I have a theory. Remember when Trump said he wouldn’t be taking the Qatari plane back from Turkey and was “showing it off to the military” and was instead going to take Airforce 1? Then people speculated it was because Airforce 1 had different or better technology? Then it turns out

I feel robbed of the opportunity to properly celebrate Mitch McConnell’s death at the time it happened. It’s like when you celebrate Christmas late with your other grandparents, and it’s still great, but just not the same as doing it on the real day. #EternityLeave #Turtle

A friend asked for advice re: middle school daughter wanting to join an ICE protest but the dad was making her feel guilty about it. Here was my response: You can tell her it’s ok to stand up for what you believe in even if it disappoints people because it is always right to do the right thing. 1/3

Do you think Markwayne Mullin will have to use Kristi Noem’s special sex plane, or will he be issued his own? 🤔

People forget the “trouble” in making good trouble. I am so proud of all of the school children who are protesting. And I think it is appropriate that they face some level of consequence for missing school, such as being marked for an unexcused absence.

If they weren’t classy, it would be funny if the Obamas posted a video with Trump’s and Epstein’s faces on little dogs that run around humping everything.

If a dirty wet cigarette butt found at the bottom of a greasy puddle in the parking lot of a truckstop adult shop was a person, it would be Kid Rock.

Too many people are mad about kids attending protests, and not enough people are mad about kids appearing in the Epstein files.

If someone accused Tom Hanks or Bill Nye of rape or child SA, most people would severely question it because their character doesn’t align with that perception. But the man who brags of grabbing women by the pussy, brags about seen undressed teens at a pageant he owns, and who has decades

If we’re all getting paid to protest today, shouldn’t the pro-capitalist party be celebrating the boost to the economy? 🤔

Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.

I know it’s none of my business, but I’d really like an update on Stephen Miller’s wife leaving him for Elon Musk to cheer me up in these dark times.

It’s important to note that they aren’t banning puberty blockers. They are only banning them for the treatment of gender dysphoria. For any other condition they can still be prescribed. I think there is a word for this? Discrimin-something?

Oregon lawmakers should VOTE NO on HB 3835 which loosens protections for foster youth, and reopens the floodgates to sending vulnerable kids to abusive residential programs out of state again. Kids deserve better! #ORPOL #TTI #FosterYouth #FosterCare #ChildAbusePrevention #Oregon #ChildrensRights

#CorneliusFrederick would be turning 22 this year, free from the foster care system. Staff killed him for throwing a sandwich while his peers watched. 5/1 is the anniversary of his death. This is what the #TTI looks like. Look at this beautiful boy who was killed by his “treatment providers.” RIP

Educating people about the Troubled Teen Industry has been one of the most personally & professionally fulfilling things I’ve done. I am starting my unit on the TTI in my Children & the Law class next week. Future advocates coming right up! Once you know, you can’t help but join the fight!
