The last couple of weeks have been really rough on me, if I'm speaking super honest even worse than that,but I will say this:
1.) I am so proud of the little warrior girl I call daughter; especially with how brave and honest she's been.
2.) She and I need all the prayers & positive vibes we can get for healing and for justice.
How sad is this:
The US has the highest maternal death rate of any developed nation, according to the Commonwealth Fund and the latest data from the World Health Organization. While maternal death rates have been either stable or rising across the United States, they are declining in most countries.

I apologize. I cannot look at a Black Athlete playing for a Florida team with respect. I can look at them with same pity as I look at Holocaust victims who didn't believe Hitler would do what he ultimately did. @joyannreid
With all the groups that DeSantis has pissed off: Blacks, Jews, Gays, Woman, why have no boycotts been started? Why no marches? Where are our opposition leaders? @joyannreid
This is what DeSantis has created
#RonDeSantis, a Florida man
Had a Machiavellian plan
Based on “anti-woke” hate
In a fascistic state
He rebranded as Floridastan
To those of you read my columns, Thank you.

Can the family of Ashli Babbitt now sue Donald Trump? Will they soon be able to sue Fox News?
@joyannreid DeSantis is wrong. For some gender identity is not known at birth.
It is estimated that up to 1.7 percent of the population has an intersex trait. What does DeSantis due about Hermaphrodites?
Cult45 will continue to cult. It will eventually morph and rebrand but the same people polishing and stroking their rifles muttering darkly of race war will still be around long after we are gone.
None of this will change. Many will age out and die.
We have to coexist with them. It's a bad marriage, but we cannot capitulate to their inferiority complex.

From Heather Cox Richardson:
In Tuesday’s four special elections, Democrats outperformed expectations by significant margins.
Perhaps voters like the Democrats’ vision of a hopeful future and a realistic means to get there rather than Republicans’ condemnation of the present and vow to claw back a mythological past.
