The best thing I could think of to share with everyone on this day. I'm not into religion. Not into the stress that these holidays create. Very much into the peace and love that these two have brought into the world. Enjoy a few moments with Olive and Mabel. 💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵 youtu.be/zvfhj1Fb5-Y

🥚🧵 1/ 'Allies in Justice' is building an alliance of parents, families, and allies in the fight for justice. Children have been taken, trafficked, and killed for decades. It’s time to make them our priority.

🥚💔 Another, in a horribly long line of children, who are being murdered. From Foster Care to adoption, it keeps happening. She was 4 ft tall, 45 lbs, at 9 years of age when murdered. Imagine the hell that was her life. I look at her face and I can't help but to start crying. This has to stop.

🥚Court in Oregon has ruled that foster parents do not have to take care of the needs of LGBTQIA+ kids. It's okay to treat kids w/ intolerance and hatred. This law is going to lead to more suicides by these children, as well as more abuse and murder from the adults. 💔 lawandcrime.com/high-profile...

To hear the majority tell it, Oregon focuses on parental speech – above all else – when it comes to adoption. And, the majority finds such speech to be mandatory.

Dear US Media covering Combover Caligula's speech: if you can spell things like: "Disinformation" "Misinformation" "Fibs" "Untruths" "Fabrications" "Demonstrable falsehoods" “Plays loosely w/facts” "Mendacity" "Prevarications” Or "whoppers" Then you're probably able to spell the word “lies.”

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration.
