Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Happy Caturday, y’all! Stay sane, and stay strong 🥰

I make art when I'm happy. I make art when I'm sad. I make art when I'm angry. I make art to pay tribute to people. This covers the last three that I mentioned. Renée Nicole Good was a concerned citizen. She was a wife. She was a mom. She could could have been your sister, daughter, friend.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

‘I don’t need international law’: Trump says power constrained only by ‘my own morality’ 😟😱😨 His…what?????

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels. Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on. And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking. Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy. It's a power grab.

His posts are the only thing that age worse than he does…

Don’t you just miss the days when we pretended harder that there was a legitimate reason to attack a sovereign country ?

Happy New Year, everyone ! I hope it is much better than the previous one 🙄😅

I’m thinking we don’t have time to drill down on HOW we got here, but having some recommendations for practical action items that can be implemented now and soon seems a better use of my time… Thanks, @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

Sigh…I know so many things are wrong in the world, but yesterday during our walk, hubby and I saw a pet goat walking behind his humans (the dog was in front on a leash), and today we saw two cardinals on a low branch. Those sightings brought me so much joy that I forgot all the 💩 for a while.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

Been meaning to type this out to put in alt text but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I wish Listifications showed the reason someone blocked me—I just want to know if I should be proud of having offended an asshole or if I should mourn that a decent person misunderstood me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This @peterbakernyt.bsky.social paragraph is a perfect summary of our descent into authoritarianism. He’s not even editorializing. He’s just reporting what’s happened, and what we’ve become numb to. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/u...

I love this because I’ve never been able to wrap my brain around the MAGAs I know who are super strict with their own children, students, colleagues, employees, etc—people who expect very traditional, formal levels of decorum—not only tolerating his behavior, but celebrating it. WTAF?!?

I’m up way too early considering I’m on winter break and could sleep in, so I thought I’d read a book. After an hour, the hunger kicked in. However, someone else is enjoying my presence at home, and I don’t have the heart to move. Send help! 🤣😜

Rob Reiner devoted his life to entertaining us and fighting to make the world a better place. We will honor his memory by continuing to show up for our democracy. Our hearts are with everyone who loved Rob and Michele Singer Reiner.

My eyes are sweating …you?

Read this. Then read it again.

I hate that so often after a mass-casualty event, we have to start worrying about what social, political, or ethnic group the perpetrators belonged to, so that all others who share the same designation don’t fall victims to vigilantism and revenge.

Fact-check: true

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption. This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

Way to go, Hoosiers! 👏

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

My eldest: Mom, I refuse to look at the stats for your favorite football team right now . My youngest : six-sEvennnn!! 🙄🤣

Quietly, largely unreported, Trumplethinskin is pardoning like the madman he is.

Damn, TN… Shame on me for having hope.

Ooof! The pin-the-blame-on-not-me-game is NOT subtle.

Only people who want to deprive you of your rights would be upset that someone has informed you of your rights.

👏💜😍👏💜😍👏

This gave me intense goosebumps in the best way…

Wow! Jesse Welles performed his song “Join ICE” on the Colbert Show last night. 🏆

My new stickers have arrived 😍

My hero!

“Things happen…” I think that one might be this week’s winner for me, but it’s only Tuesday.

Now he wants them released…prepare for the feast of names covered in ketchup and other names added in Sharpie.

😍 I wholeheartedly approve !

CRIMINAL CORRUPT TRUMP CRONY LINDSEY GRAHAM MUST GO! along with ALL GOP DJT cronies who capitulate to Putin puppet felon/fraud/rapist/pedophile/traitor pig Trump. The ONLY way to return USA to a Free Liberal Secular Constitutional Democratic Republic, as our Founders intended, is to REMOVE ALL GOP!!
