when i was a kid we had to go to a church food bank to receive free ramen, mac & cheese, hamburger helper (without the hamburger) & other such items. I never felt "less than" but I also never knew who provided what we were gifted.
The church bought my mom a car one time when she didn't have enough to replace the one that broke down. It was an old, green chevy nova (now it would be a classic, but at the time it was "ugly".) I never knew who did that either.
Someone once bought me a pair of pajamas simply because they thought i should have some and another person bought me a backpack so I could join my friends camping. They saw me. They didn't put me or my mom down. They saw me and they wanted me to have something good.
Today I saw posts of people questioning moms who use foodstamps and yet have their nails done. My mom was mistreated by her grandfather, her father, and my dad who left.
Now I find myself thinking back and if my mom had makeup or nice nails, I would look back at her now and say "good. you deserve it. life has kicked you down and you deserve a little something to hold your head high about. Go on and feel pretty. Because you are beautiful to me."
So you can sit there and judge that woman using food stamps and having nice nails. Or you can ask her if there's anything she needs or simply just tell her she looks nice. Chances are she needs to hear it.
Dignity - everyone deserves it. Spread a little

"Florida PURGES ONE MILLION VOTERS from it's voting rolls" should be the headline of every newspaper in the state. 900k Dem and NPA voters are no longer registered to vote. If that's not election rigging, then what is?
Where is @FlaDems, do they even care?

I was invited to speak to The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council about democracy.
I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't voice the truth about my host, the Murdochs.

Someone just wished me a Merry Christmas. Me, a witch who celebrates the solstice. I didn’t throw a tantrum, I just smiled at the nice lady and wished her one back & went about my day because I’m not an asshole. If I can deal with that, you can deal with “Happy Holidays”.

Putin paid a bounty to kill American soldiers. @realDonaldTrump knew about it but did nothing. How can Trump lead America when he can't even defend it?

I needed this story tonight!
In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN. 💙

Spoken while touring an airport project that we selected... for funding from President Biden’s infrastructure bill… that Speaker Johnson voted against.
And after voting, twice this year alone, to slash air traffic control budgets.
This is, to put it charitably, unserious.
