DHS deleted their awful tweet about the family whose car got tear gassed last night.

In the process of learning how to play the insurance denial game on behalf of a parent with dementia. I’ll do an AMA soon.

ICE has no authority to arrest anyone for anything other than being in the country without authorization or being an immediate threat to others. None. This is intimidation and violence for its own sake. It’s illegal, it’s gross, and it is precisely anti-American.

They're coming, Nashville.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

They want to hurt us.

Scammers are escalating

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

Americans are going to sooner or later realize that nearly half of Venezuelans are white.

I realize this isn't the point, but Maduro is NOT going stand trial in a US court. It will never, ever, ever get that far. So the question is, what happens to Maduro and his wife when the charges get dismissed? Do they get ordered sent back to Venezuela? Is he President again?

We are absolutely going to invade Greenland this year.

Stranger Things S 5 haters have lost their damn minds. That is all.

And, because of course, I am stuck.

Send motivational music for my 4 hour shift of caretaking my demented Mom tonight and 5 hour shift of driving her home tomorrow through snow and ice, please.

trying to get my last .5 hours of ethics in Maggiano's. Welcome to the end of the year,

I’m in Philadelphia until the end of the year and today we visited the Museum of the American Revolution. Russell Vought shoulda read up on the Stamp Act before unleashing Project 2025 on Americans. And also, 2026 in Philly is gonna be lit.

I live in the South. It is 63 degrees here right now. And I am sitting in the airport getting ready to fly INTO this and then drive STRAIGHT THROUGH it. I am, to put it lightly, annoyed.

Pre-ordering this one for sure.

At least it was short.

I did not know until this morning that Pete Hegseth lives three towns over from me. My friend has seen him at Waffle House twice and the staff there love him and I’m not sure anything this year has made me madder than all of that.

Update on this: Yesterday I learned that last week she and only one other student in her school graduated early from the English Language Academy, for students from non-English speaking households.

I don’t think I’ve shared this on Bluesky yet. If you’re looking for new and relaxing Christmas music, my husband put out this electronic carol record in 2020. I enjoy it every year and I’m delighted to share it. open.spotify.com/album/2G6VZK...

Any Sabrina Carpenter fans in the #TN07? Go vote today for @aftynbehn.bsky.social

Tr*mp told Matt Van Epps billionaire friends at his private event yesterday that Matt will be the deciding vote to save Tr*mp's legislation, if you needed any more motivation to go vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social #TN07

Tennessee friends! Want some time off from work Tuesday? If you didn’t early vote & Tuesday Dec 2 is your only chance, TN law requires employers to give a reasonable amount of time off to vote (3hrs). Let’s do this for @aftynbehn.bsky.social! #TNCongressionalDistrict7

Guys, shake out your Christmas trees if you're getting a real one and spray it down with Neem oil before you bring it in the house. Ours had mites.

This just warms my heart!

Son, put your headphones in or watch it on mute. I’m only asking once.

Can somebody call the troops tomorrow and remind them there’s an election on Tuesday. #tn07 #aftynforcongress

They remembered us. This is weird.

Criminal law is not my area, but I think this is bad.

From the time we left the house to the time we pulled back into our driveway after voting was 8 minutes. If you're in #TN07, you have time to vote. #aftynforcongress

Requesting that we only post #aurora posts for the next three nights.

#aurora from middle Tennessee

The message of these east coast races seems to be affordability affordability affordability. Not a single word about No Kings?

Cancel your Conde Nast subscription like you canceled your Disney subscription.

We went grocery shopping today. I needed to pick up some almond butter. The regular almond butter was 4.49 (Justin’s brand). If you wanted vanilla or chocolate almond butter is was 11.49. 💀

It is Halloween and my inbox just had 666 unread messages in it.

Everyone really needs to know that SNAP benefits could absolutely get paid next week, and should get paid next week. The contingency money is there. It was congressionally authorized for this purpose. USDA said they would pay it. But Tr*mp called Brooke Rollins and told her not to.

Thank you so much for supporting @nashvillebanner.bsky.social! The work they are doing is so important.

Johnson's going to be in a fucking pickle if the GOP candidate wins the TN-7 special before the shutdown is over. (AZ not being the only place lacking representation at the moment).

In case you need a little light in your life at the moment: I've been tutoring an elementary school student whose parents speak little English, since she was in second grade. She's now in 5th. When we started it was a struggle. Next week she'll be recognized for her high marks in the 1st semester.

Love it when SCOTUS gets to decide what "regularly" means.

My tiny town of 19k in the rural South. And we got a lot more thumbs up than thumbs down. #NoKings

Wearing a mask to #NoKings tomorrow because I'm sick as a dog.

TAKE ACTION: The Election Assistance Commission is accepting public comments on this request for a “show-your-papers” requirement. Will you speak out against this attack on the freedom to vote? bit.ly/4ngSyyl

“The contract’s already signed.”

Meta was tired of getting dinged with fines from the data protection authority in Ireland, so it staffed the office with friendlies.

Last night the conversation going on behind me in the Dublin pub where I had dinner was about how absurd it is for ChatGPT to try sound like an Irish person and I’ve been smiling about that ever since.
