Ugh, I saw my little 5 year old patient dancing suggestively, using a chair and wiggling her bottom.

I asked her to stop and asked her if her mom had ever seen her dance like that. (I knew the answer) She said, "No." I asked if that was because she knew her mom would not approve. She answered, "yes."

I had to call her mom in and tell her what had occurred. We both agree that we aren't trying to shame her, but told her that was a dance for adult women only. Mom agrees that we need to accept that kids can have sexual feelings, but that there are things she absolutely cannot do as a child.

My baby girl!!!! 😔 😟 🙁

I had to reassure her that she was not in trouble.

I just angrily called Neil Dunn, my rep.

I told the guy I was angry as hell about musk and what were they doing about it. He said that the congressman was looking into it. I then said in my very angry voice, "That man isn't even American. I heard he was here illegally. Why are you letting an unelected, illegal immigrant take over our government? Do something or we will vote Dunn out of office! One way or another, he'll be gone!"

Update: called prick Scott. Left a message. "Musk is not an American. He's actually here illegally. Why are you allowing an illegal immigrant to take over our government? This is insane!"

'I have a transcript!' Dem delivers proof as RFK Jr. scrambles to deny shocking comment.

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) confronted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his past controversial remarks about an agency he would oversee as the nation's top health official.

Donald Trump's nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services appeared Wednesday before the Senate Finance Committee, where the Georgia Democrat asked Kennedy whether he still agreed with his past comparison of the Centers for Disease Control to Nazi death camps.

Rambana suggests having a plan in place for those who are concerned about deportation

Rambana said undocumented residents must know their rights, and understand when consent should and should not be given.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - After immigration enforcement operations happened in the Big Bend this week, Tallahassee immigration attorney Neil Rambana said he has seen increased fear among people living and working in the Big Bend who, otherwise, have not feared being deported.

Rambana said undocumented residents must know their rights, and understand when consent should and should not be given.

He said if you’re approached by an agent, you can let them know you are exercising your right to remain silent and you are requesting to speak with an attorney.

More importantly, Rambana said officials must have a search warrant or an arrest warrant and both need to be signed by a judge.

List of companies not ditching DEI, found on bluesky.

Corporations are not great, but at least these aren't kowtowing to the orange blobfather.
