Four years ago today, I decided to move out & get my own place. No, I wasn’t 18 or 21. I was 53 & had just dragged myself up off the floor, bleeding, bruised & battered after telling my now ex that I wanted to join a step challenge at work whether he thought I could do it or not.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said this week that student loan forgiveness was "completely unfair" to "taxpayers that never took out a student loan." Greene's business had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven, which included the original loan of $182,300 and accrued interest.
HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who so generously reached out to help me over the 5K wall!! Each one of you is amazing and wonderful. I know Tverse isn’t really stable right now but I’m doing one heck of a gratitude dance thank you!! And

Feeling so triggered after reading the Park Ranger tried to get Gabby to "see the relationship was toxic", but saying " ... we have to worry about the safety, and not the psychology of it ..." RED FLAG: if an abuser is corrected, they will resent the hell out of it and strike out
@ACTBrigitte
I agree the family should have privacy. Side note: If you’re going to ask for privacy to be respected, you should be extending it to others - including those with differing views.
Did he already deliver the sermon about wives submitting to their husbands & turning the other cheek-so hubby can bruise both sides? I survived, & I still love God, but ‘religious men’ who told bruised & broken me to go back to my ex are why I refuse to step inside a church.
Got owned by my cat. I was laughing at how she refuses to get into her bed w/o all of her toys beside her. She gave me a look (see below). Then I realized I won’t get into bed without my phone and iPad … I’ll stop laughing meow.

4 years ago on 11/17, I started my journey as a domestic violence survivor. Today I end a 2 week step challenge & celebrate all the steps I’ve made - from the event that sparked the last time he hit me to 4 years of discovering the person I was meant to be.

Abusers attempt instant personality changes to "fit" whatever social situation they're in. Why? Because they can NEVER, EVER be wrong. NEVER. From speeding away to best friends? And the authorities didn't get it? Holy sh!t.
This is exactly why first responders of ANY kind need specialized training to spot signs of abuse. NOW. There are too many Gabby's out there. I'm one of the lucky ones. I left and got help ... but so many don't.

Abusers cannot deal with "correction" of any kind. The moment he say the red lights in his rear view, he was angry - to the point he initially tried to speed away. Then he started laughing with officers. Hello?! He tied to outrun them then was instantly "Hey Officer Friendlies!"?
You can bet other survivors & abusers are being triggered right now and going to the internet for information on Domestic Violence. PLEASE DELETE YOUR BROWSER HISTORY from your phone/computer. Abusers can track your activity. Reach out: (7233)
Rep. Vern Buchanan of Florida said the student-loan forgiveness plan was "reckless" and "unfair" to Americans without student-loan debt "who played by the rules."A company Buchanan owns a $50 million stake in had more than $2.3 million in PPP loans forgiven.
@NashIsHereForIt
. Right?! The GOPers are so freaked about about ‘being forced to talk to their kids’ (which begs an attitude adjustment in itself) about gays, trans, woke, etc. the conversations they’re about to have are going to rock their very small-minded worlds.

100%, the single most important thing you can do in response to this or any other political statement of any kind: Vote.
As to this situation, our country has long since lost the fine art of agreeing to disagree. A differing opinion now comes with true risk. Be careful.
Rep. Markwayne Mullin of OK wrote:"We do not need farmers and ranchers, small business owners, and teachers in Oklahoma paying the debts of Ivy League lawyers and doctors across the US." Mullin had more than $1.4 million in PPP loans forgiven.
@TomiLahren
193 republicans voted against the $35 cap on insulin despite knowing 79% of Americans w/diabetes or caring for someone w/diabetes reported taking on credit card debt to pay for insulin (avg. debt $9,000). Say “love affair with BIG PHARMA” again.

Ask yourself why anyone would vote for a party who has pocketed PPP $, but doesn't want YOU to put any $ in your pocket.
Republicans need a fall guy to blame inflation on - and it only seems like the fall guy is Biden.
In reality, it's really the American people.

After leaving my abusive ex, I follow a simple rule:
Be true to yourself.
All the rest will sort itself.
Rep. Kevin Hern of OK said it forced working-class Americans to "pay for other people's college degrees."
A corporation controlled by Hern had more than
$1 million in PPP loans forgiven.
Rep. Mike Kelly of PA said canceling student loans was "bad policy" and "unfair." Multiple companies that are owned by Kelly had at least $715,000 forgiven.

@gmrjr59
Exactly. I’m terrified for domestic violence victims. A known abuser just lost - and it will trigger other abusers. I left my abuser 4 years ago. So many are still in danger - especially tonight.
Trying so hard to stay composed but I’m beyond thrilled that both

Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida said "instead of wiping away student loan debt with a presidential executive order, we ought to allow people who are victims of predatory systems to declare bankruptcy." A company Gaetz where he is a shareholder of had $482,321 in PPP loans forgiven.
@GOP
“ … scary high!” Yeah. I see what you did there. Also see what you did here: EVERY republican voted against the oil & gas price gouging bill. Say “inflation” again.
Geez. Some guy walks up to my house with a ladder, slams it against the house, climbs up and starts stomping around on my roof. I get that my landlord called for a roof estimate - but would a knock on the door first be that much of a bother? Tempted to move the ladder …

Why? Getting another loan? Rep. MTG of Georgia said that student loan forgiveness was "completely unfair" to "taxpayers that never took out a student loan." Greene's business had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven, which included the original loan of $182,300 and accrued interest.

Yes! I've had a lot of people block me bc I've commented about other missing women - of color - regarding Gabby's heartbreaking case. Kept being told "Not now!" or "Stop trying to turn this into a race issue!". Public has no idea how many missing POC there are - that no one knows

@transpotatoface
If you’re asking: why NOW? Because her tragic loss means the world is watching, listening & talking about missing women. So we share about our missing, we try to educate & raise awareness - hoping we can bring them all home. Does this dishonor? No. Honor her - bring more home.
Are you living this? Are you with someone who only tells you what you CAN’T do? That takes all your dreams, thoughts and opinions and insists you put them aside and doesn’t care that every word, every slap, every punch, kills your soul a little more.

I’m here to tell you YOU CAN. I left him. I slept in my car for a while but it was the safest I’d felt in years. At first my kids didn’t understand and were angry with me. Now they talk about how nice it is to see me smile, laugh, joke and I don’t seem scared any more.
