This made me ugly cry 😭 I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another. But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty 😔

Is anyone else having this problem?

Pam Bondi just laughed when asked if she would apologize to Epstein Survivors.

I can still remember the days when Trump was only in the Epstein files 38,000 times instead of over 1,000,000. Oh wait that was yesterday.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469. Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by. Hello?

In between all the fascism, it's also a MASSIVE crime wave.

GEORGIA — @ossoff.senate.gov : “This is a SEISMIC event. This should have people across 🇺🇸 absolutely shook. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office… this is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

Hey, @tr-illustration.bsky.social, my daughter drew this for me for my birthday. 🤩 I thought you’d like it.

Q: Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist or assassin? TRUMP: Well, I haven't heard that, but he certainly shouldn't have been carrying a gun. I don't like that he had a gun.

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

Next up, right? Kim Jong-un Vladimir Putin Bashar al-Assad Alexander Lukashenko Isaias Afwerki Hun Sen Ilham Aliyev Calling my reps using the 5 Calls app….

This is ridiculous. And now let’s all sit back, watch Top Gun, and sing “Highway to the Danger Zone.”

@sarahljaffe.bsky.social Listening to this stellar book on my way to and from work every day. This morning I was wandering around our shop muttering “there’s more to life than this!” Probably listening to it during my commute isn’t the best idea. Or maybe it is…. 🤔

From a Disney meme website….

Have these in our basement bc you never know when you’ll need an outdated audio cable or power cord….

Hate when this guy shows up in my feed

Remember: There's always strength in a union. Solidarity.

This is how I feel in the middle of a NE Ohio winter. And we’re not even made it to the middle of winter yet! 😭😭😭

2024-2028….

It’s winter solstice. It is my absolute favorite day of the year….

✨ Blessed Winter Solstice ✨ We honor the return of the light - a moment of renewal, reflection, and releasing what no longer serves. In this stillness, we plant new seeds and remember the inner flame that carries us through the dark. Wishing clarity, resilience, and brighter days ahead for all 🌅🕯️❄️🖤

if your country opens a department of war and closes the department of education then your country is a toilet.

Has anyone thought of giving one of these to Trump? It’d be just like his FIFA Peace Prize….

This is a screenshot from years ago. I don’t know who the OP is, so I can’t give them credit. But it seems appropriate in 2025.

But I thought Trump ended that war….

Planning to stop at Books A Go Go in Ravenna, Ohio, to check out this shirt. Need to shop local for a shop local t-shirt. 😁

Nice try, Jeff Bezos. I already cancelled the sane-washing NYT. I’m not gonna drink from the WaPo fountain.

Richard Scarry is one of the authors I loved when I was a kid. And then I found this sticker on Teepublic. 🙂

1. I got this from somewhere all the back back in 2021, so it’s not mine. 2. I’d love to h/t this, but I can’t remember where I got it. 3. The bottom line: gotta love capitalism….

Just finished this. Very restful….

Me, recently….

So this headline got brought up at “family Thxgiving time.” I can’t find ONE example of anyone reputable claiming this. Wouldn’t the NYT cover it? I mean, she’s from New York, so they’d cover it, right? I’d love a quick way to refute it…

Well, *this* book is distressing. A great book, but distressing….

While baristas are on strike, our job is simple: DON’T SHOP AT STARBUCKS. They’re striking for fair pay and respect and we’re standing with them. Show the billionaires our solidarity is stronger than their greed. #NoContractNoCoffee

I love book recommendations; this was suggested to me by a friend. We live in Ohio and have noticed the shift from manufacturing to health care…. As of this afternoon (we talking this AM), it’s on my Goodreads “want to read” list. 😁

Well, *this* book is depressing.

There are no ethical billionaires.

In her book Shift Happens: the History of Labor in the United States, J Albert Mann often references the pyramid of oppression. I found this on the Peet’s Labor Union Instagram account (posted 30 Sep 24). Makes sense….

Mike Johnson shows his true colors here. At first he wouldn’t sign the discharge petition, opting instead to AVOID max transparency. Only when DJT surrendered to the inevitable & said it was okay did MJ find his “moral compass.” None of them want to go on the record as having protected pedophiles

Follow-up article: The House GOP’s collective pants are on fire.

Billionaire Politician + Billionaire Oligarch = Corruption.

Someone in our family is a poet. I found this on the side of the fridge….

Headline of a WSJ article. I hate the word “ultrarich.” It shouldn’t exist.

Can we just fast-forward to the point in the movie where he gets impeached?
