Good morning, Margaret. This is so true; trauma is a major cause of substance mis-use disorder in adults. People who have suffered ACE’s will do anything to feel “normal” & frequently self medicate to do that. The correct question is never “what’s wrong with you?” It’s “what happened to you?”

Mike Johnson -- who is, yes, theoretically a lawyer -- has not had a chance to look at the American Constitution because he's been very busy lately, folks, he just can't see everything, gosh, how is he supposed to know if it's wrong that the president called for the execution of congress members?

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

i need all the "waaaaa i hate winter" people to shut the hell up because it's 91 degrees out at the end of fucking october and i need you complainers to stop manifesting the mass ecological destruction of global warming. put on a jacket while you still can

America 2025.

#UPDATE Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday he will not "betray" his country as he pushed back on a US plan to end the war on terms favourable to Moscow, acknowledging he risked losing Washington as an ally ➡️ u.afp.com/ShoL

assface is hosting a man who chopped up a reporter... looking for tips on how to handle the press?

And Trump is giddy as he🏑🏑 around him. I’ve seen that behavior and it comes off as an abvious physical attraction and admiration.

Ya know, getting a flat tire, running out of coffee, that would be "things happen". Chopping a man up and stuffing him in a suitcase, having a body double leave the building so you can deny responsibility, that's more like HOLY SHIT happens.

"Trump defends Saudi Prince bin Salman's killing of Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, saying ‘things happen’". It's true. Arms get sawed off, legs get sawed off, heads get chopped off, ya end up in a suitcase. Da prince says he don't know nuthin'. Whaddaya gonna do?

today is World Children's Day, celebrated on this day to "commemorate the issuance of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child by the UN in 1959. This years theme: "Listen to children, stand up for the rights of every child, every day."

Collect yours before the whole building is gone.

The shit in chief has authorized his Brown Shirts to arrest and jail anybody, by any means necessary. Allowing the Brown Shirts to interpret this is an extreme attempt to decimate any opposition.

Cheri Jacobus says it much better than I can, but the House shutdown was designed to give many people time to scrub the Epstein files. Now the question is, will we get angry enough to demand the unredacted versions? And there is so much more than just names, including important illegalities.

Watching Erin Burnett (who is apparently trustworthy) on CNN. Her guests refer to multiple cameras at Epstein's mansion, and suggest there is probably mention of videos in the files. If so, massive news. Nobody wants to see Trump's tiny pencil stub, but still, wonderfully embarrassing.

This piece reads as if it's only a matter of time before we find David Brooks in the Epstein emails. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/o...

Mike Johnson is so far up Trumps ass that he can deliver Lindsey Graham’s mail.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?

Also request that Speaker Johnson be removed from his speakership!!!

WHO IN THE COAST GUARD MADE THE INTIAL CHANGE!!?? NAME NAMES!!!!

Scapegoating straight out of the Nazi playbook.

GODDAMMIT. CALL YOUR MOCs and DEMAND TRUMP, BONDI, AND PATEL BE REMOVED!!! NOW.

These are very bad times. But there are a lot of good people here. We must continue to take care of one another and fight for one another. That's always been the work, that's always the work.

saw this on Fox News Across the United States, a single adult with no children in 2025 needs $106,745 per year in pretax income to live comfortably. That's slightly lower than in DFW.

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible. But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

Because it is illegal.

Imagine being such an awful person Dick Cheney doesn’t want you at his funeral

Despicable open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... Great read from Dan Rather: "...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..." #BlueCrew #MisogynistInChief

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

My favorite writer reshared my FB post so I'm gonna do a legit swoon now. ☺️☺️☺️

If you believe that Democrats *ON FILM beckoned our beloved and unmatched military to DEFY LEGAL orders and betray our laws and constitution, it is abundantly clear how we ended up in this clusterF in the first place- And why destroying education is at the top of the GOP wish list.

Houlahan says not a single Republican has reached out to her to express concern about the president calling for her death

So horrible Shame on him

This is amazing! ICE is probably freaking out. Yeah, we will get every single one of you

“We are appalled to find that the content on the CDC webpage ‘Autism and Vaccines’ has been changed and distorted, and is now filled with anti-vaccine rhetoric and outright lies about vaccines and autism,“ the Autism Science Foundation said in a statement.
