I’m taking a social media break until the new year. I will miss all you kitty cats and cat mombs and da’des. Have a wonderful holiday season. See you in the new year!

I signed up for a weekly winter farm box! So far I have made sautéed beets-yummm. This meal was braised kale and beet greens from the farm, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic, served with fresh sliced pear. I also sautéed cubed sweet potato and steak tips. Plus gravy (from a packet)

My grandma was born in Lake Saint John, Louisiana in 1920. But she told everybody she was from Natchez. If you know this album, you’ll know why I love it so much ❤️ miss you, Suge

This isn’t getting enough coverage. Republicans are now saying they will extend ACA premium coverage if access to abortion is reduced

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Holy shit! After Megyn Kelly gave a free pass to pedophiles Trump and Jeffrey Epstein to fuck children, this 14-year-old girl just gave Kelly a brutal reality check. 😳👇

Animals getting CT scans 😳😳

Americans deserve better than JD Vance

Tonight was the inaugural ride of our new home buyout program. We connect with vendors too scared to be out, and we purchase from them at home. Tonight we bought 250 tamales, divided into 3 teams to deliver all over the city to folks on the street, Love Fridges, and a youth shelter.

Live. Laugh. LOSE.

Trump has about as much respect for The People's House as he does for the people.

if we had a functioning society we wouldn’t need this patchwork of aid but here is a GoFundMe for a man who lived in a (now destroyed) RV on the property of one of the businesses the UPS plane struck. he also worked there so he is out of a job and a home (in addition to losing friends in the crash)

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Does anyone think the insane increase in our US insurance premiums, and politicians cutting off the subsidies, is them getting back at the working class for the murder of one of their CEOs? Even this shutdown. It smacks of revenge.

George, girl, leave the cats out of it

For anyone interested, you can buy Nicolle Wallace’s “Democracy isn’t a spectator sport” cashmere sweater — it’s by NYC-based Lingua Franca, made in NYC, a label owned by entrepreneur Rachelle Hruska. Part of Lingua Franca profits go to activist causes … linguafranca.nyc/products/dem...

All gas, no brakes.

What a bunch of baloney

There is a book out called “The Sin of Empathy,” which is written by a white Christian nationalist cult leader out in Idaho. The idea that the left is “weaponizing empathy against Christians” is an EXTREMELY popular & growing sentiment being bolstered by the church. And we all need to be aware of it

Canada, we were rooting for you SO hard. It was an incredible final game. Be so proud.

Me, glaring at the weird old dudes who stare at my 20 yo daughter. (I love that moment when they look up and notice me)

Imagine if @govbilllee cared as much as this NC5 reporter does #BillLeesHungerGames

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word? My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle. www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J...

Lots of wrong information coming from the Trump administration on SNAP "running out of money November 1" and the SNAP contingency fund. The truth is: 1) It *can* be used to cover SNAP benefits during a shutdown. 2) It actually *must* be used to cover SNAP benefits during a shutdown. Let's dig in.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Imagine Trump said he was illegally stopping November Social Security payments & incorrectly blamed the shutdown The frame should be “Trump illegally halts Social Security checks,” not “Shutdown means November 1 marks a Social Security cliff, Dems share blame?” But that’s what’s happening w/ SNAP

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

Everyone, look! #plundercats #catsofbluesky

Cannot stop silent wheeze laughing

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Since Portland’s been popping up in the news, here’s a reminder of what Portland is actually like.

A very The Onion production

As always, support your local station. They need it more than you know. And, if you can swing it, adopt a station in another state: adoptastation.org

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I know fruit like grapes and blueberries are expensive right now. But for those who can, we have to keep buying them and pay the true market value, or we will no longer have them.
