I hate to say it, but I agree with the original poster. America isn't safe for Americans, much less international visitors. Please stay home and keep yourselves safe while we attempt to reconstruct our country from its orange-tinted ashes.

A warning to anyone planning to attend a World Cup game: Do not attend a World Cup game in the United States. Even American citizens are at risk of being kidnapped, beaten, murdered, or placed in an inhumane detention facility. A football (soccer) game is not worth the risk. STAY HOME!!

I'm a multi-decade German Shepherd mom. My current girl was kept as an "outdoor dog" for the first two years of her life before we adopted her. She's coming along SO well with her house-training and obedience training. OK, Fine: this is a post about the #EpsteinFiles. SHARE THEIR EFFING STORIES.πŸ”₯

Just finished watching Benicio del Toro's "Frankenstein," and OMG, this was a total knockout. The world-building, the casting, the dialogue, the DARKNESS ... it was all perfection. Serious chef's kiss on this one from a lifelong horror fan.

When you've faced the Big C diagnosis and lived to tell the tale and a friend pops up in your socials to say, "Hey, so, I got a scary diagnosis ..." it's impossible for me to not go into mama bear mode. I will sit down and let the questions pour out and answer as many as I can. F*ck cancer.

Many of you are asking how you can help my work. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

All of you who refused to vote for Kamala Harris "because Palestine!" -- this gutting of the voting rights act is on you. You selfish, entitled, spoiled White social justice cosplayers.

When I die, I hope whatever powers that may be in the universe grant me with those needed to achieve vengeance on t*ump and all fascists, despots, and authoritarian wanna-be asshats. We desperately need to establish a true matriarchy if we have any hope of saving this planet and all who rely on her.

If duck ancestral knowledge passes down to the next generations, it is my fondest hope that the angry white child-free-but-protective-as-hell human being chasing the sh*t out r*apey ducks gets handed down ... generation after generation after generation.

Epilogue: if you are a rapist of any species, my home, myself, my dog, and my husband are your natural enemies. Try us at your peril. As for the rest of you who choose choice for both sexes: this is the f*****g way. /endrant

He did not, in fact, try again. Because the female's chosen mate showed up, wings out, ferocity at full power, and between her mate and me, that interloper decided to seek his fortunes anywhere but at MY backyard sanctuary.

I ran out of my back door to the pool, tennis racket in hand, screaming on behalf of generations of females of all species on this planet that TODAY IS NOT THAT F***ING DAY!

The r*pist interloper took off like I'd lit his tail feathers on fire. The female escaped safely to the treeline between my home and our neighbors on acreage to the north.

The interloper tried to dominate the female. The female tried to escape to the treeline. The mated male fought the interloper. The human who owns the property said, "I've had enough of this r*pey patriarchy s*it no matter the species.

That one never came back. I guess a manic screaming human being who will NOT allow this mess on her property was enough deterrant to decide that searching for opportunities elsewhere was a better choice.

3/? The first time we witnessed this behavior, the husband pretty much dismissed it. I saw it for what it was: a competitor trying to "claim" the female who had already chosen her male mate.

2/? We have learned (the hard way, after witnessing this) that competing Mallard males will attempt to separate the Mallard pair enough so as to r*pe the female of the pair.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Senator Josh Hawley, Senator Eric Schmitt, and Representative Ann Wagner: Yes, you all have emails from me, and I'm betting from a LOT of Missourians right now. ONLY CONGRESS CAN AUTHORIZE WAR. You wanted power, well, you HAVE IT. Now do something to rein this addled warmonger IN!

Seriously, what the fuck is this. This is completely deranged, and anyone who can’t say so is a coward.

Message to our lovely French friends and allies: We despise him, too. Do what you gotta do. We'll celebrate together one day. 😎

Add France to the list. One by one, U.S. allies are shutting their airspace to American military operations.

I remember when one ego-inflated male came into my mentions to say, "STOP USING THE WORD 'KOMPROMAT! You sound stupid." I did not, in fact, stop using the word than any of us with a functioning brain stem KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON the whole time. Sucks to be him, I guess.

At the end of all this, it might come down to who has the most damaging blackmail on everyone. We are being governed by kompromat. Under no circumstances is that ever a good thing.

$70 to fill up my Jeep Grand Cherokee that still had 1/4 tank when I began pumping. My husband and I have been strong earners and budgeters, so we can absorb it. But I'm the adult version of the child who lived well below the poverty line and I ache for everyone struggling now. Are we great yet?

Gen X-er born in the mid-60s: my path in life was a bit odd to begin with, much less what came after. But it seems only fair that we should get a CHANCE of a small window of normalcy beyond Papa Joe. Come the eff on, world. We've worn the yoke of stoicism our whole lives. Give us a break, would ya?

One of the best Superbowl vocal and dance performances ever. Happy, upbeat, and just plain FUN. PS: major hat-tip to Green Day. I needed that dose of rebellion! #GenX

The Fulton County search warrant & its implications for the 2026 & future elections is critically important news & not getting the coverage it merits. Read my most recent piece to get the download & understand why this is such a significant development. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

Spotted one of our neighbors casually strolling down the middle of our snowy street ... dressed in a bear costume. I have no idea what's going on. πŸ»β„οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I 100% agree with this. The regime is already a clear and present danger to its own citizens, anybody who doesn't have to be here should not visit anytime soon. Please, Northern Neighbors, boycott us. Take care of you. 😘

@mark-carney.bsky.social the United States has obviously proven itself to be an enemy of Canada. Personally, I don't think it's safe for our Olympic athletes to attend in 2028, and IMO, Canada should announce a boycott until a new, democratically elected government is in place in America.

This.

Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.
