Cookie-baking, crocheting, dog-loving old lady who didn't expect to spend my 70s fighting the same racist, misogynist, right wing horseshit I battled decades ago.

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

"This is based on what I feel" is the foundation of all 'science' on the right, including when it comes to trans people.

The visitor survey for Presidential Libraries lists the DJT Presidential Library in the drop down of places you can rate. There's no DJT Presidential Hotel and Golf Resort yet, so I guess you can use it for feedback on the presidency as a whole. www.surveymonkey.com/r/PubPrograms

Despite living in this horrifying dumpster fire of a country we made for ourselves, I'm happy that Smoked Gouda Triscuits exist, and that I have smoked gouda to put on them.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

DHS wants social media to disclose anti-ICE accounts. Here ya go: FUCK ICE. I'm a 70 year old grandmother. Come get me. Please put me in prison with Ghislane Maxwell. I want to have a...word... with her. Yeah, that's it. A word.

Never my 1st choice. Or 2nd. Or even 3rd. But Subway delivers a consistent product at a great price point, perfect for when you arrive at a La Quinta with the dogs and you're too exhausted from driving through snow squalls to care what you eat.

No disrespect to Martin Niemöller, but can we just give that "when they came for the socialists" thing a rest, FFS? We've all heard it. We get the point. If you don't have a semi-original thought in your head, sit down and be quiet.

Just put the finishing touches on the People's (Gingerbread) House. I built the West Wing and the Panera Rose Garden as well as the Residence, but I can't get a good picture with everything in it. The West Wing is pretty useless anyway, right? Nothing good has happened there in 333 days.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

An entire sea cannot sink a ship unless the water gets inside of the ship. The same with the negativity of the world: it can’t bring you down unless you let it get inside of you. We cannot control what happens around us, but we can control our reaction to it. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

They're calling the July 4, 2026 celebration the semiquincentennial. Half of 500 years. Instead of fireworks, we'll continue this dumpster fire. Instead of parades, a bobsled run to hell in our handbaskets. No need to plan ahead for the sesquimillenial or whatever the fuck comes next. We're done.

This survey includes personal details to use when calling your elected representatives. Knowing that @fetterman.senate.gov has a tattoo for every murder that occurred while he was mayor of Braddock, I told him he doesn't have room on his body to tattoo all the deaths he & his colleagues are causing.

Suppose 30% of the fed workers who were just ordered back to the office now need day care. And let's say 50% of child care workers are rounded up and deported. Who's gonna look after the kids? I know! Fired Justice Department attorneys.
