I’m a caregiver for my mom with Alzheimer’s. She once said to my stepdad, as he was getting grumpy, “If we were monkeys, I’d be flinging crap at you.” He burst out laughing, she often had good ways of defusing him. A must when one lives with a tyrant.

#OctoberBigDay Enjoy the birds today! Mom and I spotted and heard the Black-throated Blue Warbler for the first time this morning. *Don’t cancel Merlin users, please. Must you cancel the joy it brings us and shame us, because of Cornell’s abhorrent treatment of Jane Doe?

Wouldn’t it be nice if 47 would sign an executive order giving women equal rights in honor of Gloria Steinem and, of course, his love and respect of women? C’mon Trump, do something phenomenal for your shriveled legacy and actually help someone besides yourself. #ERA Ivanka and Tiffany count too.

MAGA tears over comedians and satire are sofa king sweet. The 1st amendment is 1st for a reason, so Donny, don’t be as sensitive as Putin, it’s so unamerican, like everything else you’re doing. And, hating your actions is not the same as hating you, quit believing everything you think is true.

@nbcnews.com Tom,Could you tie in the sudden change in benefits for advair to what the big billionaire benefiting bill undoes for the ACA&how many more are going to face the same, or complete, loss of benefits like the family that lost their son?Don’t go soft on Trump like Lester did in the debate.

I’ve lost $20k in my retirement since January, you hate me for working for a company that provided a retirement account and see me as elite, when you, as Americans (especially my white friends, like me), had all the same opportunities?

I finally understand trump, he’s out to get revenge on the world for all the times he was rejected. He loves screwing us all, so he can get the respect he thinks he deserves, but he’s only causing disgust. Fear isn’t respect, but he doesn’t notice or care to understand the difference.

I guess a TikTok account would be considered safe compared to DOGE; I’m off to sign up. Might as well be in good with the Chinese overlords and not look disagreeable to the Russian overlords, if we go that way instead. How hard is it to move to the EU? I’m anticipating hard NOs from MX and CA.

How long until Bezos programs Alexa to record all households that say “trump”, and the surrounding conversations, and sends them directly to trump for his review, with the personal info of those having the discussion? One week, month, or it’s already being done? Bezos is vying for top oligarch.

Trump’s cuts to the NIH will set Alzheimer’s research back 20 years. 20 long years of suffering for all living with it and the people that love them. We have to do all we can now, before it’s all gone and everyone will go without. Check out @maddow.msnbc.com 2/20/25 episode for details

Dictator, king, all the same. At least we know he was honest once, when he promised to be a dictator. Is anyone surprised he’s lying about Ukraine and Zelensky starting the war with Russia? He has been allowed to lie, by the right wing, for too long. Why would he stop now? I’d double down too.
