As a woman veteran, I am proud to be part of the movie MY DEAD FRIEND ZOE. Legion M's newest release blends humor and heart in an award-winning movie about friendship, resilience, and moving forward.

Mark my words: Kristi Noem will be the Ilse Koch of THIS fascist regime.

And the woman got to pick out which dude’s cloak she could snuggle under and glean from his land too. And Ruth was an immigrant.

Make it the new Ellis Island building and also house the homeless there.

And didn’t they recently arrest the fire starter of the Palisades fire?

Turn it into the Trump welcome hostel for immigrants. Ellis island 2.0.

Can we file anti-terror lawsuits against the US Taliban? I’m the granddaughter of a Holocaust victim but also had Catholic grandmother who survived WW2 (her hubby died tho.) She told me what 1930s were like & we’re living it now. BTW she was forced to birth a 3rd child or lose wartime job.

She recanted during his confirmation Hearing. Kind of Susan Collin’s-esque
IIRC

I’ve seen anecdotes that some are prisoners released early from private prisons. Would be good to know.

Esther Massimini @emmphx.bsky.social · Oct 1

Me too.

But wait…I saw on TV that you have monsters in Portland. A very GRIMM situation. Trump must fight the Wesen!

Srsly can you imagine of one showed him part of an episode? He’d totally believe it.

I was just in Slovenia. Seemed like everyone there speaks English, including people Melania’s age. The official stat is 75% have high proficiency.

I’ll put this out there. Trump’s been handsy with Arabella, just as he was with her mama.

I stay at the Miyako Hotel right there when I go to LA Opera. That area is flooded with Japanese tourists $$$$$
because of Ohtani. They come even when the Dodgers are out of town to take the stadium tour etc. there’s a giant multistory mural of Ohtani overlooking the area.

Trump’s Gestapo conducted a raid today where Gov Newsom was speaking at the museum dedicated to the history of internment of Japanese-American US citizens. How soon before the Felon’s stormtroopers shut down the museum? I’ll bet that no MAGAt has been there unless they were in LA public schools.

If a president is a felon, suspected (& via photographs, likely) pedophile, & has dozens of SA accusations, why is he in the White House with a Slovenian porn worker who lied on her VISA app? Better 100000 migrant workers than 1 pedophile-rapist-felon and his sex worker "wife" (& grifter spawn).

Blue Jays/Diamondbacks game in Phoenix last year. I’m a US/German dual citizen, grew up on Canadian Forces base thru age 16 in Germany.

Comes time for the anthem. I sing O Canada in French. Couple in front of me turns around, goes nuts, informs me that real Canadians sing it in English. Albertans.

Oh Scottie, just wait til he goes after “the gays”. Your Huguenot slaveowner heritage won’t save you when it’s time to don the pink triangle. Pick up a history book.

Right now at the beginning of Comic Con with 150000 visitors and many international?

I have it; did killed off my extra veins. Ankles normal now. Worst part was thigh-high compression stockings during an Arizona summer.

My husband has it because he is a lifelong weight lifter. He chose knee high compression socks & substituting walking for one of his weight sessions.

Politics. The Apostles were fishermen. It was the fishing lobby over the mutton/meat lobby.

Like many SS, he was a good Catholic boy.
