I absolutely love, without sarcasm, the four or five people i follow speaking no, BELTING out their personal truths repeatedly every night because they refused to be gaslit, made to feel less, made to feel Othered, and denied validation.

Its legitimately inspiring and fuckin uplifting.

I see you.

@AlliFlowers we focus on Texas and Florida at everyone's peril. this is a national crisis

@AlliFlowers

Yes, this is exactly my point. It should be a normal criminal charge.
The GQP is, in fact, really abusing the justice system for a political witch hunt.

Sarah Palin is amazing. Simply amazing.

She still thinks that she's "one of the good guys!" Simply amazing!

@AlliFlowers Palin- She was such a frontier, folksy flawed logic, tell it like it isn’t, 1+1=3 big mouth, and the base lapped her up to their detriment. There was a strong argument that she was not properly vetted by Team McCain.
