Iā€™m on the šŸš‚ to philly heading to the sentencing of the most infamous rapist of all time Bill #Cosby.

We are hoping to see this criminal walk out in shackles for his 45year+ depraved crime spree of drugging and raping over 60 women.

Watch this space for pics and updates! #SentenceCosby30years

Graphics by @FrancescaRizzo Part of a 4 year digital campaign to raise awareness of the names of the human victims of #Cosbyā€™s 45 year drug and rape crime spree.

Dear not alive during #AnitaHill:

Those hearings terrorized us as we sat transfixed, knowing for a fact we would not be believed

or given a fair chance to tell our stories of rape and harassment

In America or in front of the United States Senate.

#NoBiden
#metoo #KavanaughConfirmation and his fascist Theocrat cronies Grassley and Orrin Hatch simply following the crucifixion of Anita Hill model of Trotting out dude after dude who told us that Clarence Thomas ā€œwasnā€™tā€ a porn addicted rapist. #longDongSilver

Door knocking matters.

I lived in Florida when walkinā€™ Lawton Chiles was a representative and then governor of our state.

Chiles was famous for walking first his entire district when he ran for his house seat and then won.

Chileā€™s Met voters door-to-door, town to town/1 Walkinā€™ Lawton m@et the people where they were.

Walkinā€™ Lawton was sneered at for his ā€œno chanceā€ Democrat pro civil rights campaign and for being a ā€œredneckā€

Walkinā€™ Lawton just kept walking and converting red voters blue with each step.

My Adoption advice for lesbians: Hurry up. Fascist theocrats are attempting to take away our adoption rights. ā€œfederal legislation could be on the way. In July 2018, Republican representatives introduced a bill that would protect adoption agencies with state or federal contracts who discriminate on religious or moral grounds nationwide. ā€œ

Ranked in order if MIST PROGRESSIVE SENATORS 1. @SenKamalaHarris

6. @SenTinaSmith

(Frankens powerhouse replacement)

10. @SenGillibrand

And thatā€™s who we hurt when we keep on tolerating abuse of these three power voices.

1,6 and 10. ā€œMy takeaway that day was that he had done this thousands of times.

He knew exactly where to put his hand.

He knew exactly when to drop and squeeze.

He was showing me he had control and power.

He was showing me I meant nothing.ā€ -me

-And thatā€™s why I believe 8 women.

So Iā€™ve been told that I shouldnā€™t be concerned over Senators grabbing breasts during photo ops because itā€™s not a ā€œreal issueā€
I am concerned.
It is a real issue.
It happened to me. In 1998, I attended the impeachment trial of President Clinton.

Iā€™m a presidential history fan.

Living in DC you have the chance to witness history.

It was a bitter cold January and I waited outside with lots of other history teachers and fans for entry to watch the trial.

Vermont is great. I get to see my rep @PeterWelch at the dump quite often. Today we discussed migrant children crisis over the recycling. Welch reminded me unless we #flipthehouse we canā€™t pass @senmerkley S3084 or @dwstweets and @repbass bills on investigating detention centers Welch listened to my Pediatric ICU experience on how we carefully weighed each child and double checked drug calculations with a 2nd RN before administration of meds to babies/kids. And that we had a detailed medical history, allergies, conditions and monitored for side effects.

Genocide does not require death.

Genocide is defined in many ways.

ā€œCausing severe mental and physical harm to the group is genocideā€

ā€œForcibly transferring the children of one group to another group is genocideā€

Hey šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø We are engaged in genocide. Untrained, unlicensed personnel giving anti psychotic drugs to migrant babies and toddlers in detention centers will cause deaths.

āž”ļøNo medical history
āž”ļøNo allergy history
āž”ļøNo experience medicating children
āž”ļøNo experience monitoring for side effects

What keeps me up? Babies and toddlers and children being given heavy duty antipsychotic drugs without monitoring by licensed personnel. We all know they donā€™t have nurses caring for caged migrant babies.
Deaths are inevitable.
This is genocide by the US government. When kids are drugged they donā€™t eat. When babies are drugged they donā€™t drink. When drugs are given by unlicensed personnel kids die. Our government is committing genocide. And they are planning to continue genocide on a massive scale. #babyjails

We knew they would come for us. They are coming for us. #lgbt #queerpol Using the excuse of ā€œreligious freedom ā€œ House Committee passes Amendment allowing adoption agencies to discriminate against #lgbt parents, single parents, divorced parents and couples of mixed faith. Theocratic fascist @gop strikes again.

Fight fascism.
Whether itā€™s Roseanne or your aunt or your neighbor. WP have let the terror of racism go unchecked, now we live under a fascist wanna be dictator.
Fighting fascism starts with you, up close, in your space. Fascism expert @massagessen says we canā€™t trust institutions to save us from fascism. We canā€™t trust congress to rid us of the rotting head. What do we do with this hate and shift hard right? Itā€™s global.
Solution is local.
We fight in our spaces having uncomfortable convos.

This day. So disappointing. I had just moved to Vermont. Was so excited to have a ā€œprogressive ā€œ senator. Well it was a bernie bust for me that day. Couldnā€™t even let us have one fucking gay day. But I kept on voting for him. He was a almost ally on votes most of the time and better than a republican. Then he runs for senate in 2006 and tosses us under the bus during rich Tarrant debate. I cried. We had worked so hard convincing Vermonters we needed to move from...
