The SAVE Act doesn’t save anything. Its main effect is to make it harder for women to vote, especially those like me who changed our names when we married.

GOP Plan: Deny MILLIONS of Women the Right to Vote

They see the election results, and they know women are a threat to their majority.

The world is about to change. Before I can start to face those changes I want to say "THANK YOU" Mr. President and Madam Vice President. You brought fairness and decency back to the people's house. I will always be proud of voting for each of you!

Here is some truth!

I’ve been living in Southern California for 46 years and the climate and weather have changed drastically while I’ve lived here. There were wildfires before, one of my friends lost her house in 2003, but the magnitude of destruction has increased exponentially.

I’m not making resolutions this year. Instead I’m making plans to protect my physical & mental health as we fight for our nation.

Our foes are ruthless liars, but they can’t defeat us. What we must do is stay aware of the lies & kindly reach out with FACTS.

It won’t be easy, but we will win!

Share this with all of the trump voting women you know. MAGA is trying to take away womens’ rights, including the right to vote & divorce an abusive spouse.

First it was the Rose Garden and now it’s the East Wing. During the four years I worked at the WH it was a thrill and an honor to take my family and friends on private tours of the “People’s House .” This is just heartbreaking.

On Nov 6, I decided that, after 50+ years, it was time to walk away from politics. It was getting too hard.
After a break & some sleep, I see that the battle we face is too important.

Now I have over 100K followers on BlueSky & I want to thank you all for your support & for inspiring me to go on.

So, while trump is busy deporting brown people, even to countries where they face imprisonment, torture or death, he is giving asylum to rich white South Africans and halting aid to South Africa.

Making sure everyone understands: Afrikaners—Elon Musk’s people—built, enforced, and thrived under the apartheid system they created. Not just “white-ruled segregation”—it was systemic racial oppression to keep the white minority in power. They don’t deserve refugee status—they were the oppressors!

Don’t let Trump’s & Musk’s constant efforts to distract us keep you from focusing on the real issues, like the SAVE act, which will take the right to vote away from millions of American citizens. The voting rights of women are especially at risk if this bill passes.

The SAVE Act: Keeping Voting Safe for White Men

If the Republicans have their way, Americans - specifically women - will soon face an uphill battle to vote.

Please read and share this piece I originally published in 2022. Sadly, with just a few updates, it is still applies today.

Haven't We Learned Anything From History?

"Silence is never the answer..."

Cruelty in action…Kristi Noem, proud 14 mo puppy killer, has been confirmed as Secretary of Homeland Security. This department includes borders & immigration enforcement, & responses to natural and manmade disasters. This will provide lots of opportunities to cause pain.

Example, Alma at 14 months:

Several people have asked me how I plan to spend tomorrow?

I will be spending it the same way I've spent many Martin Luther King Jr. days - reading his writing and sharing quotes that move me.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

Maybe it’s time for California, with the largest economy of any state, and the 5th largest economy in the world, to use our money for fire recovery instead of contributing to the rest of the country.

Trump told Hannity :“Social Security won’t be touched...Medicare, Medicaid, none of that stuff is going to be touched.”

The House passed a bill that could cut $880B from Medicaid. Does anyone really believe our SS & Medicare benefits won't be next?

Trump claims that his tariffs on foreign aluminum & steel will encourage customers to buy from American companies. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

As fires continue to burn in LA County, and are erupting here in San Diego County, the Trump Administration is so focused on rewarding the oil & gas industry that they are denying the damage climate change is doing to our world.

On behalf of future generations that haven’t even been born yet, fuck the Trump Administration. 🖕 Donald and his billionaire buddies are just going to loot and pillage while the climate spirals.

Climate Change Will Accelerate During the Trump Years.

Trump and his billionaire buddies are hell-bent on cashing out while they destroy the climate.

The current estimate of today’s “No Kings” rally and march in San Diego is 60,000 peaceful protestors. It was a beautiful day.

They insulted, patronized & threatened him.Then when Zelenskyy didn't say "thank you" they cut off military aid to Ukraine.
When will Republicans stop being cowards & remember that the Constitution says Congress is supposed to provide checks & balances to these bullies?

Trump pauses US military aid to Ukraine while pressuring Zelenskyy to move toward quick end to war

President Donald Trump slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for suggesting that the end of Russia's war against Ukraine likely "is still very, very far away."

In February, 2016 after a win in the NV primary, where a large majority of people with a high school education or less voted for him, Trump declared "I love the poorly educated."
Is it really a surprise that he is now going to sign an order that ends the Dept of Education?

“This is what democracy looks like.”
It was great to see thousands of people marching through the streets of downtown San Diego. Even if trump doesn’t care, congresspeople who have been ignoring their constituents & supporting trump/musk would be wise to take notice.
