I’m done with winter now. Thanks.

Best version of the National Anthem I’ve ever heard. Well done. Wish the state of the country deserved such a beautiful moment.

The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. I just finished this 4 book series. The impact was palpable, I couldn’t put it down. It is brilliant, engaging, and thrilling. MUST READ.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Hear me out: Candy wrappers should be SILENT. Someone figure that out. Thanks.

In 2022, Congress approved over $1 billion for school security. Sigh. No school lunches tho. No medical care. No gun reform. WTF.

Sickening facts: “30 States allow teacher to carry loaded guns in school. In Utah, any teacher with a permit can carry a concealed gun without notifying parents or school administrators.” -Thoughts & Prayers

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BLUE WAVE!!! 🌊 CONGRATS!! Run Don- RUN. Your time is ending.

If you have to pay 3% higher taxes, but your kids & grandkids have free healthcare, free school lunches, and free childcare… That 3% is more than likely going to go much farther than your current $7k medical premiums, and $250/week/child, etc That’s saving American Families thousands of $/month 🤦🏼‍♀️

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social I sincerely hope you win. Be the change we need. Give us a path forward from this nonsense.

Sorry no pics, but let’s see if you can guess it anyway…. I’m wearing brown pants and a green long sleeve top. The top has yellow “spikes” (made of pipe cleaners) all over it. I also have a sign. It says “Free Hugs” What am I?

We are living in a very weird, sad, evolving world. I’m sitting here thinking of the major crisis we face as humanity. Climate change Famine Extremism Pandemics Dictators War Droughts Overfishing Breakdown of oceanic currents Wildfires Floods Unprecedented hurricanes & weather Etc

Chicago's children are getting caught in the chaos of immigration crackdowns apnews.com/article/chic...

Thinking of the people of Jamaica.

I think the blue states should start withholding federal tax money to protect and pay for things that orange moron is refusing to pay

For the record: I stand with Zohran Mamdani. If you aren’t paying attention: you should be. Democrats are attacking him because the people want him and he is “too left” They aren’t fucking listening.

This makes me sick. Physically sick. Do ya’ll remember during the pandemic? The lines at food banks? This is going to be worse. American families will go hungry while American companies see the largest profits in history. WTF AMERICA?!?!???

The husband and I are arguing over rights to the airspace above the bed. My argument is: if it’s over my side of the bed, it qualifies as my airspace. He’s decided that doesn’t apply and all airspace is shared. He’s now hanging over my side of the bed, leaning into me. His elbow is on his side.

Prettiest sunrises always in the damned parking lot…

@rbreich.bsky.social Why is there no reporting on the crypto crash, and no reporting on the housing market problems?

I thinks this makes America the official Pirates of the Caribbean. J/S. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

RIP Jane. You were an amazing human, and an inspiration. Thank you. Rest easy.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

FULLY SUPPORT. Antifascist. #makethemsayit

I thought the right was all about free speech and the 2nd Amendment…

“Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” —Donald Trump, August 2024

Driving up someone’s ass trying to make them go faster is just you being a ROADBULLY. Just stop.

Some guy is blaring out the Imperial March while following soldiers patrolling Washington DC Wonderful stuff

That’s great advice. Bewitched S3 E14

All I have to say is : Hate responds to Hate.

I’m watching the Original Bewitched, at first I was horrified by the blatant misogyny and gender discrimination. Once I got passed that (taking in the social norms of the time), I found myself absolutely delighted. I forgot how cool this show is. It’s probably been 25 years since I’ve seen it.

Due to the executive order by the Mayor of Chicago to actively RESIST Federal officers (ICE)- I will be doing the same. Let’s show Illegal Unwelcome Federal “officers” what CHICAGO says.

As the world falls apart, I got to watch Fantasia with my 9mo old grandson today. Between the mouth hanging open moments of awe on his little face and the little dances he did, Gamma was in heaven. First time he saw it, best time I’ve seen it. 🥰

My husband just said, “I’m so sick of the toxic patriotism in this country.” 🤯 Yup. It is toxic patriotism- weaponized.

I think one of my biggest pieces of advice as a historian is make or acquire physical copies of everything. Articles, essays, books—all of it. Considering the kind of people that own online media outlets, none of the things you read today are guaranteed to be there tomorrow. Print them.

My SENIOR in HISH school, went to 1st day today. Of course, comes home with homework for ME to do. I don’t know y this teacher asks parents (over the 17-18 yr olds they are actually teaching,) but I didn’t get answer when I asked the kid either. So, I did my best. Hope teacher has a sense of humor.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Chris Tucker should’ve gotten an Oscar for his role in The Fifth Element. I said it.

DYK: Abraham Lincoln once jumped out the second story window in order to prevent a quorum (vote)?

SAMSON. If you know- you know.
