You can do a simple google search and see the names of the many adolescents who were slaughtered in their schools. You can also do a simple google search and find no names of none of the zero adolescents who were not gender-surgeried in their schools.

Today’s teens are just like all the teens that came before them.

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Teacher: Throw away the cup and get to work. Thank you and please don’t make me have to ask again.

I think AI should refer to itself as “machine” and never use personal pronouns to refer to itself. The conversational style that mimics human speech is A) dangerous, and B) annoying. “Tell machine what type of pasta you are cooking, and machine will output cooking times.”

The Coast Guard in Key West rescued a very large sea turtle 7 miles offshore. We do not yet have confirmation that it ISN’T Mitch McConnell.

Every time he posts about “patriots,” I remember how much I hate that he ruined that word. We need a new word for the concept now. I know he’s done far, far worse, but I really hate that he killed that word.

Wildfire smoke has blanketed the area. I sent a picture I took to my husband. He replied.

if Lindsey Graham tweets that he just had a 20 minute phone call with Mitch McConnell, you know what, I’d believe him

Remember when George W. Bush called for Al Gore to be jailed and when Ronald Reagan called for Jimmy Carter to be tried for treason and when Barack Obama called for John McCain to be put in front of a firing squad yah me neither because actual presidents don’t do that shit

Transferring existing staff, training new staff, rebranding everything, and communicating every pointless change to all 50 states and other stakeholders … it’s nothing but SPENDING $$$…

Sometimes I feel smart and ambitious, and other times I catch myself watching the Roomba.

How is his message any different from an abuser who says, “Just do it my way, and everything will work out just fine, and if you don’t, I’ll kill you.”

When I was a kid, we’d see these summer carnivals pop up in the parking lots of discount stores. Those carnivals had more class than the White House lawn at the moment.

One of my beautiful dogs 🥰

Stan Kenton’s “Here’s That Rainy Day” from the Live at Redlands album is exquisite. When I hear it, I can feel my dad nearby. He’s been gone almost three years. What would life be without music? #grief #jazz #music

I was going to grab some McDonald’s for dinner, but damn it, I can’t find my ID anywhere! Anyone willing to show their ID on my behalf so I can eat?

> protestants fight catholics over lay ppl being able to read the bible instead of having it interpreted and told to them by clergy > hundreds years of war > US protestants become illiterate, don't read the bible, repeat what the megachurch pastors say is in there

My son got a kitten. Oh my heart..

The GOP has dragged us into the Middle East 3 times now and they have spent Trillions on it This is what Dems need to say Over And Over And Over And Over Again

First it was Gulf Of America, now it's Fuckin Strait. Is he going to rename every body of water?

They call it progress...

My kid’s sign for today’s No Kings is the same sign she made for the first protest we went to during this administration, about a year ago. Sad that it’s such an evergreen and necessary reminder.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could send this entire administration to the Overlook Hotel for a long, cold, snowy winter?

“But damage already done.”

The ICE shooter reminds me of Okonkwo from Things Fall Apart. When faced with the decision to either kill Ikemefuna or potentially be perceived as “weak,” he slays the boy. Violent masculinity persists in truly weak men.

Can we just stop it with the “blue wave” stuff? I’ve long been waiting for it, and thus far, it’s been more “a few drops of Windex.”

It’s my birthday. I want the Epstein Files. Thanks.

Right on, BG!

The National Guardners

Being ok with just a few constitutional violations is sort of like being ok with a little bit of shite in your brownies. You can’t tolerate any of it. The line must be strictly drawn at zero.

In Pennsylvania, if you order cheese grits at a Cracker Barrel, you get not-good grits with cold bagged shredded cheese on top And the old dude in the logo is creepy And it is super weird that all these people are upset about that logo It’s Cracker Barrel Get a damn hold of yourselves

A succinct way to describe a man I left: He thought Charlie Kirk “made some good points.” He talked a lot about being an alpha male. He also held onto the hurt of being passed over for the accelerated classes back in middle school. He thought Ben Shapiro was a righteous dude.

Everyone talks about liminal spaces these days. Liminal spaces are kind of my daily reality. Have been for quite some time. Anyone else?

Shouldn’t Virginia Foxx be sitting by a picture window watching the neighbors and getting pissed off about whatever they’re doing? You know the type.

All these buffos strutting around in camo and masks…it’s like some dude video game came to life in America. In the worst way.

"Democrats don't want the Epstein files released because it would compromise Bill Clinton." Yeah, no, I don't care who's in the files. If Bill Clinton is implicated, I want him held accountable. I'm not part of a cult. I don't give a shit if they're a Democrat.

No! Teachers should not have to post Amazon wishlists for supplies!!! Can’t remember the last time I saw anyone from the corporate world asking for post-it note donations. How about we just properly fund education???

I have a career with benefits, but when a family member needed intense and lengthy treatment, Medicaid meant I didn’t go bankrupt. Just one hospitalization was $24,000, and there were many of those. Just in case anyone thinks Medicaid is a handout for lazy people. I kept working. We survived.

Celebrating the memory of my father by listening to music he introduced to me, music that I adore. I miss him. He was such a good human.

Poster board companies will post record profits this month.

Heading out! #nokings

I do not believe there are Americans anywhere who are so frightened they want to live under military control.

He left out, “if you beat a cop with a flagpole, you’re going to get a pardon.“

Dinner a few nights ago was birria done in the instant pot, otherwise traditional. Today, I used the remaining beef and broth, and served it over bean threads with Oaxaca cheese and cilantro. Holy hell yes

I wonder how many Trump fans bought one of those silly Tesla trucks out of sheer allegiance to TACO. And I wonder what they’re gonna do now.

Relax!! He didn’t say girls should have “fewer dolls.” He actually said girls should have “fewer dollars,” so before you get all— Oh

Trump wanted to be president to pardon his own crimes. Now he wants to be Pope to pardon his own sins.
