Since this has come up again! In case there’s still confusion on how we lead.👇🏼👊🏼👇🏼

Timely question: does NYC fill the T-Day balloons with hot air imported from DC?

@huck-sawyer.bsky.social May I assume you are a Twain fan?

Lovely Mairi is always bringing the beauty part!😍

I know this is too much but consider it a PSA: do you know when it’s beyond time to get a hip (or two) replaced? When you stand up and it sounds like muted small-arms fire inside them! Don’t wait like I foolishly did. Pinky swear!!

How’s your day going? I just made a cup of coffee in my Keurig without a mug under the dispenser. Ten ounces covers a LOT of countertop.

There’s only about 10 minutes of news a day, the rest is a repeating opinion machine. That’s why the evening news was half an hour in the ‘70s, Cronkite assumed correctly that we’d form our own opinions.

Goal: for 2026, I’m going to get- Organized! I’m going to get or-gan-ized! (Sung to the tune of Popular from Wicked, if you please.)

TMI alert: when you walk with a cane you must plan movement from room to room like a field commander. I’ve learned the utility of the odd plastic bag, pockets, teeth and waistbands. Go ahead - indulge in that visual.

Why do we call it ‘the news’ when it seems to be the same shit, different day?

Time to make a pie, a cheesecake, and some ice cream!

Why am I awake at 2:30am?

Bernie Sanders just dropped a 60-second truth bomb on Al, and everyone needs to hear it.

The 🇺🇸 American road trip comedy film "PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES" written, produced and directed by John Hughes and starring Steve Martin and John Candy was released in the U.S. #OnThisDay in 1987 🎬 Paramount Pictures

I'm going to a MAGA family thanksgiving dinner. I'm going to try to keep my mouth shut. Wish me luck.

Mayans believed the Jaguar to be associated with the supernatural ~ that they could cross between this world and the underworld. The sun god, K'inich Ahau, was often depicted with jaguar attributes to represent his nightly journey.

And, no, Bubba, just give that tube a snap and a hard tug. You can deflate the balloon later. (To all the men who just nearly fainted, sorry.)

Joy! Even easier - 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, add a drop or two of vanilla and cinnamon to taste, microwave then top with ice cream or whipped cream. You’re welcome!

So Mr. Trump, since I'm no longer considered a "professional", and due to the nursing shortage, you will be required to empty YOUR OWN urine bag and remove YOUR OWN catheter.

A bad opinion about apple pie is honestly a nice distraction from all the news. It also reminded me of this, which is a perfect treat if you prefer apple pie filling over pie crust:

Impeachment will be a great start. The Trump Regime must be prosecuted for their many crimes. Trump will pardon most of his staff but they will not be absolved of state crimes. Trump escaped justice due to Merrick Garland and SCOTUS for his 1st term crimes. His Regime must pay this time. #ProudBlue

These guys are out in tactical gear with automatic weapons with MULTIPLE clips to hold off suburbanites in shoeless pajamas.

Kudos to Senator (and U.S. Marine) Ruben Gallego for his direct response to Drunken Frat Boy Pete Hegseth and his ridiculous "investigation" of highly-decorated Veteran and former astronaut Mark Kelly.

Wreath matches a pillow cover I made for a gift.

Instagram ready? Be kind, my Bluesky peeps. And Happy Thanksgiving!

How does USAG @marcelias.bsky.social sound? Go scorched earth on MAGAt criminality from day one? He's a national treasure.

NBC: Top Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino and roughly 250 federal agents are expected to launch an immigration enforcement operation in New Orleans starting the first week of December. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

Government-supported research for disease and public health is one of the highest and most important purposes of any government. Tatiana Schlossberg’s heart-breaking and powerful story is damning not only to her cousin but to the entire trump regime. Their callousness will affect all of us.

DO NOT for a moment think that anything Republicans propose for medical care will benefit individuals. The ONLY solution is Medicare, and dare I suggest, IMPROVED Medicare, for all! Socialism? My ass. Humaneness. Healthcare is a human right. Period.

It takes an honest, capable DOJ to bring such charges, and Trump has destroyed ours, leaving only incompetent sycophants. It'll probably take at least the 2026 midterms to elect a Congress willing to impeach/remove him to save our democracy. Failing that, a major Dem takeover in 2028. #ProudBlue

The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program. The evil that this man does apparently has no expiration date. Nurses make up the largest segment of the health care workforce and the backbone of our nation’s health system. #DefendersOfDemocracy

Lets start the week with otters chasing a butterfly.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots. Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth. Delete your account.

1/2 If I had been groomed by and continued to be supported by a billionaire like Peter Thiel I might, might be as out of touch as is JD Vance. Have patience for the brilliantly planned and executed turn around authored by him and trump? We’re in it! We feel it!

Humanity is evolving. Compassion, intelligence, reasoning and empathy will become more common. Right now ignorance, greed and cruelty are fighting to survive. The 'might makes right', 'money is power' crowd are trying to hold on to the past and maintain their control. Don't give up.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Watching right now - You. Guys. Are. The. Best!!!!

Where are my nurses and medical professionals on the feed? Now would be a great time for nurses to strike, just sayin.

The release of the Epstein files.
