The Wall That Heals was on Manning, Iowa. Went with my veteran parents. My Dad served on the frontline as a medic and went to pay his respects to friends he lost there. What a powerful memorial, and a powerful night. Click on the image to see the full panaramic view of the replica wall.

For centuries, women have been described as soft, weak, and too emotional to lead. The reality is that women repeatedly have shown they stand for healthcare, education, peace, scientific progress, democracy and human rights collectively. Facts are facts. #Pinks

It sucks to know things don't have to be this bad. It sucks to see things others fail to recognize. Most of the pain we are all feeling doesn't have to be. We've instead accepted it. We've accepted it and blamed each other instead of blaming the people making the decisions that cause it to suck.

I toured the Los Angeles election office two years ago. It is impressive, but what is particularly galling about Trumo’s vote fraud claims is that they made special viewing areas just so anyone (including the campaigns and parties) can observe the full ballot counting process

Prices are up for gas, groceries, health care, & housing - and families are hurting. But instead of addressing this cost-of-living crisis, Republicans are choosing to dump $70 billion more for ICE & Trump's immigration agencies without enforcing any basic standards & accountability. It's shameful.
