"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

My kid jokingly texted me asking for a million dollars and our iPhones both offered the ApplePay app automatically. It’s hilarious to me that Apple thinks that 1) I have a million dollars and 2) I would send it through their app.

Ruin a song by adding “In My Pants” to the title: Enjoy the Silence In My Pants.

I’m so tired of bread and circuses.

I was doing really well today but the Sadness has descended and I can’t stop tearing up. Ugh.

One of my all time favorite songs, and perfect for this time of year.

As a white American, I disavow Donald Trump and the GOP.

Tesla doesn’t have a flying car. At best it’s a car that falls with style. And not even much of that.

Cooler temps means cuddlier cats. #caturday

I have never in my life rooted this hard for cholesterol.

Pearl's new scheme seems awful familiar!

Voting is completed. Burn, baby, burn!

Indeed! 🖖

Become ungovernable.

Spent four days at Disneyland and bought almost nothing. They had a million adorable sweatshirts but it was 106 freaking degrees. Nobody wants to shop for sweatshirts in that.

How about raising sons that don’t make rapists their friends?

Why is the goddamn Supreme Court allowing deportations if it hasn’t decided if they’re legal!? What the hell are we doing??

God, grant me the courage to change the things I can and incredible new powers to change the things I can't.

Has anyone tried telling the Fanta Menace that he’s trying to put his name on another man’s grave and it’s really really weird? #kennedycenter

Years before their time. As usual with the Johns.

It’s never about National Security. It’s always about keeping Mango Mussolini’s grift secure.

When they said these men would burn down the world, I didn’t expect them to do it so relentlessly stupidly every damn day.

Crush the arts (Kennedy Center), destroy the civil service (DOGE), control elections (gestures broadly), dismantle the press (gestures more broadly), decimate science (NIH), and demolish education (DeptEd). The authoritarian playbook.

Having such a craving for a rare chocolate chip cookie.

This is how everyone who doesn’t vote, or doesn’t “do” politics sounds. Like an enabler. If you don’t take a side, you’re allowing evil to happen.

midterm Republicans aren’t “candidates” looking to represent anything or anyone they're seeking to become accomplices to get their piece of the action

You do understand that everything he's doing to Washington DC is about fortifying the city when he decides he's not leaving office

Jesus God. They’re building an extinction machine with AI, and all anyone cares about is who is going to do it first.

One guy should never have this much power to screw up the world. That was the whole damn point of the Constitution!

It’s so disheartening to know exactly how the next four months are going to play out and face the fact that not one person in Congress has the balls to put a stop to it. Cassandra has nothing on me these days.

Arguing over which fund pays to fill potholes is politics. Debating which children it’s okay to kill is ethics and morals. Shooting hundreds of people waiting in a line for food is a war crime.

Boy oh boy, if you wanna hear the loonies, go to your local school board meeting. People veer off topic like it’s their job during open public comments.

Welcome back, Senator McConnell.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

There are seriously no ideas left in Hollywood.

I needed this banger today. Enjoy.

They did 9/11 because they hate our freedoms and in response the US government took away our freedoms

Twenty five years ago, our allies stood with us, aghast at a surprise attack that struck ordinary Americans in the most ordinary situations. Twenty five years later we have thumbed our noses at our allies, insulted our friends and started another forever war. What a waste.

Stop stop stop treating this $5k check thing like it’s real. It’s just…not.
