No. Kings. Period.

Charlie Kirk was a monster. Nobody deserves to be murdered like that, not even a shit-bag like him. That said, evidently pointing out that he was a psychotic, dipshit, racist, misogynistic asshole isn't something we're supposed to say. Oops... I guess I forgot to recharge my woke empathy.

Pediatric Brain Cancer Group to Lose Federal Funding. A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

Nothing but hatred, stupidity, and fear from these Nazi fucks.

Nakia in a nutshell... Not supposed to be on the counter but if they can't see me...

Seems like a pretty smart guy...

Yup

And most Americans probably still have no idea that this has happened...

This is cruelty and hatred on par with the Nazis. Anyone saying otherwise is probably also a Nazi.

SCOTUS just made a horrifying decision in terms of Planned Parenthood, simply because the GOP can't get their heads out of women's uteruses. This decision will have dire consequences, especially for low-income patients.

Keeping our library up and running takes a lot of time, dedication, and money, but it's worth it to (in our own small way) stand against the flood of censorship and ignorance that is actively trying to drown voices out. Hufflehouse.com @melissadelavida.com

That sums it up all too well...

Today's mood, courtesy of my little Nakia... @melissadelavida.com

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Listen to this great American. This nation is privileged to have a man of this character in the United States Senate. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov. We stand with you.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Fuck him and his whole evil regime.

Happy June. My MADspeaking home page has been updated with new quick links, including a link to my latest blog post on the new need of any POC accused of being an immigrant to show proof of citizenship. Check it out! #itsamadexistence #madspeaking #immigrantrights www.madspeaking.com

Now more than ever it's important to be an ally in any way possible. @melissadelavida.com and I are doing what we can. For reference, we're right across the street from a school, so this all gets seen by tons of people everyday. Normalize love. Ostracize hate.

This is what it was all for. I can't stress enough how evil and far reaching this will be for everyone. The eye of Sauron in digital form. We should be rioting in the streets over this.

Would someone please think of the leopards? They are going to start getting diabetes from eating so many faces...

Yup

When a Government is scientifically illiterate, but doesn’t know it, then its actions (or inactions) can be a recipe for the dismantling of an informed and enlightened Democracy. #ScienceMatters

Our girls (Nakia up top, Shuri below) are snack sized... @melissadelavida.com #catsky #wakandanprincesses

Nothing of value was lost.

Spoilers both for Andor, but also real world fascist regimes, like the one currently coalescing in front of our eyes. youtu.be/KmDzATfkanE

They literally tell us out in the open they are doing these things and folks still, even after all this insanity, still say things like; "This is America, it can't happen here." Wake the fuck up. It's happening.

Watching your reactions was the best part of the show @melissadelavida.com =)

There will be bans and book burnings in the near future. Didn't think so? You aren't paying attention.

Full on fascist Nazi bullshit. Fuck every single person still supporting this horrifying regime.

I was starting to log into work this morning and felt eyes on me. I looked up and our usually spastic girl, Shuri, decided that staring at daddy was the thing to do... @melissadelavida.com #catsky

Our not-so-little free library finally has an official website (formerly it was only on the book of faces). We buy a lot of books for the community so any donations would be greatly appreciated! No pressure obviously! =) @melissadelavida.com

The President doesn’t know if he needs to uphold the Constitution. This shouldn’t be shocking because he fomented an armed insurrection. So, yes, he should obviously be removed from office. He’s violating the Constitution & nuking the economy. #RemoveTrump Call your reps 202-224-3121

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

I guess I shouldn't have let her read the Art of War... =)

No notes.

Definitely a trap...

Nakia might be a little nervous about seeing the suitcases for our London trip... @melissadelavida.com #catsofbluesky #skycats #london

Tariffs xkcd.com/3073

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Shuri comforting her sister after her trip to the vet today...

It's 1828. The United States has adopted the highest tariff rate of the century for insane and idiotic reasons. It's 1929. The United States has adopted the highest tariff rate of the century for insane and idiotic reasons. It's 2025. The United States has adopted the highest tariff rate of the ce

Idiocracy would be a massive upgrade from our current regime. The emperor has no clothes. He's the dumbest person within 1000 miles of Washington and we're about to completely collapse on all fronts while his dipshit supporters cheer and the politicians cower in fear. In-fucking-sanity.

Please explain to me how this isn't fascism. I'll wait.

"it can't happen here..." Yes it can. Yes it is.

But they won't because they are cowards.
