My mother died five years ago, and we watched dementia take her slowly in the preceding years. I’d like to offer a warm hug to everyone who is grieving or struggling on this Mother’s Day.

The current president of the United States is a demented, idiotic, warmongering mad man. I do not forgive those who refused to vote for Kamala Harris. Racism and misogyny will destroy the world.

TIL that if a 22-year-old smoke detector fails, it will set off every alarm in the house, and if you’re out of town when this happens, it will be so loud that your neighbors across the street will want to call in a wellness check. Fortunately, we’re back home and feeling only slightly idiotic.

Doug and Josh. You lit a fire in me with your song collaboration. I just did a collaboration with my brother and this is what we came up with. I wrote the song. He sang it and played his guitar. youtu.be/wl6BX11WEYY?...

I want the Seahawks to lose, but I don’t want the Patriots to win, so I can’t really cheer for anything except either really good or spectacularly bad plays.

I used to think there were very few really evil people, but between ICE and Epstein, I’m seeing how many people just wanted permission to release their worst selves. With ICE, masks and badges free them to torture and kill. With Epstein, money and influence freed them to torture and rape.

Please SHARE if you agree!

If Ford can suspend a guy for yelling at the president, can we suspend the president for flipping him off and saying f*** you? Where are all the Civility First Pearl clutchers?

We got here because white supremacy and misogyny are not tied to age. Fascism has never been something that would die out by ignoring it. It's the political equivalent of ivy, mint, and kudzu. Only less useful. It spreads endlessly, working on expanding every crack in every wall. We must uproot it

Watching what’s going on and seeing the responses in media and from our representatives, I feel like I’m trapped in an Orwellian nightmare. I’m pounding on the glass and screaming at the top of my lungs, THIS IS NOT NORMAL!

May 2026 please be the year we successfully impeach the pedophile warmonger.

This kind of statement is so disingenuous. Every other advanced country in the world has managed some form of universal healthcare. You can look at the world and find plenty of blueprints for building universal healthcare. It’s willful ignorance to pretend it isn’t possible.

When you’re a kid, bandaids on your knees are kind of a badge of honor because you skinned your knees doing something fun and daring. It’s just not the same when you’re an adult, and all you did was step off a curb in front of the UPS Store. 😩

@bennet.senate.gov @hickenlooper.senate.gov Do not cave to the republicans. Do not trust any promises they make. If you let the ACA subsidies die without a fight, I will donate to any primary challenger you have.

Among all the other good news, the voters in my very conservative county rejected all the school board candidates running on anti-trans panic and elected the ones running on crazy ideas like treating teachers as professionals. Local elections matter!

THIS MOTHERFUCKER HELD A GREAT GATSBY PARTY WHILE 43 MILLION PEOPLE GO HUNGRY AND HEALTHCARE COSTS KEEP RISING.

Happy Hollow Weenies! Wishing you all lots of treats because we’ve had an excessive amount of tricks this year.

If you think Trump can’t misuse the nuclear codes because "people would stop him" well those same people just watched him bulldoze a wing of the White House.

Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

If you think a Nazi tattoo isn’t a deal breaker for a candidate, fuck off. If you think shitting on trans isn’t a deal breaker, fuck off. If you think opposing abortion rights isn’t a deal breaker, fuck off. Seriously, just fuck all the way off to the Pedo-Protection Party where you belong.

I’m sure Paul Hollywood would be sooooooo impressed. 😂😂

The Vikings were my husband’s favorite team as a kid, and I’m a Browns fan from way back, so every big play this morning is “Yessss! … I mean, that’s too bad. Sorry honey.”

I went to my six-year-old grandson’s flag football game today. (Naturally, he played brilliantly!) One of his teammates was a little girl in pigtails who was wearing her football jersey with a leopard-print skirt, and she played hard. That little girl gives me hope for the future.

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

@bennet.senate.gov I read your weekly email update, and I’m disgusted with you. Our country is descending into fascism. We have troops on the streets. We’re facing an existential threat to democracy, and you’re acting like it’s business as usual. Wake up and honor your oath to the Constitution!

On Tuesday, we said goodbye to Bella the bestest* dog ever. I am heartbroken. She was more than 15 years old, and it was time, but it’s still too soon. *I know you all think your dogs are the bestest, and you’re right, they are. Rules of superlatives are special for dogs. Hug your pups for me.

I guess piping hot haggis isn’t the only thing in Scotland that can deliver sick burns.

The #CakeResistance has arrived! Because every person deserves not only cake but also a life full of the things that cake represents, including care, art, kindness, and enjoyment.

Happy Bastille Day! 🇫🇷🥖🍾💥 Let us always celebrate and be inspired by the fact that tyrants can be overthrow and unjust prisons stormed!

I read this ranting, and it bears no connection to any sort of reality, and yet there are people who will believe it wholeheartedly, and I have no idea how to even have a meaningful conversation with someone this deluded.

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like. And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

Alligator Alcatraz is not a merchandising opportunity. Concentration camps are not a photo op. The kidnapping, disappearing and torture of human beings should not be celebrated and exploited for monetary gain. It’s fascist propaganda.

SONG (arrives on streaming/music-purchase platforms on Thursday):

Dear independent retailers, why do you make things so difficult? I don’t want to give you all my info and only then discover some outrageous shipping price, and I definitely don’t want to add $50 worth of crap to get free shipping. I just want my $15 item and a reasonable shipping fee known upfront.

I was in Rocky Mtn Nat’l Park yesterday, and I came home to discover that my local ballot issue went the way I wanted AND that Cuomo lost the NYC primary. Apparently things in the world work out when I’m away. I should log off now before I discover anything that contradicts that idea.
