Her storied 27-year tenure as the 2nd woman justice on the U.S. Supreme Court followed a lifelong dedication to advancing the rights of women. In particular, her work to protect, defend, and advance abortion rights and access.
๐๐ฅ๐น๐๐ผ๐บ๐ธ๐๐ช๐ผ๐ #HonorRBG and her last wishโ๏ธ
She saved the lives of countless individuals who were previously forced to seek unsafe abortion care.
Days before her death, Justice Ginsburg told her granddaughter, โMy most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is installed.โ
๐๐ฅ๐น๐๐ผ๐บ๐ธ๐๐ช๐ผ๐
We must do everything we can to honor her wish, fight against a Trump nominee, and continue her legacy of fighting for womenโs rights.

Justice Ginsburg leaves a lasting legacy for women's equality, and reproductive rights. May her memory be a blessing and her trailblazing quest for justice a guiding light.

So, I let a twitter response take me down a rabbit hole of, what I call, The Trump CoVid Disaster!
Starting with his May, โ18 decision to disband the WH pandemic team, Trump did all he could to AVOID taking ANY action to HELP America SURVIVE CoVid-19!
Jan. '20, #ConmanDon began his never ending; ignoring of facts, lying to America and deflection toward nonsense or throwing blame which carried on through out the rest of his Presidential Acting Gig! Feb., said it would be over by April; Mar., said it would be over by Easter!

No loyal, manโs best friend.
No Socks, the family cat..
No kids science fairs.
There are no images of the first family enjoying themselves
together in a moment of relaxation.

There are no Obamas on the beach in Hawaii moments,

Where did our country go?
@msfrogladie On 9/11/01 I was getting ready for school when i saw the first plane hit Tower 1 WTC, and I didn't know what I was looking at? I was asking my roommate if they saw what was happening and continued getting ready. I had to be at work in about 15 minutes.
@msfrogladie By the time I got to my school, the second plane hit Tower 2 WTC and I was definitely scared, slowly realizing what was going on. I had 24 Kindergarteners on their way our classroom and we knew not to discuss so I put on my smiling face gave morning hugs and carried on.
@msfrogladie By our first recess, I called home and turned on TV to find the pentagon had been hit and I watched in horror as the South Tower collapsed. It was a cloudy day in KCMO which added to the darkness. We then heard Flight #93 crashed in Pennsylvania. Obviously, we were under attack.
You say you will never forget where you were when
you heard the news On September 11, 2001.
Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room
with a man who called his wife to say โGood-Bye.โ I
held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the
peace to say, โHoney, I am not going to make it, but it
is OK..I am ready to go' cont...
I was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
tried to understand his words and as she realized
he wasnโt coming home that night.
