If DEI is an enemy of the State then let’s make it illegal for schools who receive state/federal funds to allow legacy admissions.

Another incredible visit to Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens

California has the lowest maternal mortality rate in the country. On a call to continue the focus on those populations that are slower to benefit. Proud to be a Californian.

With Trump‘s approval ratings among Republicans continuing to be high at 81% and only 6% of Democrats approving, when the Republican Party says they’re not in agreement, don’t listen, they are. This is what they want.

Next election can we set the bar low and not elect anyone who rapes children or supports those who rape children?

We are now living Kent State every day.

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.

It use to not be controversial to say that preachers should not tell you how to vote and politicians should not tell you how to pray. Those days are gone.

This new CMS release is terrifying. CMS is taking away state’s ability to focus Medicaid funding to serve the unique needs of their constituents. HCBS is going away in CA Jan 28? This means services that keep disabled /elderly in their homes are going away.

The GOP is stating everyone who looses their health insurance (Medicaid) will be because they either didn’t deserve it or didn’t need it (get a job or get a better job ). This is an attempt to shame them into silence.

Who will be America’s John McCain this time around?

We did not have to be here. I would say America is better than this, but I’m not so sure anymore.

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Half of new moms have health insurance thanks to Medicaid. Let’s keep fighting to protect it.

Adding to the cat pic side of BlueSky. Two rescues- Lucky and Raleigh

Anyone else thinking that Trump‘s increase to the military budget, replacing current military leadership with sycophants and his military parade is a way to ensure that he has our military’s favor if he ever decides to implement martial law? Or is it just me?

The problem is that people have replaced learning with listening.

Anyone else exhausted just thinking about living 1380 more days of this?

Flowering succulents remind me that beauty can be found in the harshest of environments

Reminder that beauty still surrounds us. We need only to look for it

FDR

Most insulting part of being in DC was being offered a MAGA hat. I am not MAGA white.

If the only institution that America invests in is our military than eventually there will be nothing worth protecting

Visiting Washington DC and am both uplifting and discouraged. I am determined to fight for those that can not or will not so that this nation will not regress but move closer to being the great nation that we state we are.

Huntington Library

My agency just sent out an email from our legal department explaining how to act if the government (ICE) shows up at our door. This administration is actually doing to America what Maga has stated Democrats were going to do. The government is in my business more than ever before.

Yesterday this kitten was wet, cold, filthy and starving. Today safe, warm, clean and well fed. And I’m the lucky one.

I am so thrilled to say that all 3 Sweet Treats kittens are ready for adoption. They’ll definitely need someone a bit cat-savvy to help them settle in a new place, but they are good, sweet kids once they trust you. They’re very cat-friendly, ok w/our dogs, but no kids, please. More info in thread:

Very thankful for the hard work of the firefighters under terrible conditions, and for the firefighters coming in now from out of state.

Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens. A favorite place to wonder wonderingly
