Hello losers. You’re a disgrace to Connecticut Democrats. I’m writing that because you’ve ignored my initially polite interaction which met with incomprehension and inaction by the #TorringtonDemocraticTownCommitee members on Facebook, Instagram and eventually here. I’ve emailed the website twice.

One fucking week. Shame on every member of the @torringtondems.bsky.social from Steven Ivain to Travis and Ed who stopped by and said they’d research my prior interactions and were surprised there was a @torringtondems.bsky.social account. WHICH IS WHY I EMAILED THE WEBSITE. SEVEN DAYS AGO.

Six god damned days for the @torringtondems.bsky.social to respond to the email I sent to the address on their website. No wonder we’re living in a republic run town.

I wonder how long it will take for someone to reply to my email I sent Sunday after discussing the fact that no one knows who’s running social media for the Torrington Democrats. Ed and Travis were going to find out and I sent an email on Sunday. Two days ago. Inept, incompetent, unfortunately true.

I think the @torringtondems.bsky.social forgot about their social media account here. Which is why they desperately need help. They’re not proficient, not proactive and not even professional. Their lack of interest is only surpassed by their lack of inspiration. And ignorance by their inability.

Let’s see how on top of things the @torringtondems.bsky.social is based on how long it takes them to respond. Then all other Democrats will see how lame they are, sadly. As a native, I couldn’t work with them if they begged me at this point. Just looking at their sad posts . . .

The @torringtondems.bsky.social inability to effectively use social media is why we can’t have nice things. Like a Democratic majority or mayor.

I’m getting less news. Barely any views. Don’t know what’s trending. Bluesky? I’m ending. Maybe I’ll be back. So don’t give me flack. Else, when I return. It’s you that I’ll burn first. Then move on to any more of you. So as I part ways, “Happy holidays”! So let me be clear: see you next year.

The new Trump Cabinet picks all share one trait with his prior ones like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dr. Mehmet Oz, Sean Duffy, Marco Rubio, Linda McMahon, Kristi Noem, et al. Not just they they’re unqualified. More than that, and since most Americans don’t vote for him, it’s not a surprise that . . .

When I said “there will never be another Republican president after Trump” I meant it. Still do. But, god motherfucking shit on a shingle bloody hell in a handbasket damn it all to hell and back I did not expect a second erroneous Trump term. Still, there won’t be. He’s the worst. And the last.

I’ll #FBR any true #BlueCrew member this #Caturday because I want more #BlueSkyCrew followers. I feel like #BlueSky has shadow-banned me for posting Trump truths to the powers that be. I’m not stopping. To paraphrase, “When you’re a former Twitter star, they let you do it. You can do anything”!

Start the #resistance now. Document all starting now. Do not let the inmates run the asylum without notice. Trump’s insane and so are his Cabinet choices so far. Check him and them at all times, and don’t ever quit. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

And of course, there are Republicans who’ll say, “well, I don’t believe everything you’ve mentioned” and to them I always say, “then why are you a Republican?”! Usually, they’re never read the still valid 2016 #GOPPlatform. I have. Their ignorance isn’t bliss. Shame on their lackadaisical asses.
