Just got here. Still a blue state. Exhausted & very sad right now. Worried for my community. 💔 Making plans to help those in the crosshairs.

My dad warned me when I was 15 to never ever find myself alone with men. “Even at work?” I asked him. “Especially at work.” Yes, ALL men that is why when asked who we would rather be alone with in the woods, dude or bear, the majority of women surveyed pick the bear. 85% of violent crime is by men.

We have so many problems, but almost all our institutional problems stem from the radicalization of the GOP. Institutions are crumbling because of it. Checks & balances have disappeared because of it. And we can’t solve any real societal problems because of it either.

FUN FACT: If Kamala was POTUS right now, NONE of our trade or diplomatic relations would be up in smoke. NONE of our farms and agribusiness would be going belly up. NONE of the soft power we used to get great trade opportunities would have dried up. All of this was avoidable.

You know what irks me? Time puts out an article like this, but doesn’t remember before her death, his wife discovered RFK Jr’s personal journal from 2001, in which he recorded sexual encounters with 37 different women. She was so upset by his depravity, she hung herself. RFK Jr. is poison.
