Wow. What a disgusting human being Donald Trump is.
💔 A Heartbreaking Loss, But a Promise to Care 🐾 Early this morning, we received a call that no one ever wants to get. The police informed us that a homeless person had been found deceased on our streets—someone we have known and supported for over 13 years. Alongside them was…
I’m so impressed - my bus driver just stopped the bus & came out to find out who was listening to their phones on loudspeaker without headphones. She wouldn’t leave the bus stop till they were turned off as “no one else should have to listen to other people’s noise”. Excellent!
