One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

A #RareDisease like #sarcoidosis can leave us with more questions than answers. #Menopause seems to do the same. And when the two combine ... yeesh! Read all about it in this week's #SarcoidosisNews column: sarcoidosisnews.com/columns/meno... ~🦋 #ChronicIllness #SpoonieSky #GYN #WomensHealth

Buttigieg: Some say you can’t talk about any of the things that were wrong about America because that must mean you hate America. To me, anytime we talk about something that wrong, it’s because some of the finest moments that brought out the greatest character of this country is how we put it right.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

WILL CAIN: Joining me now is Democrat Florida congressman Maxwell Frost FROST: It's "Democratic" congressman

We’ve now sent over 10,000 letters to Congress demanding they impeach Kristi Noem! Have you sent one yet today?

BILLS WIN‼️ #BUFvsJAX | #BillsMafia

100% this!👇

“If you know someone with #chronicillness, I urge you to reassure them when they cancel plans—that you know it is not their fault… Guilt is our constant companion. We are trying our best, and we only want you to see and appreciate that.” https://cme.sh/self-worth #ChronicPain #Disability

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

I've been using a #MobilityScooter for a little over 10 years now ... and my latest trip made me reevaluate the whole experience. Read all about it in this week's #Sarcoidosis News column. ~🦋 sarcoidosisnews.com/columns/chal... #arthritis #ChronicIllness #disabled #disability #SpoonieSky #travel

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock? Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?

This Administration is actively committing war crimes, and far too many people aren't doing or saying a thing. When people ask how Hitler was able to do what he did, this is how.

Schumer really needs to be replaced as leader. We do not need, and this moment won't survive "I am disappointed." That's all he can muster, and it makes him the wrong person to lead the opposition to fascism. For the good of the country, he needs to step aside and let a brawler take his place.

Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Ok let’s keep playing this.

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Posted 22 hrs ago "celebsagainsttrump: Jim Hopper went off. I’m about to watch the finale right now. #StrangerThings #FDJT #Democrats

WTAF?!? I mean seriously ... I have no words, no wisdom, nothing strong enough to express my disgust, anger, fear, rage ... there is no bottom - it literally gets worse EVERY DAY. I can't write/post every time he does something horrific, but not posting does not feel right either. So ... WTAF?! 🤬

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Saw this in another forum, & thought there are a lot of us who could use this lesson. ~🦋

The news shouldn’t be left versus right. It should be factual. It shouldn’t be driven by the people, it should be informing the people. It shouldn’t pander, engage in speculation or hyperbole. It should educate. It should provide context. It should expose you to experts in various fields.

Happy New Year! May 2026 bring us peace, justice, joy, and an end to needless cruelty and suffering. And may each of us feel seen, respected, and valued for who we are, exactly as we are. ~🦋

As we move into Hate Yourself Publicly Season, I also wish for us a year in which we have the courage to value ourselves for who we are & not hate ourselves for who we're not, a year in which we listen not to those who line their pockets with our insecurities, but to voices of tenderness & respect.

I have 3 notes tonight/this morning: 1. Happy new year. May 2026 bring accountability, humanity, and an end to needless cruelty and suffering. 2. Congratulations, Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! 3. #StrangerThings finale was awesome. Well done, Duffer bros. Ok, good night! ~🦋

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

This Christmas, I have just one wish for you: Take a moment to really see the older people in your life. Let them know they’re loved, valued, and never invisible. Share a smile with an elder you don’t know. Offer a warm holiday greeting. Small gestures carry enormous power. Love,
 Lynda 🎄✨

Me too. How about you?

Not just women, but also LGBTQ+ people, ethic/racial minorities, people with disabilities, religious minorities, et cetera.

#GVerse What a lovely tribute! #RobReiner Incredibly powerful and moving!

You woke up. You got out of bed. You got dressed. These may seem like small things. When you're living with a chronic illness, these small things may take enormous effort and determination. Not everyone will understand your accomplishment today. WELL DONE, MY FRIEND. ~Unknown #MySeveralWorlds

Ableism makes you think you will be the exception. Disability won’t happen to you. You’re “better than that”. You’re “stronger”. You will succeed where the rest of us failed. It’s not true. Disability can & does happen to almost everyone. It’s not a moral failing.

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet. Forever.
