This makes me incredibly angry.

No Kings in red Grand Haven, MI. 🚫👑 Roughly 1000 people on a busy intersection. Lots of honks and cheers and smiling faces, only a few thumbs down and screeching tires. We settled on chanting “USA!” at the haters. 😍

If you’re anything like me, you’ve had plenty of times in your life when you were faced with a decision and your gut screamed one thing while your logical ol’ brain insisted on another. open.substack.com/pub/melanieh...

Two years ago I announced that I was taking a sabbatical from writing. I was burned out, exhausted, frustrated, and ready to be done with all this. Shortly after I announced my break, I also stopped writing. www.melaniehoo.com/2025/06/03/t... #mentalhealth

Today is my 50th birthday! That’s 18,262 days if I’ve counted leap days correctly. I’ve thought about this milestone A LOT in the past year, mostly with excitement, but also with a tinge of trepidation. www.melaniehoo.com/2025/03/17/1... #lifegoals #bucketlist

I think what is making everyone so angry isn’t just the cowardice of Senate Democrats, it’s their cowardice in comparison to the random normal person who runs for school board to oust a Moms for Liberty freak
