My oncologist broke up with me. She said my cancer is gone so we really don’t have anything in common any more. I beat inoperable, incurable cancer. I kicked it down the stairs, took its lunch money, & threw rocks at it as it ran away crying. Yeah, cancer, you *better* run.

The biggest thing we could do to upset #Putin is to declare we want to rejoin the #EU. Remember the words of former #Russian Ambassador to the UK, Yakovenko, after #Brexit: “We have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees and will not rise for a very long time.”

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity. Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

Just as the end of Nazism did not extinguish all Nazis, the end of Apartheid did not extinguish all white supremacists. They left South Africa and spread around the world. But I never expected that one would gain control of the United States. #Musk

"You'll never have to vote again," Trump said last July. Are most Americans okay with this? I don't think so. Time to take this threat seriously. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Trump tells Christians they won't have to vote after this election
It was not clear what the former president meant by his remarks.

I survived measles, rubella, & chicken pox. When I became a mother, vaccines were available for my son. I wept w/relief that my little boy wouldn’t have to spend weeks being as sick as I’d been. Thank you, medical research scientists, for working so hard for our benefit

I'm on an SNRI for chronic depression and anxiety. It is one of the only things that has kept me from gaming myself or truly sliding into the depths of despair (and I have tried so many things). The EO terrified me last night. This morning, all I feel is rage. Time to redouble calls/emails/letters.
