Protecting the pedophile-in-chief. At some point, this has to stop.

Is Mitch McConnell already in hell? I’d like to think so.

Todd Blanche's confirmation should be delayed until he releases Epstein Files. Please pass it on.

Two months today since my son died. I have outlived both of my children because of our broken healthcare system.

I’ve been away for too long. My only surviving child died May 11 after a short but epic battle with colon cancer. I’m back home and have rejoined the Resistance.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

About 30 of us walked from the Fresh Market in Hendersonville to one of US Rep. Chuck Edwards’s McDonald’s restaurant. The Brass Your Heart marching band led everyone into the restaurant as they played and we marched and played for a few minutes, then demonstrated outside. What a hoot!

Ii’ve been away too long. My son’s cancer is stage 4 and I’m trying to navigate the emotions of the realization that I will bury both my children. I’m back and fiercer than ever.

I’ve not been on here much lately. My only surviving son has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and he’s not doing well. This sucks.

So, a few of us did a thing over the weekend: We called for a boycott of the McDonald's restaurants owned by Rep. Chuck Edwards and had a picket line on Friday and Sunday. We actually had a couple people thank us and go somewhere else. Please don't feed the oligarchs. They have too much already.

I’ve been offline for a couple weeks as my son battles colon cancer and complications from surgery. He’s mending slowly, and I’m back in the fight. Release the Epstein files!

I can’t even find words for all this. Our “president” posts a cartoon of him dropping shit — literally, shit— on all of us. 7 million people turn out to protest the uncontrollable toddler in the White House and our so- called leaders collectively shrug and say, “Meh.”

The average net worth of a health insurance CEO is $156 million. NO ONE should be getting that rich because we need to see a doctor.

Probably the same point as the did something about Mitch McConnell refusing to hold confirmation hearings on Obama’s Supreme Court pick for a year. No one has done a damn thing about any of this fascist coup.

20 years ago my younger son was diagnosed with colon cancer. He had no real access to health care and he died in 2008. Today my only surviving son was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer. Fuck.

You gotta give ‘em hop.
A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.
