My sister is on a dating website for older people. She's angry about some of the matches she's getting. "I'm not racist, but I specifically said in my preferences that I don't want to be matched with any black men." Buy this woman a dictionary!

If money is paid out to military members as a housing allowance, only those living off base are eligible and it is nontaxable. If money is paid out to military members as a warrior bonus everyone gets it, but it becomes taxable income.

I'm getting my tax documents in order. It reminded me: whatever happened to those postcard-sized tax returns that Trump and Ivanka were touting during his first administration?

My Trump supporting sisters and I always exchange gifts at Christmas. Because they are STILL members of his cult, I decided I will tell them I ordered the new trump phone for each of them and instruct them both to let me know when their shipment arrives.

If I have to pay subscription fees to watch television, why do I have to watch ads? I understand ads on social media for platforms that are free, as there needs to be a source of revenue. But if I've already paid to have access to programming, I shouldn't have to pay for ads.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence. They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws. Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence. So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans. Enough.

#ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited Good morning, friends. The right people for your soul listen more deeply, support you more fully, show up more consistently, and nourish you more abundantly. Find your tribe. Keep them close. 💕💓💗

I spent the weekend with my Trump-supporting, homophobic, racist sisters. How were we raised by the same pacifist, social justice pursuing parents? Hopefully there will be no more family weddings or funerals for a long time!

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans. Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

Does anyone else feel bad for the Trump children? They will spend the rest of their lives knowing their father is a pedophile, grifter, criminal, and sex offender. Yeah, me neither.

I grew up on a farm. My dad was a farmer. Sometimes he wore a cowboy hat, sometimes he wore a trucker hat with a seedcorn logo on it. But he always took his hat off when he stepped indoors. I miss the days of simple etiquette, especially at the White House.

I went to the eye dr. today because I need glasses. They asked me to update my HIPPA form. It now requests my approval to disclose my reproductive health information. I declined. Why has this specific change been made to federal forms?

Could someone right now write the book about Trump’s cognitive decline & how the people around him know about it but are covering it up? Could someone please write that book right now? Instead of waiting four years? Thanks
