Holy crap, willow. That's an awful nightmare. I think there's a lot of heightened fear and worry going around, and not without reason. Yesterday, I took my little ones for a fall walk not knowing there was a pro-45 rally type thing going on. I didn't want to alarm them, so we kept to our destination. But on the way home, with trucks zooming down small town streets flying trump flags along side confederate flags and the US flag had my hackles up. We hurried home, with me looking over my shoulders and being very aware.

Fuck. That's going to screw over so many seniors. This needs to be run in ads on repeat. Especially in high senior states, like Florida and Texas.

I... need more info on this. My parents rely on Medicare and their SS to live. What the fuck does this mean for them? PDQ- my dads retirement funds tanked in the 2008-09 recession and he lost a lot but couldnāt stay working long enough to recoup the losses. So they rely heavily on their SS. Weāve already had to make some financial adjustments for them already but this sounds like it would.... end their SS income? Am I understanding that right? I need a paper bag. Deep breaths. Trump canāt win. He canāt.

Iām feeling very low about everything this week. They are going to push through a SC appointment and we wonāt be able to do anything. There is so much doubt already sown in the election that even if Joe wins, Iām scared about what trump will do you not concede and his rabid base will do. I just donāt get how people can not see how selfish and corrupt he is.

The Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt is presiding over RBGs service. She has a lovely voice.

Thanks all, I mean we are all fine so it feels silly to say out loud how shaken the nightmare made me. Iām prone to nightmares as my main PTSD symptom but this kind of theme was a new one. I hate that this is where the world is while we all raise our children.

One officer has been charged in the death of Breonna Taylor. One. And his bail is set at $15,000, while protestors have had bail in the tens of thousands š Does anyone know what kind of sentence a wanton endangerment conviction could bring?

I'm listening to the press conference. They split criminal and civil between state and feds. The KY AG is speaking.
WOW video footage doesnt begin until patrol officers arrived.

From what I've seen on Twitter, max 5 years for each count. So assuming served consecutively and not concurrently, up to 15 years. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, my legal education consists entirely of high school mock trial and every episode of Law & Order.
