I'm so sorry that happened to you, Elizabeth. 🫂 I definitely empathize with what you're saying. I was a child when I was raped multiple times over a period of years, and it was decades before I was able to even articulate what happened to me, better yet to realize it wasn't something I caused.

Jodi, you are one of the sweetest people I know here. I wish I had your viewpoint on September. But you know what, I’ll try to absorb some of that optimism! We… got… this…? We … got this. <breath> We. Got. This. ❤️

I can define “Super Intelligence” for you as something that those who call it that do not have.

Obviously “Is”. There was movement, and it could have been towards food (yay) or the door to leave (boo). A treat is the bare minimum compensation for that kind of uncertainty! 🤪

I have to point this out: Jews ≠ Israelis ≠ Netanyahu regime Arabs ≠ Muslims ≠ Palestinians ≠ Hamas (In case of font problems, ≠ is "not equal".) The ones causing the problems are the Netanyahu regime and Hamas. Please direct your anger at them and leave the people to live their lives.

He stops and points out the two kid's drawings he could find with pro-Palestinian phrases on them, and we barely see all the drawings of doves, rainbows and the word PEACE everywhere. "Promote hate" he says. What Netanyahu propaganda. Does antisemitism exist? Absolutely. Is this it? Not a chance.

He was so indignant, because she ruined his scheme. How DARE she step on his big moment! He had a board of some tweets made and everything! Bottom line - we're assuming Eric Schmitt is incompetent, but I think it's important that we recognize he is both incompetent and evil. Like his hero.

Karinea di Medici @karithemed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

And think about it, this makes his response to Sen. Klobuchar make sense, which it doesn't otherwise. He did NOT imagine anyone would be able to ferret out the truth of the matter the way she did, live on TV, so instead of being contrite, confused, or embarrassed, he was purely angry.

Karinea di Medici @karithemed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

1) He actually thought he had him backed into a corner where he was forced to lie to protect himself; or ...and this is key... 2) He KNEW that Jack Smith did not go to that game, and the whole utterly meaningless trap to provide him a great viral TV moment was based on a lie, not a mistake.

Karinea di Medici @karithemed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

So how did Schmitt know so certainly that Smith would deny going to the game? Again, I see two possibilities:

Karinea di Medici @karithemed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Since going to a basketball game in Atlanta doesn't really seem to imply any kind of actual wrongdoing, I have to assume the latter. In either case, the whole board and gotcha moment depended on Jack Smith saying that he did not go to that game. Otherwise, there's no trap, no moment.

Karinea di Medici @karithemed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

1) Their presence at the game is actually central in some way to proving that they were doing something illicit or were part of some conspiracy; or 2) That the game was immaterial to the central accusation, and was intended purely as a gotcha.

Karinea di Medici @karithemed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I've been pondering the whole Sen. Eric Schmitt clown show from yesterday, and I came to a conclusion that I should have seen right from the start. First off, why do you set up a board like that to try to snare someone for going to a sportsball game? Two reasons I can come up with:

Tell me if I am misunderstanding the situation: a woman who has so much as a miscarriage can be thrown in jail in some states, but men who gang rape a woman for hours can only be forced to write a paper because anything else could “ruin their futures”. Fuck the patriarchy…

Stop telling women what to do. Stop telling us to do all of the work. Stop acting like you know more about our struggle than we do. Stand up for your fellow human being without any reward because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Ffs.

So the Squeaker of the House thinks that promising to do exactly the same nothing they've been doing is a great plan to win over voters? I'm sorry, I know that's not true, they've actually been keeping the soles of The Mad King's boots very shiny for the last two years.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Remember when they kicked an entire girl’s softball team out of the championship game because a player posted a private Snapchat where she was flipping off the camera? It’s funny how they never worry about ruining girl’s futures.

There's a concept I know of from a crazy sect of evangelicals called "name it and claim it". I've never believed in it, but hey...

Thank you, Nicole, for walking us through this. It's an absolute nightmare, and it seems like there's no one on the side of women, but it needs to be recognized.

If you're not familiar with what victims of SA/SV at colleges face when trying to get justice, PLEASE read this thread by @nbedera.bsky.social. It's no happy read, but she does a great job laying out how schools and the federal government have worked hard to make it even more impossible for victims.

My order of preference: 1) 100's and other big round numbers, 2) 20's, 3) 10's, 4) 5's, and 5) evens. I know it's weird because 5 is better than 6 but 60 is better than 50. I can't help it, it's the way nature intended it. 😆 Bought gas one time, and it came out to like $60.01, I nearly lost it.

On September 9 or 10, someone staged this protest at the Dallas Fort Worth airport ahead of the GOP midterm convention. Does anyone know which organization was behind it? We would love to speak with them. Please share widely!

I understand Dani, but that’s not something you can control. I’ve given this advice to my children - remember it isn’t personal and each place is looking for something different that what the others want. If this isn’t a fit, brush it off and move on. If it is, celebrate a victory and then move on.

Exactly! I truly haven’t heard it, because my main playlist is filled with the results of my highly eclectic tastes, which hasn’t (as yet) included her. Maybe it will at some point, but I don’t just hear songs on the radio much at all.

To extend the point, the thing they cook doesn’t even have to be even remotely edible, either.

The "Office of Remigration" funnels tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to foreign governments—many of them authoritarian and riddled with human rights abuses—to serve as third-country destinations for deported refugees. Keep your ability to feel shock.

The White Nationalist Buzzword on a State Department Door

“Remigration” traveled from European far-right circles into the machinery of Trump’s deportation policy.

The funny thing is that I actually (oh, this is painful to say) agree that “Artificial Intelligence“ is the wrong term. But it’s not “artificial” I have a problem with, rather it’s “intelligence” that I think is just wrong.
