This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

I just canโt get past the presidentโs family and his rich friends making $$ on the backs of our service men and women. This level of depravity apparently has not bottom. #25th #iImpeachConvictImprison

What a thought to bring us to the end of lent:
..."this is not a God who causes suffering. This is a God who bears suffering. I need to believe that God does not initiate suffering; God transforms it.โ

Love is always the answer.
