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.

*Surely, there are good people at Cornell, just like there are good people in the USA, even though rump was re-elected.

#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.

Agreed. We need to make the tent big enough for the entire human race to fit, we only have each other and this planet, if we can keep it … all together. We don’t need “big daddy,” we are enough to get the job done. “All together now…” The Beatles

So much for taking care of all the caregivers and everyone else that needs healthcare… HEY EVERYONE! THIS IS YOU! ALL THOSE PREEXISTING CONDITIONS, like MENOPAUSE, CANCER and whatever else is a cut on profits and you’re screwed. Capitalism is great, but not in healthcare or food where we all die 4 $

I wasn’t worried about outrunning AI, I’m far more concerned with it freezing our money and it claiming us broke, while a human on the other side laughs or while it does,to keep itself alive by having funding for its energy consumption.

Did I have to allow the IRS to withdraw my taxes today? I did, mainly because I don’t want an issue with my healthcare, thanks to the Affordable Care Act; thanks Obama (not sarcastically, most genuinely). I don’t mean to make light, I do believe fully and unconditionally in the rule of law.

@maddow.msnbc.com you’re a white girl, you have worked as hard as anyone, probably as hard as @joyannreid.bsky.social, but we know that black girl magic isn’t always honored like it should be, and that magic can’t always benefit reality or be seen or felt like it should.

🖕for feeling sorry for yourselves that it wasn’t served up on a silver platter, that we didn’t win the sperm lottery born with $400m,and that we all had to work as hard as everyone we know. Who hasn’t had a hard time? Who hasn’t had to work hard and harder?

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?

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks. The website to check linked in the reply. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility
The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

Good thing we’ll still have social security, with our retirement accounts dwindling. Wait, what? Social security is getting robbed too? I’m not sure President Thump understands the definition of winning.

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.

That’s why I’m all the more surprised at their audacity: They can’t seriously believe deletion will make people forget too. I hope this isn’t an indication they plan to limit our internet access and continue banning books. How will today’s kiddos learn history without the world’s knowledge?

I don’t think I’m going to watch either, I don’t want to give him the ratings and I don’t think I can stomach it. Will you please help to save my mom’s social security? I’ve always accepted I would never receive the benefits I paid towards, but please save hers. I want her to keep her home.
