Nation’s dogs on high alert.

Vote for the people who don’t bomb or prey on children.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

The Pedophile in the White House just illegally attacked another country. If you voted for him you deserve all the retaliatory shit that will happen. Unfortunately those of us with a moral compass will suffer too. Along with the innocents in the Middle East and the armed services.

Where the eff is Congress?

Serious question: is anyone on the Hill talking about the DHS funding bill? It’s not even in the headlines anymore.

For Valentine’s Day we watched Harold and Maude, which somehow - incredibly - I had never seen. Loved it, amazed by it, and left wondering why cinema has never again reached the heights of the 1970s.

Fun fact: Spanish has been spoken in this geographic region known as the United States about a century longer than has English. Get bent, MAGA.

One of the saddest things about living in these times is having to feel such hatred, every single minute of every single day. Like, I didn’t know this much hate even existed inside me. Now I know & it’s one more thing to hate them for. A veritable Dante’s circle of hate.

I still don’t know how the hell we went from the beautiful promise of Obama to this. People, stop voting for racist pedophiles. (FYI Trump is a racist pedophile.)

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Democracy died in darkness because Bezos paid $75 million for a crappy documentary instead of paying the electric bill.

Men who tell women to smile deserve to be smothered in peanut butter and fed to rats.

A guy threw an unknown substance in the face of a Democratic congresswoman and nobody shot him 10 times.

I’m getting strong Trojan Horse vibes with the alleged news about Bovino and rumors about Noem. Please, Schumer, Durbin, et al - don’t open the gates.

Dear Senator Richard Durbin and Senator Tammy Duckworth: Do not be appeased by this apparent “about face.” Do not accept the sacrificial goat that seems to be Bovino. Hold your ground with the spending bill. No more funds to ICE. Period.

Silverio Gonzalez was murdered by ICE in Chicago this fall. Please don’t forget his name.

You know you’ve lost the country when the NRA and Democrats suddenly find themselves allied against you. Helluva a job, Trumpy.

Is The Guardian down? It really is the only news site I trust these days. But it’s not working for me right now.

If only we as a country, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence, had some historical events from our founding era that might help us understand why agents of a distant government shouldn’t murder protesters on the streets of the city where they live.

May they all rot in prison before they rot in hell. And that includes every cowardly member of Congress and the Senate. My heart is with Minneapolis and all the brave witnesses risking their lives to show the world what is happening.

To think that all this is because a black man was president and awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. ALL. THIS.

Dear World, we know he’s insane but we’re being held hostage by a spineless Congress and Senate and a corrupted Supreme Court.

Anyone else sitting out these Olympics because of a profound inability to root for our country right now? I feel sorry for the young athletes having to face the rest of the world while wearing our flag. They worked hard and don’t deserve this.

Be a Martin, not a Donald.

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.

Has there been any smiting from the face of the earth today, she asked hopefully?

The self-congratulatory nature of awards shows like the Golden Globes is really not landing with me this year. Can’t imagine it’s landing with many people right now. Congrats, actors, but I can’t get invested in your gowns and speeches.

In Sept, ICE killed another person in a car and lied about it. www.reuters.com/world/us/pol...

What happened in Minneapolis happened twice - once fatally - Chicago this fall. As far as I know, nobody involved (ICE) has ever been charged? These thugs have immunity while they kill innocent civilians. Dem should run on this in the midterms.

Farewell, Dry January, we hardly knew ye.

Done and done. Simple message urging each to impeach and remove Trump over his illegal act of war against Venezuela on 1/03/2026. Phones went to voice mail, so you don’t even have to talk to a person!

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

They know they’ve committed an international crime. And they’ll do everything they can to remain in office so they won’t have to face trial and punishment. Once they’ve gone this far there’s no going back. We need to be prepared.

Basically Trump is Saddam Hussein 2.0. Invading a smaller country for their oil. Remember how it ended for him?

There’s a mad man in the White House and Congress just lets him commit crime after crime. Blame Trump all you want but blame the Republicans in Congress more. They let this happen.

Hoping for dancing in the streets in 2026.

Never forget that 99 years ago, in Dec. 1926, Agatha Christie looked at the world and said “F**k this shit” and decided to disappear, checking herself into a fancy hotel for 11 days. I’m keeping this in my back pocket for 2026.

There was only one thing I wanted for Christmas but we didn’t get it.

Every Bears fan waking up this morning: “Was it a dream?”

You know how you have these little sayings or phrases that become part of your family's vocabulary? One of mine is, whenever my sons or husband leaves the house, I say, "Have fun storming the castle!" Thank you, Rob Reiner, for everything.

If you find this current iteration of life too be too much (I’m right there with you), please step away from social media and find light and love wherever you can. Don’t feel guilty. We don’t have to witness EVERYTHING, no matter what our churning minds may say.

Another preventable shooting that the Republicans decided not to prevent. Blood on their hands but they wash it away with NRA money and keep sounding the false alarm against immigrants to distract us.

Because the current administration is brainwashing us into blaming immigrants for everything. And hoping we forget about the guns.

So happy for her. She’s been toiling in obscurity for years.

Everything’s awful but the Bears.

I'm thinking of the National Guard shooting victims today, and hoping for the best for them. And I am also thinking about the craven politicians who decided to put them in harm's way because they choose to govern by menacing and by staging stunts. May the fates they deserve befall every one of them.

The weirdest thing about Thanksgiving is getting emails from, say, that mortgage officer who financed your house ten years ago telling you how thankful she is to know you.

He’s releasing the files because he’s already had them scrubbed, right? Nobody thinks otherwise, I’m assuming.
