Please give any amt to my CROP Walk fundraiser at events.crophungerwalk.org/chw/cynthia-... I ate peanut butter tortillas for lunch just bc I was busy & I love peanut butter. But it's what many low-income kids have to eat bc it's easy to donate. But it's not balanced nutrition. #MomSky #nutrition

It’s easy to support freedom when it protects people you agree with. The real test is whether you still support it when it protects people you don’t. Because every power we hand to the state to use against “them” can eventually be used against us too. 💙 #momsky #voteblue #teamblue #sheshed #usa
Illustration in blue and warm pastel colours, split into two mirrored scenes. In both, a large figure labelled “Government” controls a smaller person like a puppet using strings. On the left, the person is labelled “Others”; on the right, the person is labelled “You”. Beside each scene is the same checklist: “Spy, Censor, Detain, Control”. A surveillance camera appears on the left, while plants, flowers, a butterfly and a small blue bird soften the otherwise serious image. Across the top it reads: “Whatever you allow the government to do to others, it will eventually do to you."
