Mom, wife, fabulous cook, so-so musician, better singer, struggling polyglot, traveler, reader, attorney. (I took the picture of the sea lion!) No DMS, unless I know you outside of BlueSky, or I know who you are outside of BlueSky. Otherwise no response.

Here's the list of the fascist corporate backers of misogynist, rape-loving and rapist-loving Vivek Ramaswamy and his sub-human ad against his brilliant and brave opponent Dr. Amy Acton. Read the list. You know what to do.

As a transportation attorney, I deal a lot in cargo theft. The idea of Lockheed Martin sending F-35 fighter parts via UPS from Australia to the US, routed through S. Korea & "somehow" diverted to Hong Kong, & now in the hands of the Chinese government just cracks me up. www.cnbc.com/2026/09/24/c...

cnbc.comChinese authorities reportedly in possession of F-35 components in Hong KongShipping giant UPS was sending a cockpit canopy and weapons bay door to the U.S. from Australia in late May when it was diverted to Hong Kong.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Why is Trump so obsessed with water free-flowing water? Gulf of Mexico. Lake Ontario. Straits of Hormuz. Does he, amongst other things, have a prostate problem? Does he miss being peed on? What the fuck is it?

1/ S. Carolina's a major recipient, running a positive net fed balance of payments of $38.9 billion. CA & NY, the country's primary "donor" states, run net negative fed balances of $275.6 billion & $76.5 billion, respectively. As a resident of CA...

1/2 The #DNC knew YEARS ago that Maine was going to be a hot spot, and a seat they'd be able to win because Collins is such a fascist-asskissing-dolt. & Planter was the best they could come up with? Meanwhile, some woman pops up when there's only 7 days to replace him. FUCK THIS!...

2/2 ...Schumer should shut the fuck up. Planter should run. If this woman isn't another paid fascist, he'll resign. Gov. Mills will appoint a replacement. We're at the precipice of losing our democracy as the fascists know what allegations to level at the right moments & how Dems will always react.

#Democrats :middle of the road, careful, cautious, AIPAC & other PAC recipients, who send strongly worded letters, & backhanded #TheSquade though they put Pelosi back in as Speaker (Pelosi is a backhander), & are doing the same to Mamdani et al, FUCK YOU! YOU are why we struggle under fascism now!

As a lifelong #Democrat, watching the meltdown by the corporate, spineless wing of the Dem Party over Mamdani & Friends' successes is a laugh-riot. We've been screaming WAKE THE FUCK UP, for decades. The only thing that has jarred them out of their stupor: The rise of Democratic Socialists. I ❤️ IT!

1/5 Last Friday, while at physical therapy, I talked to my PT abt the #Knicks, as he & I are both big sports fans. Somehow, the cost of tickets came up. I mentioned that #Mamdani bought an SRO ticket for $1,000, & watched the entire game, standing. He arrived by subway...

4/5 He yelled, "You're disgusting!" I said, "Take the hatred you are spewing, substitute the world Jew for the word Muslim & you have the same rhetoric that got 6,000,000 Jews murdered. He screamed, "How dare you!" At this point, (as this went down really quickly), my PT moved him away...

5/5 That guy will be at physical therapy tomorrow. So will I. I'll be wearing my Mamdani for New York t-shirt-with Mamdani's handsome, smiling face on it. The guy will be wearing his racism.

2/5 Suddenly, I hear, "He should take the subway out of NY. I look & see this guy wearing a huge Star of David. I said,"You hate him because he's Muslim." The guy yells, "He didn't go to the Israel parade! He's an anti-Semite!" I explained why Mamdani didn't go. He called me a liar. I offered to...

3/5 show him on my phone that what I said was true. He didn't want to see it. He asked if I was Jewish & I said yes. He said, "You're an idiot! You're a shanda!" (Yiddish for disgrace.) I said, "I'm a shanda? You're standing here spewing racist bullshit." He called me all sorts of names & finally..

Let's play #Trump or #CharlesManson. No cheating, now. You can't look these up. Who said the following: “I know and understand you are much more than what I think you are but first I must deal with you the way I think you even if that's only my own thinking and not you.”

My cat, Benny, recorded everything going on inside the house with my telephone answering machine by using the outgoing message button, and also played back messages before I got home--so the light was off and I didn't know there were message. This cat below--that's Benny-level intelligence.

Definitely the cat deserves an Oscar. 🏆 😸

I've been saying this for years. I also get laughs, but not to a crowd this large--not all at once, anyway.

CONAN AT HARVARD: “No university in our nation has produced more Nobel laureates or white collar criminals… so whether you choose good or evil, know that you are among the very best.”

It has come to the point that the situation needs to be put in simple terms: If you thought you couldn't afford #demoracticsocialsm, look what #rampantcapitalism is costing you: Your life.

My husband & I were just talking today abt these commencement addresses that are getting booed: "Dear Graduates, I stand here today as a person who will become a billionaire from AI, while you have no jobs, must pay for our electricity & water, & die from our pollution." Thinks: Why are they booing?
