I personally knew a close family member with dementia. I witnessed first hand the behavior which at times was aggressive. I hate that no one is standing up to a person who obviously isn’t well in both body and mind.

Playing Phantom of the Opera full blast at WH, not knowing what body part had a MRI, sleeping during a press conference, and more strange behavior on anyone else would have them quickly removed to get help. Instead the GOP continue to shrug or whitewash his erratic behavior as ‘normal’

Of course we ‘find’ an issue now on roof. Right when big storm hits

Yes, Meghan Fox, 15 year olds are children. Not barely there adults

Here I am at age 13 and age 15. I was a child.

Watching the in party fighting and can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m rooting for MTG

Had rain gutters cleaned out earlier this week. Still SoCal not equipped for lots of rain in a short time.

Rainy day. Tomorrow having flood warnings. 1-2 inches of rain

Today, we formally launch “The Diagnosis,” in partnership with Courier. This digital series is in keeping with my core promise to all of you —> focus on truth and issues that matter to all of us and our health. Episode 1: The Threats to SNAP Please tune in! @couriernewsroom.bsky.social

The drama is called Fangs of Fortune, for those curious, and it is full of beautiful people and a stunning visuals and a brilliant story . . . and I still don’t think I’m emotionally ready to dive back in yet but I WANT TO.

Big news that Trump is going to war with Congresswoman (no quotes needed) Marjorie Taylor Greene. But not big enough to distract us from the Epstein files.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

I will ALWAYS support survivors

And I will block anyone who discounts the survivors or say to ‘move on’. NO, I will not move on.

It got so bad I said-enough. Those same ppl would call me a liar and more. The Epstein files NEED to released. Those who abused the survivors, no matter who they were, need to pay the consequences of their vile actions.

Or FOX reporter saying it’s not being a pedophile with teen girls. How ppl continue to want to hear/read the survivors accounts of abuse ad nausea yet discount/dont believe them. I had similar experience where ppl would ask me to share stories

As a survivor of s*x abuse, I can personally say I’ve been to TONS of therapy to help with the PTSD. I attempted to unalive myself in college as the pain was too much. It angers me how some in the GOP continue to try to stop the Epstein files from being released 1/2

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

🚨 NEW: More Republicans are quietly telling Rep Thomas Massie they plan to vote to release the files, and he predicts this could snowball. “Trump will protect you… if you vote to cover up for pedophiles… but… this vote is going to be on your record longer than Trump is going to be president.”

These FOX reporters making allowances for the behavior of predators bringing back memories of those interviews at the s*x offender unit.

Meghan Kelly’s comment on 15 year olds reminded me of one of the inmates I interviewed at a s*x offender’s unit in Utah for my social work class. He didn’t think his teen victim was in fact a child either.

So basically the whole save the children really is it’s okay to abuse them. There’s a special place in hell for these predators

Sorry, not sorry a 15 year old isn’t an adult. It sickens me that some FOX news ppl who claim a 15 year old isn’t the same as a 5 year old sickens and disgusts me. Those so-called Christians protecting those who abuse children/teens? Disgusting.

Yrly went well. Now need to get a bone density test. This month has been intense with Dr. Visits, blood work, formatting historical, planning Thanksgiving get together, and prepping house. I’ll be glad when this month is over!

Cover reveal coming soon!!!

I really want to believe this will be the straw that breaks his hold, but fear the GOP will end up continuing to back him. We’ve seen that numerous times. I hope I’m wrong

THIS. As a survivor of s*x abuse the whole Epstein thing has been triggering. Hoping something that the survivors will finally get justice.

BREAKING: House Oversight releases damning emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate that allegedly show Donald Trump knew about Epstein’s conduct. I break down the emails at issue and discuss their implications. youtu.be/RW2-WcJVEWQ?...

FYI, I have updated the section of my site where I give basic information about #kidlit agents--what they do, how to find one, how to assess their website, resources to use. You can start here: www.underdown.org/agents.htm

Jeffries just announced House is going to propose amendment to Senate bill to extend ACA subsidies for 3 yrs, so GOP vote will be on record & pressure from public will continue. This fight is unavoidable & will continue. Stay strong.

I guess we know why Trump, Bondi, Patel and Mike Johnson have been covering up the Epstein files. I’m sure there is a whole lot more and a whole lot worse.

Lots of folks on Threads are talking about the staggering amount of scammer emails from people pretending to be book clubs, reviewers, and more. Seems like the endgame is eventually getting you to pay a good chunk of money for promotions and readers that likely don’t exist. Be careful out there.

Getting in ALL my doctor appointments before cost of health insurance goes up.

Whoaaaaaaaaa

Breaking: Mike Johnson just announced that he'll swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4pm ET.

I’m speaking as a survivor of s*x abuse. No one believed me either.

So more Epstein reveals tie 47 to him, but it only gets a shrug. Angers me that this man gets away with just about anything. I NEVER want to hear Save the Children from a party that cares less about children. That protects a predator.

No words. I’m a block from home.

A little bit of history worth knowing. If it’s history, they are trying to wipe it out, to make room for the absurd tales of eternal innocence that bring fascism and bloodshed closer.

Haven’t been to a good writing conference since my traumatic fall and the pandemic. Would love to go to an in person one. Admit sick of Zoom. #kidlitchat

Adelita Grijalva to be sworn in tomorrow at 4 p.m.

THIS

Remembering family who served our country today. Stepdad Elwood who served in the Korean War. Grandpa Console who served in WWII. Uncle Alden, Uncle Bub, and father-in-law who all served in WWII.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow. She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.
