Splitting hairs but he only won by 49.8% of the vote. Most of the rest of us are disgusted, exhausted, protesting, and screaming at our Senators and Representatives to do their jobs. The system that should hold him accountable has failed.

Good morning from France ☀️ “But to be what I am, to live what I was meant to live, to want to sound like no one else, to yield the blossoms dictated to my heart: this is what I want - and this surely cannot be arrogance.” - Rilke Be kind today 💜

Almost 3 years after closing my own art gallery, I’ve realized that I actually loved much about gallery work, just not the business drudgery. I’m delighted to be starting a job as a gallery sales associate. So glad to hear you might start writing your memoir. I’ll read it for sure.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

My 80+ y/o stepdad was a lifelong Democrat until 2008. He wouldn’t vote for a man of color, and then despite despising Trump, he wouldn’t vote for a woman. After the 2016 election, he continued to rail against Trump but never took responsibility for his misogynistic role in the election.

Nope. “Under North Carolina's constitution, Stein, a Democrat, is unable to veto maps redistricting legislative or Congressional districts. That means the new map would only need to clear the House and the Senate, where Republicans hold significant majorities, to become law.” -WUNC radio

MAHA sure isn’t helping me. Medicaid in my state won’t cover nutrition services but it will cover GLP-1 shots? Wait, nope as of today the shots aren’t covered either thanks to Republican cutbacks.

"Political violence is antithetical to small-l liberal democracy and the murder of Charlie Kirk was wrong" and "Charlie Kirk advocated for a brand of politics that was steeped in bigoted values and did not foster constructive discourse" are two thoughts you can hold simultaneously without exploding.

Women who were victimized as girls are not okay with abusive men avoiding accountability for the sex crimes they committed. I am finding myself livid that there’s a list of men who abused girls and yeah, we want the one at the top to go down. We want them all to go down.

Many small businesses including the one I ran for 12 years, don’t offer benefits. It was out of the question financially. The ADA including Medicaid expansion made having health insurance possible for me, my employees and also the artists I represented. We were all working already.

“How you treat the weak is your true nature calling” -Jane’s Addiction What the Republican Congress is doing to America shows their true nature. 50 Senators, the Vice President, and as many as 220 Representatives get to decide how horrible life will be for millions of Americans. It’s hateful.

I’ve been on Medicaid since NC expanded it as part of the ACA. Chances are that everyone reading this knows someone on Medicaid. Will I lose my healthcare coverage in the next few years? Maybe. In the meantime, every single Republican needs to go. They own this disaster, soup to nuts.
