My sister is dying. Only palliative care now.
Thank you so much to each of you who have been holding her in prayer. Or sending good energy. (Don’t stop yet pls.
Miracles happen.)
My heart is breaking
@realDonaldTrump
109K people ‘LIked’ this tweet. Folks, I do not understand why anyone, Conservative, Liberal, Republican, Democrat and especially a person of faith would ‘Like’ that a break-in occurred at someone’s home.
Aren’t we Americans better than this?
So my poor sister called me around 2:30a. She got up from bed and fell down. Hurt her arm and was in much agony.
Did not want to go to hospital.
Told her I was hanging up and calling 911.
She broke 2 bones, imbedding one in to the other.
Do you know how hard it is to. . .
. . . out of it & in so much pain. As far as I was concerned, it could have been Santa and 8 reindeer, as long as they could get her to an ER.
She often loses balance from meds she is on for cancer.
Oh this cancer journey has been so rough for her.
She could use your prayers
After director Rob Reiner screened 'Stand by Me' (1986) for Stephen King, he noticed that King was visibly shaking and wasn't speaking. He left the room and upon his return, told Reiner that the movie was the best adaptation of his work he had ever seen
@JustMeTurtle
You and your colleagues keep us living in a civilized. You may not hear it often but I told my kids now tell my grandkids. Water sanitation and trash removal keep us civilized.
Thank you
@Mark4Libertas
Yes. My Christianity pretty much boils down to Sermon on the Mount.
I do NOT see Trump followers as my enemy.
I just do not understand how they reconcile following Trump & following Jesus.
I expect ppl to be flawed; I am.
And Trump does not need to be Christian, just decent.

"...what a vile, racist, anti-democracy buffoon he was. This is the buffooning of the American presidency. This should not be happening."

Each person decides if s/he is part of the resistance. This is not a club.
This is a personal dedication to returning our country to normal AND then working on making it better.

Michael Avenatti, thank you for helping America out in many ways.
Yes.

Except one concept was left out: good consumers.
We need to be compliant workers, and active consumers.

Nope. They are concentration camps. Does not diminish the atrocities that Jews & others had to live in Nazi Germany.
Care about the people now.

two shots. No side effects either time. I am 71.
Pure relief. Felt like I had put on a protective coat of armor. Still feels that way.
I would rather get flu-like symptoms from
#DeltaVariant
than be hospitalized because I was afraid to get vaccinated.
People who have gotten vaccinated please share your experience so we can retweet. Aggressively.
The narrative of unconfirmed disproportionate horror stories is flooding the socials and it’s causing a lot of hesitancy.
. . . to call for an ambulance when you live in a different state from the person who needs it?
Thank god for 911 operators and EMTs.
Called my sister back til help arrived. She said, “Dee Dee a fire truck just pulled up. I don’t need a fire truck.”
She was a bit . . .

FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed to Congress that Russia is engaging in "very active efforts" to influence the 2020 U.S. election and to "denigrate" Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, echoing previous warnings by the intelligence community.
Niall’s posts always lift me up.
My brother’s dog. Audrey, crossed over the rainbow bridge yesterday.
Never married, his pets are his kids.
He is hurting.
Wish I could share Niall’s posts w him. But it is too soon.
Please hold my brother in your hearts
Probably my favorite stop on my feeding tours. They are nearly all related and I’ve brought them up since puppies with help of the mum Beyoncé.
Always leave here with a huge smile on my face 🥰🙏

Teens, if your school bans a book. Or books. Go out straightaway and read it.
Public library, bookstore, share w each other. Start a Banned Book Club.
Question why “they” do not want you reading the book(s).

Personal request.
My youngest is in ICU.
Blood clots from lungs to brain.
He has a wife and 2 small children.
Please. Please pray for him, his wife and the medical team

Everyone I see a well known name trending, my breath catches til I see it is only their birthday.
But, this is how I came across this wonderful broadway clip with Tim Curry, Carol Burnett and Bernadette Peters.
This is me earlier today holding our own

rally. My younger neighbor is holding the sign. Lots of honking, high-fives and lights flashing. More people than not want a decent America for ALL.
I need to back away from news and announce that we have a new member of the family.
Baby Teddy was born about 45 minutes ago. Mom & Dad are weary but healthy and happy.
And Teddy's big sister (8 years old) may never get to sleep tonight.
Thank you all from my heart.
To appreciate the beauty of the winter, it is important to embrace it. That shift will create a new love for the sub-zero temperatures and brighten the mood. I danced on the frozen Yukon river at -25C/-13F. I created joy, hope, healing & positivity. I am dispatching all to you.

After days of family members watching my son in ICU. In pain. Unable to speak but a moment here and there. Suffering mini strokes.
He sat up in bed. And recognized his wife.
My gratitude knows no bounds. Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.
Thank you. 🙏🏽
Still w my sister, surrounded by family.
Reviewing family stories.
Laughter & tears.
Do not know if it is days or weeks.
I do not want her to go. Oh my heart hurts.
She is my only sister. my oldest friend.
She-She I called her when she was born. I was 2, could not say Sheila
@realDonaldTrump
Donald is having a meltdown. Tweeting into the night and then back on early this morning. How in the world did this sad excuse of a man become president? The people certainly did not vote him in. Hilary had the landslide.
Neil Young inspires us musically & politically, so we contacted Spotify to have all our songs removed from their platform.
We believe in peaceful protest, & we’re doing out part to continue the American tradition of protest music.
“We Will Resist”
"Be ever vigilant, hold governments accountable, struggle for peace and justice." America, these words by Nelson Mandela speak to our time.
Let us hold America and every elected officials accountable.
And ourselves.
Down in Florida helping my sister. Sheila went downhill overnight. Possibly in response to new cancer Rx
Doc just moved her into ICU
Platelets count of zero. Tho they drip liters into her.
Red blood 7.1
White Blood 1.6
I believe in science & miracles
Pls pray for her 💜
"Our humanity is served to us through the eyes of those who have diminished us. And they serve us a view of ourselves that is incomplete. If we don't look to the bigger picture, our view will narrow to that which is constantly fed to us." Happy 93rd birthday, king Sidney Poitier!
It was our last day at Rehoboth Beach. Everyone stopped & talked to everyone in the streets.
Driving home I remember telling my husband, America is no longer safe.
Perhaps it was always an illusion. But it felt like the rug had been pulled out from underneath me.

@BillOReilly
no. They had a racist policy. That is why they were sued by the Feds. Trumps settled out of court by agreeing to change their discriminating policies.
OMG. Drinking tea while watching this and I spit it out all over my keyboard.

you owe me a laptop 😂
But seriously, good people, watch this! Just not near anything electronic if you are drinking anything.

Just learned that our representative,

has died. What a dedicated firebrand he was! Holding his family in the Light.
Safe journey home, sir. 🙏
I'm begging the American people to pay attention to what is going on. Because if you want to have a democracy intact for your children, and your children's children, and generations yet unborn we've got to guard this moment…this is our watch.
Let us not forget,
Trump was impeached for withholding nearly $400 million in military aid from Ukraine for personal political reasons.
So yeah, Trump did not care about
#Ukraine
.
Trump in September 2018 has some words for Trump today:
"Don't forget that's their territory. We have to help them… Tens of thousands of Kurds died fighting ISIS. They died for us and with us and for themselves… but they're great people…I don't forget.
Pretty exciting storm in

Presents for 3 older granddaughters wrapped. Don’t laugh but I use wallpaper. Have done so for 30+ years. I buy rolls at Habitat store. Lasts for years. Heavy, nice patterns. Great stuff.
