People are not voting against their interests if their interest is white supremacy.

@MindaHarts I think men in general.

Heyyyyy white women! ❤️ You got us, right?

@joelle_emerson Go Joelle!!

Just spoke to a Michigan voter who thought she couldn't vote because she hadn't register yet. But guess what? Michigan has same day voter registration. We found her County Clerk's office and she's headed there now. I was almost in tears by the end of the call. 🇺🇸

Complex or chronic medical struggles are isolating. Trauma is isolating. Complex or chronic medical struggles are traumatic stressors-- & when we're trying to cope w/ all these isolating layers of stress, it can make us feel hopelessly alone. You're not alone in feeling alone.

This brings tears to my eyes. Just the way she connects with this kiddo. Yes, we need this in our leaders. It is about damn time.

That chronically ill person you know has probably never answered a "how are you" honestly. Instead, they likely shrug it off with a casual ‘it is what it is,’ maybe even laugh, because the truth is heavy, complicated, and they don’t want to burden you with it.

I wish I could explain how chronic pain chips away at your personality, your ambition, your mood, every facet of your life. It can feel quite torturous, very Groundhog Day. The symptoms may change but they all suck. And they chip chip chip…

Your tired is not the same tired as someone with a chronic illness. Our fatigue makes us feel like there is poison in our veins, as if each limb weighs 1000x pounds and trying to move through wet cement. You go to sleep and recharge. We don’t. That’s the difference.

@KayeSteinsapir I think of her and of your family often. You’ve given us a gift by sharing her with us. She was and still is a light.

@ProfeSteve1701 @RealisticPoetry Gorgeous.

@RealisticPoetry One last hope One last dime To hear your voice One last time  Rain filled night Left all alone Winds of fate So savage blown One last mountain I must climb One last hope One last dime. -Profe Steve

@melissajcave @RealisticPoetry Ooh that last line gave me goosebumps.

@RealisticPoetry Short silent space Its glass glazed with secrets A thousand murmured conversations The red box under the glow of a street lamp Says Come and whisper here

Just championed my son for standing up for himself at soccer practice today. Then he came home and watched this and felt seen and encouraged. Yes!!!!

Vice President Harris to MAGA hecklers: “Oh you guys are at the wrong rally. I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street” 🔥🔥🔥

No one talks about how much energy it takes to show emotion as a chronically ill person. Crying takes energy, yelling takes energy, etc. We have to suppress our emotions to conserve our energy. If it looks like we aren’t struggling, we are. We just can’t show it as much.
