It was the worst of times. It was the stupidest of times.

We all know what's useless here and it ain't the Tylenol.

Northern Lights over SE Iowa!

Soooo much of today makes sense to me now.

Two days without coffee. Clear liquids only. My brain is fuzzy and my body is exhausted. And I haven't even started the fun part yet.

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

Those capitulating fuckers...

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Shelob has been found!

When all else fails, bake a cake. Preferably chocolate with Bailey's buttercream.

A gentle reminder that a walk in the woods helps reset your brain. #optoutside

I guess I ruined the workplace when I fought for pay equity at my institution.

So many Americans either don't remember or never learned this to begin with. As the daughter of German and Polish immigrants, I could never forget.

And isn't it about fucking time???

Best. one. yet.

Whether national or local, it's always a privilege. #vote

Sounds like a plan!

Here we go again? How many innings this time?

I swore not to buy another plant, but I'd never seen this color before, soooo... No one really *uses* a desk, right?

A cloudy, drizzly, chill day calls for muffins with lemon sugar.

We love entertaining.

Call. Out. the. Lies.

They don't need a ballroom. They need a padded room.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Really, they're just handing dems the ads to run on next year. 🌊🌊🌊

I think I'm going to bring back this look--beautiful, simple shirt, pleated skirt, and lovely flats.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak... oops.

Reason #4,689,312 that studying the liberal arts is essential. 🙄

Karen is a dogged, versatile journalist who will kill it no matter what, and your publication would be lucky to have her.

As if I needed another reason to love her 🌟

When fake Christians sold their souls for power.

It's not a damn "renovation." It's a fucking demolition.

"Declined to say" who they voted for. As long as the orange clown screws other people, they're fine with their choice.

So grateful for these folks doing this important work without getting paid. The entire GOP administration should be ashamed, if they knew what shame is.

Wild guess 🤷‍♀️ Wordle 1,589 3/6 🟨⬛⬛⬛🟩 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

What's it like inside your head?

I will never ever forgive anyone who voted for this.

Insightful piece.

Certain people are serial liars who never, ever tell the truth. Why is this so hard to comprehend?

big mood

We can participate in democracy and be flawed while also having non-negotiable. No nazis. No racists. We aren’t abandoning trans people. Triple the minimum wage. Universal healthcare. Reproductive freedom. Etc etc etc. Stand for something! Appeasement accomplishes very little.

Sometime soon there will be concepts of a plan, a really really helpful, big plan.

Hillary was too kind in her description of the maggots.

This is Poppy's "get me off this boat NOW" face. (She actually may have enjoyed it a little.)

It's *our* house. He has NO right to destroy it.

Poor Mikey obviously never got to hang with the fun kids.

all these people protesting today in groups of a few dozen on the main streets of small towns in deep red Trump country - where they will absolutely take shit from their neighbors about it at church tomorrow or at work on Monday or next time they go to the grocery store - are braver than the Marines

You know what’s one of the great things about the No Kings protests today? No one is going to storm the U.S. Capitol.

We all sang America the Beautiful and it brought hope back to my heart.
