PA voters: unhappy with John Fetterman’s decision to vote w Rs and keep healthcare away from residents? Call his office or write to him. Maybe he’ll listen. Be polite. Be respectful. Here’s the number … www.fetterman.senate.gov/contact/

The silence from the always opinionated women on #theview speaks louder than if they’d spoken out against the removal of Jimmy Kimmel. I appreciate their position; I’m not sure I respect it. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, today, to sort out their thoughts & hoping they’ll share going fwd.

The distractions, horrible as they are, are working. Let’s not forget the Trump-Jeffrey Epstein connection. Repeat it loudly and often: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Escape the news. ❤️ Project Runway returns tonight. My daughter is the Supervising Story Producer! Here’s how to watch: When it airs at 9, watch on Freeform. I think it’s free w basic cable. Or watch on Hulu or Disney+ later. (Not sure what time that means.) Enjoy!

Multiple choice: when is it time to call in the National Guard? When violent insurrectionists storm and defile the Capitol, brutally attack police officers and chant about hanging the VP or when people gather to protest deportations without giving people due process under the laws of the US? Hm.

I’ve been reading that we’re “coming into a test of our Constitution,” i.e., the treatment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, DOGE actions, the defiance of court orders, retribution against who he considers political enemies. Haven’t we already failed this test? What are its limits? Congress, stop him!

What’s up, indeed! Market manipulation?

Dear Dem lawmakers: This is a friendly reminder that Hillary Clinton was skewered by Rs for using a personal server for official emails. How about you treat Trump and his incompetent band of leaky lawmakers in kind? #butheremails

Dear Dems: No matter what you are asked in an interview, pls answer with something like, “we must address the dangerous and incompetent security breach of Trump’s cabinet members.” And then proceed to do so. Every single time. Every single question. Please. Because, messaging is important.

It’s Equal Pay Day which, simply put, marks how far into the new year women have to work to earn what their male counterparts made the previous year. This roughly 3 month time frame is a generalization. Other factors that need to be considered are location, race, age, education, marital status.

Random question, and not immediately pertinent, but FIFA is scheduled to take place June 11, 2026, in the US, Canada, and Mexico. So … ?

Call!

I called Senator Fetterman’s office to implore him to vote no on the CR Heads up: there was no answer at the DC or Philly offices, but I got thru at another office. Please call. Fetterman said he’d vote yes w Schumer 😡https://www.fetterman.senate.gov/contact/

I’ve read and listened to Dems on both sides of the CR and, no, @schumer.senate.gov, I don’t agree with you. I implore you to vote against the CR. It’s our only strength to have the Rs own a gov’t shutdown. Do not acquiesce to Trump and musk. #resist

When they go low, we clap back. Good!

It’s International Women’s Day. Get involved and help create an environment of equality for women and girls. www.internationalwomensday.com/Register

Cruelty is a characteristic of this administration.

Per CNN: “The US House of Representatives on Thursday censured Rep. Al Green for his protest during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress this week—a formal condemnation of the Texas Democrat’s actions.” Who remembers the penalty Boebert & MTG incurred after they disrupted Biden’s SOTU?

Dear @schumer.senate.gov Knock, knock. You there? #saysomething #dosomething

Exactly …

I just heard the term “rapid deterioration years” regarding a woman’s appearance as she goes through perimenopause and menopause and I am pissed off. Wtf? Like a rusting car battery? An out of date computer? I find this incredibly insulting - as I continue to deteriorate by the minute. #wtf

PA residents: This list is from my wonderful PA State Senator, @senatorcollett.com Call your federal reps. Use your voice! Yes, even the R guy. I just called Fetterman‘s office to say that I voted for a united D front and to please vote accordingly. (Yup, I’m polite. It’s the best way to be, imo)

With the recent firings at MSNBC and today’s news that Trump will take control over the WH press pool by deciding which media outlets will have access, we’re one step closer to a fascistic dictatorship. And I am surprised at how easily and quickly it was allowed to happen.

Now this is a patriot …

One of the most insidious things trump ever did was to make people question the news media. I remember Kellyanne Conway’s interview w Anderson Cooper when she first used the term “fake news” to rebut a fact. The legitimate news media are often wrong, but most don’t blatantly lie. Trump lies. Cont’d

This sounds like a comedy sketch, but its real The stupidity and shortsightedness of this administration are real www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

I am trying really hard …

Whatever Donald wants, Donald gets. Ok, not Gaetz, but everyone else. And cowardly McConnell, with no political clout to lose, did the right thing by voting no to RFKJr. Too little, much too late. We’re so f’d. Are any trump voters paying attention?

Duo, resurrect the bujo. #duolingo (He’s still showing up in my app, tbh y me encanta.)

From Jewish Telegraphic Agency: Google Calendar has removed International Holocaust Remembrance Day and Jewish American Heritage Month from its default display in the US, part of a broader removal of cultural and ethnic observances from the app. Full article here: www.jta.org/2025/02/12/u...

Hm. Now who could’ve predicted this? But, he promised ... Food and energy prices rose in January to 3% for the first time since June 2024, raising the cost of living, according to the latest Consumer Price Index data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. #helies

I wish more people took this to heart.

Feeling helpless & want to do something abt it? USE YOUR VOICE. Call ur representatives. Tell them ur concerns. Give ur name & address which will be recorded to pass along to ur rep w ur comments. Flood their phone lines. This is one way to peacefully resist. www.house.gov/representati...

Thanks to trump tariffs, Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq-100 futures are all down. Buckle up, buttercups. Tomorrow is going to be a ride.

The invitation to the Taylor Swift Super Bowl party. Dress code: Sparkle. #taylorswift

It’s not going to fix our government, but The Great British Baking Show is the best for zenning out and triggering simultaneous laughs and happy tears. #momentsofzen

Raise your hand if you voted for Elon Musk.

Four more years of winter … #groundhogday

Celebrity Groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, saw his shadow this morning, predicting six more weeks of winter. Punxsy is wrong. We’re in for at least four more years of winter. #groundhogday

Def do this … Start with @democracydocket.com

It’s apparent that a uterus is the most powerful organ in the body of organs. It strikes fear and, imo, jealousy, in the hearts of religious men for whom, again my opinion, their brains are the weakest organ. No woman in her right mind should go anywhere near their organs. #donttouchtheirorgan

www.threads.net/@nbcnews/pos... Fascism 101: Control the media. Disinform, misinform. Keep the people ignorant in order to better control them. We began on this slippery slope back in 2016.

The descent into fascism began in earnest when the 1st trump admin discredited legit news sources as being fake in a (successful) effort to keep people uninformed and, therefore, more easily manipulated. I didn’t expect much of the news media to bow to him tho. But here we are. Pay attention to 1/

Update: local news reporting that there may have been up to six passengers on the Lear jet that was on a medical mission out of Philly to Springfield, MO when it crashed.

Two passenger plane crash in NE Philly near Roosevelt Blvd and Cottman Ave. Local news reports that homes and businesses are on fire. Developing story.

I’ve just been invited to a “Taylor Swift Super Bowl Party” and it’s the best thing to have happened this entire sh*t filled week. #Superbowl
