too real lol

I don't believe her, so no problem.

"When did pedophilia become a partisan issue?" - James Talarico (D-TX)

When speaking of Republican cruel policies, we say, "cruelty is the point." I believe the expression should be "cruelty is irrelevant." They don't bloody care who is harmed if they achieve the goal, whatever it is.

Y'know, I feel sorry for the next President after Trump. It's going to be quite a mess to clean up. Not just removing all the tacky gold decor, but the legislation to put our economy back on track and then ensure this never happens again. I hope they are keeping a list.

Great idea!!

Forced sex is rape. Call it what it is.

I'm seeing a lot of scare tactic posts telling women to be prepared for Sharia law because Mamdani got elected. No, darling. Forcing your religion on others is what Christian Nationalists do. You're projecting again. #mamdani

MAGA Mike Johnson created the firebrand that Adelita has become. I noted that the Squad were some of the first to hug and welcome her. Now burn the place down, ladies. Figuratively speaking of course.

Has anyone else noticed that there seems to be a lot of Pollyanna "silver lining" words coming out of Dem mouths to make us feel better about the betrayal? I'm not blaming Schumer, though I do think the centrists need to STFU and learn from Newsom and Mamdani.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

I'm pretty disheartened with the betrayal of the seven Dems. (Not surprised about Fetterman.) Didn't we send a strong message last Tuesday that we want fighters, not conciliating centrists? #betrayed

Can we simply call this regime Marie Antoinette 2.0? Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Sometimes what I feel about what I see in the world exceeds my social media character limit.

#Witchsky I just posted a commentary on the concept of Perfect Love and Perfect Trust called, "How to Hug a Cactus" if you care to read it. Because of its length, it's in Substack. open.substack.com/pub/lenaaust...

I'm in Florida and they're predicting a record early freeze. I spent a couple of hours harvesting herbs and stuff. The hands of ginger are huge! So happy. Everything has been processed and hung up to dry or cure. #witchsky #garden

I know this long national nightmare is far from over, but last night gave me that shot of hope and optimism I need to keep going. As a former Republican who switched in early 2017, I remain appalled by what the GOP has become. Disagree, but don't hate. Debate and compromise.

I wonder if the red politicians will see the lame duck and distance themselves. Those few MAGA hardcore will be told quietly to shut up and sit down. Probably not. They're more likely to try to cheat and pretend to be "strong."

Hey, everyone, vote in your local elections tomorrow. I don’t wanna hear any of that “my vote doesn’t matter” bullshit, because it DEFINITELY doesn’t if you do nothing. Change starts from the ground up, babes. This is how you drive change.

#witchsky I was sitting with my friend discussing seasonal crafts and activities yesterday. For my trad, fall and winter are the seasons of needlework, candle making, incense creation, oils and brews. Since I have my herbs harvested, we will begin with horehound cough drops. What are you doing?

Rumor Control early results say that the NJ Dem candidate for governor is using her Maga opponent for a mop and wiping the floor with his invertebrate body. Any Jersey folks want to chime in? I used to live in Cranberry so I'm interested.

Another week begins with the government shutdown. Dozens of states have sued to release the USDA emergency fund so hunger doesn't hit the richest nation in the world. I don't think we're that rich if we have citizens who are that close to the edge. The vote tomorrow is a chance to fix this. #vote

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

My ears are finely tuned bullish*t detectors and the alarms are ringing.

As Musk was dragged towards the guillotine, screaming, 'no, please, no!' he looked up at the faces around him. To his horror, he saw not an ounce of empathy in any eye, only calm indifference, or a quiet joy. He struggled to comprehend that he was to be murdered by monsters of his own making.

Donald Trump and Peter Hegseth have now murdered 57 human beings on their boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific. That means they've passed Seattle's "Green River Killer" (49) to become the most lethal serial killers in American history Where is The Hague?

I wonder if anyone is keeping track of all the things that will need to be fixed that Combover Caligula has broken, plus all the holes in the system he has highlighted.

Ok, Maga Mike, you say you are the only ones who can fix healthcare. The BBBill took away the ACA subsidies. So, how are you going to fix it? Show us the plan. #healthcare #shutdown

In light of Combover Caligula deploying the National Guard, we Dems should flood the ranks. Then, when we are given illegal orders those with a conscience have the numbers to say "No!" Current troops: stay and defend us.

Anyone who thinks Cheeto Tweetellini will meekly leave if he loses the 2028 election is nuts. He's building a tacky ballroom that exceeds his tacky resort in FL. He is trying to make the White House into his personal palace while the economy crashes and the poor die.

I wonder if we should adopt Federal workers and military families for the holidays. As it stands right now, they're in deep kim-chee financially. They don't deserve this. #shutdown

🧐… Checks out… 👇

Military families on day 9 of the shutdown lining up at the food bank

Hold the line, Dems. I just spoke with a family member whose DH is active duty military. They are calling their mortgage company begging for forbearance. If they're that essential, pay them.

Gavin Knows What He's Talking About.......

🗣️📣 If you’re not speaking out about Letitia James’ indictment with the same fire you showed before about Jimmy Kimmel,what do your words really mean? She had the courage to take on Donald Trump—now let’s have the courage to stand with her. Speak up. Be loud. Justice needs defenders, not bystanders.

Post this everywhere‼️ -and- RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Spot on.

The Epstein Files issue is ALSO a distraction so his followers focus on that rather than the economy and vote suppression. The files are already redacted or destroyed. Watch what they are doing and go beyond the first why.

For those who won't believe that little children were put in zip ties. Spread the proof. There's no justification for putting a toddler in zip ties.

I think we can fold our arms while Congress runs like rabbits from doing their jobs. Trump is proving how much he wants to be a dictator without his enablers. Let his base get burned so badly they need skin grafts. Let the FAFO be a painful lesson.
