a young girl. Maybe 13. She was also recovering. I took her hand. My milk came in. Nobody told me. It hurt in my body and my soul. I grieved. Hard. For months and months. I held onto a teddy bear…

the size of a newborn. I ached everywhere inside and out. It was a fluke they said. Fast forward four months. Pregnant again. Scared. Excited. First ultrasound. Baby’s gone. Go to the hospital for D&C. This is also considered abortion. They tested the tissue. it was a boy!…

“Today, Caroline Kitchener reported in the Washington Post that at least 51 jurisdictions in Texas have passed ordinances to make it illegal to transport anyone on roads within city or county limits to get an abortion. Their hope is to target interstates and the roads around airports to block off routes out of Texas and keep pregnant women trapped in the antiabortion state.  The laws also allow any private citizen to sue any person or organization they think is violating the ordinance, leading to expensive lawsuits against the friends and family members of the most economically vulnerable people in society. Antiabortion activists call aid to women seeking abortions “abortion trafficking,” which makes it sound like women are being forced to get an abortion, when in fact, the ordinances ensnare women who want to get an abortion and their friends, preventing them from leaving an antiabortion state. Even if such an ordinance is impossible to enforce, it legally endangers the people who would help someone trying to get an abortion, moving such reproductive care beyond the financial reach of many women, and makes people hesitant to help each other.  Such barriers are precisely the same as those for people trying to leave authoritarian countries. Someone who is prohibited from leaving a jurisdiction is not a citizen but a subject. Free and full citizens of a democracy have the right to travel, both inside the country and out of it. That right is guaranteed to U.S. citizens by the Constitution. But authoritarian countries often restrict travel for their subjects outside their borders out of concern that exposure to freer countries will weaken the authority of the government at home.  Crucially, authoritarian countries also urge people to turn on each other, reporting them to the state for punishment, often in exchange for a reward. Such a system breaks the ability of opponents to organize to resist the government because of the risk that their neighbors will sell them out….] -Heather Cox Richardson

They sent me to an abortion clinic. Me. At an abortion clinic. After 20 weeks, it's illegal, you know. It's the night before. I ran a bath. I said goodbye to my daughter in that tub. Just the two of us before the world turned upside down. Did you know...

Her head was growing at a rate 4x faster than her limbs. I want to be a mom. This is my girl. This situation could really hurt my body. She will be in immeasurable pain. I didn't understand "incompatible with life" I cried. I cried some more. I was already a mom. ….

Moms keep their children from pain. Time is ticking. I'm 19.5 weeks now. We are in Georgia. There's a time limit, you know. It's Labor Day now. Doctors go on vacation. Somehow the world around us keeps on. Not for me. In the interest of time...

Hobby Lobby took out a full page ad saying that only Christians should be involved in running the country. If you’re not Christian, and you’re shopping at Hobby Lobby, you’re paying for your own persecution. And if you are Christian and are shopping there you should know.

I changed in that moment forever. It's a girl! We had named her Audrey. Audrey Roesel -- the girl who will make me a mom. She was missing her nasal bone. Her kidneys were tiny. Her heart was missing a chamber. She had an extra chromosome. Part of her brain wasn't formed. …

I have a serious question. What was it that President Obama did that made Trump supporters hate him so much?

My sister told me to lay out 36 straws and see that there's still such a good chance that everything is fine. I didn't sleep. We drove up to Forsyth because that was the first available amniocentesis. The needle was long. The room was dark. The news was really bad. …

I was out at dinner with my friend Deb. I stepped outside. The day before on a whim I agreed to a blood test. "There's probably nothing to worry about but we need you to come in. There's a 1 in 36 chance something is wrong" I called Liza sobbing. …

“Mitt Romney, in his new biography, tells how a decisive group of Republican senators refused to vote to impeach Trump — even though they thought he was guilty and a poison to America — because they were afraid his followers would threaten or harm their families. This was exactly the strategy both Hitler and Mussolini used to intimidate the German and Italian judiciary and politicians in the 1920s and 1930s: it’s called fascism.” Thom Hartmann

Let’s have border security, by all means, but let’s be smart about it. It’s not effective. It’s NOT cheap. The returns will be diminishing as technology advances, too. This is a ridiculous idea that will never be successfully executed and, would be a monumental waste of money. <>

“House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has offered a bipartisan deal in which Democrats would help Republicans elect a speaker. In exchange for their help, Democrats have said they want a candidate who is not an election denier and who agrees to hold up-or-down votes for bills that have broad support across the parties. Such a deal would mean some security for future elections. It would also mean that a measure funding Ukraine, which is popular across Congress but which the extremists oppose, would get a hearing.  So would funding the government.” Heather Cox Richardson

Structurally and civil engineering-wise, the border wall is not a feasible project. Trump did not hire engineers to design the thing. He solicited bids from contractors, not engineers....

The “I’ve got mine. Screw you. ” mentality is unlimited.

2) except the Manafort thing,

The Obamas rush to cover for Trump's lack of grace, common decency.

3) and the Flynn thing,

4) and the Papadopoulos pleading guilty thing,

"If one person at your network has no integrity, that’s a problem. But if nobody has integrity, that’s a company policy.”—Trevor Noah

5) and the Roger Stone thing,

Trump would also bring back Polio if he found out Obama was responsible for getting rid of it.

1) Trump sues Scotland to stop windmills that can be seen from his golf course 2) Loses case 3) Refuses to pay court ordered court costs 4) Threatens UK government with harm to US-UK relationship if he’s forced to pay 5) How is history going to ever document the outrageousness

7) and the Kushner thing,

6) and the Cohen thing,

It’s going to be higher than $50bn. The contractors will hit the government with near CONSTANT change orders. “Cost overrun” will be the name of the game. It will not be completed in Trump’s lifetime....

8) and the Carter Page thing,

Off the top of my head... 1) It will mess with our ability to drain land in flash flooding. Anything impeding the ability of water to get where it needs to go (doesn’t matter if there are holes in the wall or whatever) is going to dramatically increase the risk of flooding...

9) and the Jeff Sessions things,

10) and the Wilbur Ross thing,

13) and the James Comey firing thing,

20) and the DJT "I sold a $60 million mansion to a Russian oligarch known for money laundering for $120 million that he never once lived in" thing,

18) and the Eric Trump "we get most of our financing from Russian banks thing",

31) and the Trump tried to roll back Russian sanctions the minute he got elected thing.

Am I a wall expert? I am. I am literally a court-accepted expert on walls....

19) and the Donald Trump Jr. "Our portfolio is made up of a disproportionate amount of Russian money" thing,

15) and the bro-love between TrumPutin thing,

12) and the Erik Prince thing,

He is shameless. Stands there and lies in front of a man who is fighting for his country’s existence and he lies about the ‘get me dirt on Biden’ call that led to an impeachment. He only met with Zelenskyy to use him to settle yet another petty score.

11) and the JD Gordon thing,

16) and the Russian propaganda machine favoring Trump thing,

I’m a structural forensicist, which means I’m called in when things go wrong. This is a project that WILL go wrong....

Tears. My dear kindergarten friend died yesterday. During our last cogent conversation she howled with heartbreaking despair because she feared she would not live long enough to vote against ‘that f*cker’. I will work hard to overcome the loss of her vote because it was immensely important to her.

The poverty rate in Arkansas is 27.34% higher than the US average, but wokeness is more troubling to a woman who spent $19,000 of tax dollars on a lectern to talk about it.

17) and the DJT "I have zero ties to Russia!" thing,

2) Messes with all kind of stuff ecologically. For all other projects, we have to do an Environmental Site Assessment, which is arduous. They’re either planning to circumvent all this,...

In France it is against the law for a provider to even question a person for requesting an abortion.

22) and the Trump International Corporation's mysterious private server connection to Alfa Bank, Russia's largest commercial bank thing,

Another thing: we are not far from the day where inexpensive drones will be able to pick up and carry someone. This will happen in the next ten years, and it’s folly to think that the coyotes who ferry people over the border won’t purchase or create them.

24) and the I won't release my tax returns thing,

3) The prototypes they came up with are nearly impossible to build or don’t actually do the job. This article explains more: google.com/amp/s/mobile.engi… And so on....

Wow. How Impressive and Brave. Our little Mazie woke us up one night barking until we turned on the lights. She stood her ground as she stared at the wall. We could not distract her. We finally realized she was staring down a scorpion. We do not deserve dogs.

21) and the Trump business ties with Putin's favorite sports athlete Fedor Emilianenko thing,

27) and the Trump companies business ties to Felix Sater, a criminal felon indicted for stock fraud scheme with the Russian mafia thing,

23) and the Special prosecutor being named thing,
