Why can’t we have nice things, too?

I have a daughter in her first year of a MSW program. She’s often told me I’m too political. She’s triggered now. It’s not lost on her that, for the most part, these are degrees primarily pursued by women. Republicans might have regrets about this decision.

That this isn't a possibility for one of the worst crimes a human can commit should be a shame that's general over America. We must not give in to this kind of evil.

It's time for Schumer to step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people. sign.moveon.org/petitions/sc...

If Schumer is voting no, then who put this deal together?

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

This is the worst outcome imaginable. We fought and they caved. F*CK YOU democrats. I AM SO ANGRY.

FUCK YOU @schumer.senate.gov

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

this is insane. www.kivitv.com/canyon-count...

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Here is a gift link to the article about what Graham Platner said about Military Sexual Assault survivors, and the documentary about MST called The Invisible War. Full disclosure: I was in that film. wapo.st/3L086sy

Hey #Romancelandia 🥳 newsfromsuz.beehiiv.com/p/three-big-...

Mike Johnson says he'll swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social as soon as she wants. Okay, so how about today?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This is the Epstein files shutdown.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

ICYMI: Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats' bill that would reopen the government AND save health care for millions of Americans. This is now the FIFTH time we've voted on this bill. The Republican shutdown continues.

Apple and Google are on the wrong side of history. 🤬 Apple and Google - stop bending the knee to the whinny fat b*tch in the WH! You used to stand up to government overreach. apnews.com/article/appl...

Republicans need to come to the table and get serious about negotiating an end to the GOP shutdown.   The question every Republican needs to answer is: How long do you want to hold the American people hostage because YOU don't want to fix the GOP health care crisis?

BAIT AND SWITCH by @ellekeaton.com - a terrific combination of high-stakes plot and slow-burn romance in this intriguing tale of romantic suspense. #mmromance #romancelandia #queerbooksky

It’s the end of September and the final day of this fabulous Bookfunnel promo especially for LGBTQIA+ Historical Romances, including Another Chance for Love, my post-WW1 novella, available on KU. books.bookfunnel.com/lgbtqiahisto...

Boycotting is how we save our democracy. All hands on deck. Most of you are already swinging, but we need the Disney surge crowd to understand what’s at stake. Make it a goal: inform one low-info person today. Or three. Get one more person to stop funding their own demise. tinyurl.com/mpnahwaj

Let's go! EPSTEIN Files!

This week on the reading blog, I have two cracking #mmromance romantic suspense reads from @nrwalker.bsky.social and @ellekeaton.com. Both are must-reads! elliethomasromance.wordpress.com/2025/09/18/r...

Most people were not able to see the updated Sinclair guide because I accidentally set it to "paid." It's on there and corrected.

“When you know you’re full of bull, keep your mouth shut” – Will Rogers (His politics I don’t know but using the quote here).

Do it. You want your country back. You hurt them the only way you can. In the wallet @psychopete.bsky.social has a well researched boycott list. Use it

F*ck all of this. F*ck absolutely everyone who said don’t worry it will be okay.

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Go ahead and bury Charlie Kirk but you can't bury the Epstein Files!

News orgs "need to wake up Americans who are sleepwalking into a police state. It’s an easy headline: 'Trump is building a dictatorship.' Say it at the top of the TV news. Print it in type that everyone will notice. And then make the case. The evidence is all around us." Read @markjacob.bsky.social

These fucking idiots took emails of Hillary Clinton ordering pizza and turned them into a child trafficking scheme, but they’re perfectly fine with Donald Trump being best friends with the most notorious sex trafficker of our time.

I hope that all the fucking lib men who were complicit in trying to suppress #metoo accountability understand that they are by extension complicit in our social failure to find outrage in the Trump/Epstein stuff

@Hillary It's time for you to stop standing by your man.

Trumpet, the toddler with money and power, thought money would buy him respect. He thought power would buy respect. The USA is being destroyed because he has a deep *need* to be liked and literally no one does. Except maybe the creepy press secretary -- what is with her facial expressions?

It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

… Share it.
