Current mood anyone?

How’s everyone dealing with the eve of destruction? Hold your loved ones tight and go as much good as you can. Fight the darkness.

In addition to Congress approving the Statue of Liberty, it is also something that ALL citizens enjoyed. That plane be just for Donnie.

RFK Jr., the foolish kook splashing about in raw sewage, is in charge of protecting our health. These are monumentally stupid times we are living in.

💯 My mom & I used to love the original Star Trek because it was a complex world of very different but all completely interesting people facing huge challenges but working together for the common good. What America was supposed to become.

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic. “The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

I’m so thankful that my daughter still has enough income to take us both shopping for items that will go up higher or become scarce. We also bought new underwear. Seems like all of that stuff is made in some place orange man has pissed off.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

I love this woman. I’m glad she’s showing us all that practicing self care is a good thing.

On today’s solemn anniversary, I join Armenians in California, all around the United States and around the world in remembering the 1.5 million men, women, and children who were systematically targeted in a campaign of mass murder, rape, and brutalization by the Ottoman Empire.

This is my first Starter Pack! 🦋💙🦋 After checking @clearsky.app I saw many packs I never knew I was in. Thank you to everyone who has boosted me and given me encouragement. Please share this so that others can have help growing too. We have the best community! #StrongerTogether #BlueCrew

Kristi Noem is in charge of Security for our entire Homeland, but she can't even secure her own purse. How does that make you feel?

This China Rose has formed a symbiotic relationship with an Eastern Red Cedar. I ain’t well enough to trellis, so the rose climbed up on the juniper. Appears both are healthy as heck. There is a lesson there.

Wake up, people. Before it is too late.

We should be horrified and appalled. This is Nazi stuff. First they make you register then they disappear you. People with autism are people like you and me, with hopes, dreams, abilities and sometimes complex needs. Are we truly monsters that can’t love one another?

“Andry Romero is a gay 19-year-old with no criminal record imprisoned in dangerous conditions. In El Salvador, our delegation pushed the U.S. Embassy to conduct a welfare check. The embassy has agreed to inquire about his status.” #AndryRomero #DueProcess @reprobertgarcia

Bearded iris blooming in my yard.

The people calling the Pope “woke” because he told people to love thy neighbor are the same people who said “screw grandma” during the height of the pandemic. They hate anyone who posits that a civilized society should care for one another.

Every patient denied life-saving care, whether because of abortion laws or coverage denial by health insurers, should result in murder or attempted murder charges against the State politicians who passed the law or the CEO of the insurance co. Every time.

If you're wondering why so many right wing individuals are saying hateful things about the late Pope, the reason is simple: he told them that they should care about other people.

It's funny how when you ask them why they think Pope Francis was "too woke" and request specific examples, they always wound up describing Christ's teachings without a hint of self-awareness.

substack.com/@jason527134... This is worth a few minutes of your time. Please stand with our community members who have autism.

I was a Special Educator. I’d have rightfully gotten fired and lost my license if I’d copied confidential info to a phone and sent it to non school personnel. But I blame the senate members who confirmed him the most.

I still have some Earth day shirts from when my daughter was young.

There are so many people with autism that can't afford an official diagnosis as an adult.

The only discussion regarding people with profound autism should be about delivering more resources to them and their families.

Really, if you have to swear you’ll quit drinking if you get the job, in real life, you’d not get the job. Vote out every senator who endorsed him.

Why did all those people including Vance not don a mask when seeing a frail elder recovering from pneumonia? What careless asswipes. Did all the cardinals just decide it was time for a new one?

You may not have heard of the Arkansas fatmucket, but it and other freshwater mussel species undergird the ecosystems of our rivers and streams. And they’re disappearing. Mussels like this are "canaries in the coal mine,” ecologists say. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

Raskin: You see that with Hegseth and a lot of other people who can actually be promoted to the highest levels of this government with the most irresponsible behavior, but they all happen to be white guys..

The Wacky Cake with no eggs, Hershey cocoa in the cake and icing, all made from scratch. The ancient pan was my mom, who lived through the Depression. She made this cake up until the early 80s, and this tastes like childhood!

I’m baking Depression-era Wacky Cake with no eggs. I started boycotting eggs when the maga sold their souls over them. Even though eggs are cheaper now, I’m continuing to be creative when cooking. I’ll take a pic of the results.

This rose is from a rose bush my grandmother gave my mother before I was born. I know it’s at least 58 years old. The one below it is from a clipping of the parent rose, and it blooms a darker shade. May peace, and love and joy be granted unto all my brothers and sisters out there.

Yes! The rich don’t care about even keeping us consumers alive.

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid. “It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

This nation’s irony is that millions will go to church this Sunday to recognize the son of God who gave this life for ALL of us, and they’ll walk out singing the praises of a man who has children and innocents punished because of their ethnicity.

I remember when Medicaid saved my life. As a rare disease sufferer, I had too many pre-existing conditions for insurance, but I had Medicaid when my kid was young. I’d be dead otherwise. I went to college when I went in remission& worked as a teacher as long as I could. I mattered. We all do.

Van Hollen: In other words, put up in court or shut up.

Senator Chris Van Hollen met with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia in San Salvador. 💚

The lake is up. I picked up a damn tick. Hopefully I got it off me quickly enough and hopefully that pill Bratsy takes works!

Well, another day of seeing just how many monstrous acts this so-called Christian country can perpetuate on the stranger, the widow and the orphan. Holy Week for me but not for thee is the motto of the GOP.
