Not sure if this is already a sign of things to come on Meta platforms, but today on Instagram I was served ads for PragerU and Hillsdale College. 🤮

I mean, Vance would be a horrible president, but how has no one floated that trump’s lost his mind in service to Putin?

So I see that trump is continuing his crazy talk that formerly respected, serious journalists seem to be taking seriously. WTF?

I’m disappointed the republicans didn’t make it much harder for Mike Johnson to be chosen as speaker again. But I think their attempt at appearing united is going to crumble quickly. trump can threaten them to do what he wants, but how soon will that get old, too?

Wishing everyone a peaceful, happy, and healthy New Year!

Important numbers to know.

A bit late to the party…. Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season!

JFC Great Britian. Youre better than this. 😡 Like in the US, some children will likely take their own lives because of this ruling. Heartbreaking. 💔😢 www.huffpost.com/entry/bc-eu-...

And this is how the Trump administration will govern. Threats from cultists (not “grassroots support as misstated in the article) and political threats of being primaried or worse. I hate where we’re going. www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

Something’s out there. 😳

May this season bring you peace…until the chaos begins in January.

This is what happens when you try to keep the cats off the bed comforter with a cat friendly blanket. 🙄 #catsofbluesky

I was wondering who might be worse than Matt Gaetz for AG. Now we know. Pam Bondi. 😡 Here’s a bit of info in case you’re unfamiliar: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pam_Bondi Note: This photo has to be from her early career. She doesn’t look like this now.

This is me dancing the happy dance because I got rid of my Threads account. 😁

A Republican I can agree with. Before Newt Gingrich came on the scene, interactions between Ds and Rs was encouraged and seen as a necessary part of their role. Gingrich changed that, requiring freshman Rs to go through orientation with Rs. Knowing the other side matters. 🎁 article. wapo.st/40UGqv3

The Gateway Arch is a modern marvel. St. Louis, Missouri, known as the Gateway to the West, is the lucky city to have it. My hometown! ❤️ www.facebook.com/share/v/188P...

I know that as Democrats we tend to take the higher ground and don’t make waves. I hope this time is different. I hope this time we make big beautiful waves to take a stand for the voting integrity of the US.

With trump’s nominations, I believe we’ll be seeing Keystone Cops’ level stupidity. Except it won’t be funny.

I’m falling back into old coping mechanisms. When my mom died, I painted the kitchen. When I was depressed, I painted the dining room and 1/2 bathroom. When my dad died, I didn’t paint. I got divorced. I left those painted walls behind. Now that trump’s back, I’m painting our hall bath. 1/2

Orange donut anyone?

Life’s feeling much more like a ball on a roulette wheel these days. And it’s probably only going to get worse. So, I’ve decided that I will stop reading my phone and pick up more books. And read them. I don’t mean just pick them up. In case that wasn’t clear. 🤨 📚📖 I just started this one. 👇🏼

After watching MSM elevate Trump and downgrade Kamala, after seeing Zuck’s social media channels throttle down political messaging, and reading the absolute batshit Congratulations! posts to trump from CEOs who own these outlets, I’ve decided it’s time to bring sanity back to my life. 1/

Yeah.

My son and I have been discussing why Kamala lost so decisively despite the enthusiasm around her campaign. He feels she spent too much time courting celebrities and touting the $1B raised. And that she ignored the <$100k crowd. I disagree. I believe that trump did a good job of bamboozling 1/

So I find myself here, a refugee from Threads—although I still go there. Planning to pare down my socials presence. Tired of giving my time to billionaires. And I still believe in Lady Liberty.
