Random wondering—Has there ever been whispering about Lindsey Graham being connected to Epstein? Not starting a rumor— just asking.

Wise words from @rbhubbell.bsky.social Spread the message: “Resistance is the only path capable of shaping the future. The rest is surrender. We must never surrender. If we do not quit, we will win. It is only a matter of time. It won’t be easy. Nothing worthwhile ever is. Stay strong!” 💪 💕

Aligning oneself with Christian Nationalist ideology must become a litmus test for exclusion from holding government office at any level, including SCOTUS.

If you still question the value of marching for democracy, please think about this- We’re on a long road. Any time you can be w/ others who believe in democracy as you do and keep hope in their hearts, is invaluable. And absolutely worth your time. And also—Visibility matters. 🙏

Possibly very unpopular opinion – I’m done getting upset about what that f-cker is doing to the White House. I’d rather find new ground, take the art and historic furnishings out of the building he’s destroying, and start over. His stain must be removed every way/where we can.

For what ails you in these crazy times—Highly recommend supporting living artists. Choose your genre. Then go find some live music near you. It’s guaranteed to make you feel good. Gives you energy to keep hope alive. And helps musicians pay the rent. Do it. You won’t regret it.💕

JFC! Gas prices thru the roof is not inevitable. It’s a choice that Oil companies make. Same with electric bills. Utilities and Oil companies shouldn’t be making a profit off our backs during a national crisis. Everything’s a goddamn choice. And we the people are never chosen. 😡😡😡

You know how they (read: GoP) are always saying there are too many criminals on the street and too many people getting away with murder? Just another confession of their own guilt, agreed?

Turns out changing a name isn’t that easy. My name is the same on my birth certificate and all other formal forms of ID. Until Medicare decided to change my name. And for some reason won’t correct their own mistake. Good thing no one‘s proposing Medicare cards for voter ID. 🤔🤔🤔

Question apropos of absolutely nothing: Without relying on the Internet, do you have a definition for “nooks and crannies? “ And you probably know who coined the term. But do you know when it was coined? Just a rainy Thursday morning thought task. 🙃🙃🙃

Now-fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem lavished $220 million in American taxpayer funds on a self-promoting PR campaign run by close friends. Where’s DOGE's night crew cracking down on wasteful and corrupt spending when you actually need it?   The American people demand an investigation and a refund.

I have a recurring vision of Clinton, Biden, and Obama going to the White House and escorting the most dangerous guy in the country out of the White House and onto a plane headed to Mar-a-Lago where he’s put on lockdown. Forever.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Since this latest war is obviously Putin’s command to DJT, the goal is clear— endanger US lives, funnel money to the grifting war machine grifters, destroy the US economy (read: bankrupt the taxpayers.) No policy. No plan. No actual strategic/safety goal.
