I like to remind people of this fact. Before 1950, my great grandfather lost eleven children, including 3 sets of twins, before they reached the age of 12. Vaccines work.

Here’s gold ol’ girl Reneé White, innocent victim of “fake news”, with yet another interview. This is her write-up in Mother Jones. You can’t get this amount of press with a professional publicist.

In Charlotte, the local news interviewed a woman (with 80s hair & a Midwest accent) who drove two hours, supposedly from Boone, NC, to show support for ICE. She brought them donuts & claimed this cruelty is what she voted for, 3 times. Her name is Renee White, and she doxxed herself.

Like it sucks that LGBTQ Americans have to do this song and dance with basic rights every few weeks, but it is also objectively funny that Kim Davis took her bigot case to the most nakedly partisan conservative SCOTUS in recent history and still got told to fuck off.

Another win for Citizens United tonight. Don’t kid yourself into thinking big donors’ fingers weren’t all over this. The Hateful 8 were merely sacrificial lambs for the others in the party who were feeling the squeeze.

Am I so old that I can’t remember there was a time before Google? I was searching for a picture of the hospital where my daughter was born in 1996, and none exists. Am I only imagining there was a St Francis’s Women’s Hospital in Greenville, SC, or was she in fact the result of an alien abduction?

As they say…you can’t take it with you. Now Cheney’s gone and all the money he grubbed while blighting the last quarter century is not doing him any good at all.

Did I miss it?

Not terribly impressed with her "accomplishments". A Master's from Liberty U is not very impressive. I have worked with people with degrees from Liberty, and I am not exaggerating when I tell you that I would be surprised if they can read. Not kidding. www.buzzfeed.com/brittanywong...

I made a reservation at a 2-star Michelin rated restaurant this weekend, and, having no menu, didn’t realize the cost until the bill was presented to us. I tried to defend it to my husband as art, talent, well-earned, blah, blah. His response: “An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure.” 🤦🏼‍♀️

Happy belated #Caturday from my handsome grandcats.

If every member of Congress won’t agree to laws which allow a finite amount of funds allocated to each candidate, and make these donations 100% transparent, then we have to assume they are corrupt. If we can’t end Citizens United, then we need to regulate it. @endcitizensunited.bsky.social

If the #NoKings rallies taught us nothing more, it showed that we are here for our country. Is Democratic leadership just as committed? They need to be selling what we have to offer, because if EVERYONE isn’t on our team, leadership has shirked their duty. @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social

We know. The entire world knows. When will Congress finally get the message? Their days are numbered unless they stop bowing the knee to the orange dictator. We must grow the resistance to numbers so great even Gerrymandered districts & rigged voting machines can’t defeat us.

Republicans know how to market themselves to get people to vote against their best interests. If Democrats just TRY, they could win. The message can’t be an attack on Republican’s, specifically Trump’s, values. They see it an attack on them personally. Dems need to show them what they can offer.

Why is there an Emoluments Clause if there is no formal procedure for enforcing it? It’s like sitting a bag of gold on a table with no one watching it, and when it’s stolen, there’s no one to report the crime to. Maybe, as a lawmaker, do something about changing this.

I’m grief-stricken about Diane Keaton. This one hit me hard, because I identified with every one of her characters…usually all equal parts insufferable, neurotic and endearing. It’s like losing Mama Stone all over again. 🥲

…in “two weeks”

Or as I tell my husband (and probably breaking a social rule in doing so) “Your d*ck won’t fall off if you let someone merge.”

If you’ve not yet cancelled Prime, #ShinyHappyPeopleSeason2 is a must see. @jeffsharlet.bsky.social lends his voice to explain the disturbing politics of Christian Nationalists. I’m still not convinced they’re sincere in their love of God, but rather use their religion as a source of money & control

The connectivity smartphones and social media provide is both one of the miracles and one of the curses of our society. If you’re concerned about your latchkey kid’s ability to reach someone in case of an emergency, get a landline or Bark phone.

Republicans are agents of chaos. Make no mistake, they are intentionally tanking the economy in order to profit from its collapse and restructure. They’ve done a form of this with developing nations for years. Now they’ve set their sites on the ultimate prize.

Americans don’t give a damn until it happens to them. Van Jones made a good point on Real Time last night. Had the Democrats held off on the shutdown, and let the cuts & rate hikes go through, people would start feeling the pain right in time for the midterms, and every Republican would be replaced.

The list of countries with Universal Healthcare is staggering. Virtually every developed nation you’ve ever heard of does; however, Republicans would have you believe that we in America, the world’s richest nation, can’t afford to assist even our most vulnerable. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Univers...

Can someone please explain why people regulate their comments? Is it: ⚪️ They only like hearing themselves talk & don’t care about your opinion? ⚪️ They only care about what “certain” people say, because your opinion is beneath them? ⚪️ They have no faith in their convictions so don’t welcome debate?

My daughter is going to have the spooookiest Halloween, ever. She just signed a lease on an old townhouse in Savannah, across from what’s been called the most haunted house, on the most haunted square, in the most haunted city in America.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

I doubtlessly popped dozens of Tylenol when I was pregnant with both my children. I suppose it may have potentially made them weird, but I would hazard a guess it was more attributable to genetics than Tylenol. www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/h...

Does anyone else out there feel that living through this Trump presidency is literally taking years off your life?

Not trans. Not a Democrat. www.wbtv.com/2025/08/28/s...

Canceling Disney Channel is only one small way you can boycott Disney/ABC. Did you realize a lot of retirement funds invest in Disney? You are not obligated to keep those stocks. You may manage your holdings online, or contact your money manager and ask them to remove Disney from your portfolio.

Happy Caturday to my Shih Tzu Poppy who my iPad image locator says is a cat!

Trump was spewing all kinds of toxic crap about the shooter until he found out the shooter is one of THEM; now, when asked, he quickly changes the subject. Guess what, Trump? You’re supposed to be the president to ALL Americans! #notmypresident

I had bespoke paint-by-numbers sets made for my girls using pictures of their cats. When searching my archives for their photos, I typed “cat” in the search bar. It brought up all the cat photos I was searching for, but my Shih Tzu is going to be very offended to find her photos were among them.

I’ve been reading Naomi Klein’s Doppelganger, and she’s so relatable, every time some new horror befalls our nation, I’m instantly thinking “Wonder what Naomi thinks of this?” like she’s my bestie I can call just to bitch about circumstances. @naomiaklein.bsky.social

Am I wrong or was TPUSA, Charlie Kirk’s organization, one of the architects of Jan 6? Didn’t he, along with Ginny Thomas, charter buses to this event? Weird I’m not seeing this mentioned in connection to his legacy by all the leaders on the left who are memorializing him. I’m 👀 you, Newsom & Polis.

A lot of the girls I know who have mixed kids embrace MAGA values, and I truly wonder how this will affect their children’s self esteem in the long run? How do you have a black partner and mixed kids, and go on social media to praise Charlie Kirk? What a confusing message to send your children.

👀

Waiting to see if the national guard will be deployed to Utah.

Hey NRA, just think of how many guns you could sell if you advised that now is the time to form a militia against a tyrannical government. Maybe put your money where your mouth is.

For all you Republicans who are so bitterly against paying taxes to fund education, healthcare, housing for the poor, infrastructure…we could do this; however, your leaders have you so worked up about wokeness that you’re allowing them to give the rich more, instead of letting them carry the burden.

I wish I could respond to you. If I could, I’d say “Thank you!” People need to chill tf out.

As I traveled to work this morning, complacent in my privilege, I was pleasantly surprised to see about 100 people, with more arriving by the carload, gathering to protest the horror that has befallen this country. In my population 14k blue dot town, I couldn't have been prouder of these folks!

Someone MUST make a limited series about Israel Keyes. It would be a smash-up of The Order, Saw, Silence of the Lambs, American Psycho, Natural Born Killers & Twin Peaks, with a little Rob Zombie sprinkled in. Not doing so is a missed opportunity. If you do, please don’t half-ass it! #Netflix #hbo

I’m so sick of Trump et al. When I first joined Twitter prior to the 2012 election, I remember those innocent accounts that gently chided Mitt Romney. Remember the parody account of Rafalca Romney, his horse? Ah, the good old days, when Republican evilness was so mundane. x.com/LateNightSet...

Still fucking waiting…

I was enjoying my run along the Savannah River, watching as the freight-laden ships, with origins from all over the world, pass through to the port. It's not uncommon for the crew, who has been on board for weeks, to wave as they pass by. So sad to see what our country has become in their eyes.

I’m here to remind you every day, especially if you were a Trump voter, that as prices are skyrocketing, and the possibility of ever retiring is looking less and less likely, this economic apocalypse is just one big money grab for Trump and his billionaire friends.Bring back the #ETHICSAct.

I was born in the South, and I’ve lived here all my life. I’ve considered taking voice lessons to rid myself of the accent, because I don’t want to sound like one of THEM (MAGA). Now, I’m actively perfecting my #ParkerPosey #WhiteLotus accent, because I feel it’s the perfect ruse.
