I guess people don't read the bios we attach to our profiles. I keep getting faux-thirsty dudes trying to catfish me in DMs. Look, yes, I have cats plural, but I am MARRIED and not looking to step out. *See photo below* So... not interested. Seriously, look elsewhere, my brothers in christ.

I'm probably far too cynical for my own good, but I'm guessing they will release the funds for food relief just in time for Thanksgiving, and their base will call them heroes for it.

Yep, once they realize they can get away with defying him, it should be easier each time.

Along with all the destruction in his wake. That sounds great, makes for good bluesky captions, but it ignores the reality that we will be decades repairing the damage he's done in the US and abroad if we even can fix it.

She's a lot kinder than I am. Let's just say I'm #teamaneurysm

This happened in 2023 and we're just now hearing about it. That's how successful the cover up was.

And we're back to taxation without representation for everyone. We fought a whole ass war over this once upon a time.

To the surprise of no one. Holding back the Epstein filed doesn't just protect Trump. It protects Trump's blackmail.

Elon Musk is on track to receiving a $1 TRILLION pay plan.

If this plan is approved, he'd make almost $100 BILLION annually.

That's 1.6 MILLION times the median American salary.

We're urging Tesla shareholders to vote against this new pay package.

I don't think the reps or senators can be influenced by the people. If they cared about our support more than his blackmail, they would have acted already. As far as elections, I'm just hoping we will still have some going forward.

What are we expecting to see happen when we cross that threshold?

When his loyalists own the entire government, who's to stop him?

I will also say while I’m at it, that for every argument that you can make for the need to have new / younger / different reps, you can and should dissect how those arguments are ableist and ageist.

I’d rather hear how “X” elected is disconnected than trotting out their age like they’re disposable.

When the rest of the government is controlled by people just as morally bankrupt and self serving as he is, there's no one to stop him.

Libertarians are people who think they did it all by themselves but forget they went to public school, drive on roads, get protected by police and fire dept, don't get poisoned because of the EPA, get subsidized healthcare, courts of law, property rules, air traffic control, public research etc.

So this is a scary feeling, but I'm starting to feel a tiny bit sorry for him. He's a bear of very little brain being manipulated with false information into enacting an agenda he doesn't even understand.

What next, an exposé on the inclusiveness of Stamford? I mean, six churches, and they all get along? Madness!

It would be awkward and inappropriate for me to participate in a No Kings protest here in the UK for obvious reasons, but know that my heart is with those who are going to the protests back home. Stay strong, stay safe, be seen and be heard.

Oy, that was my dad in the year or so before he died. But he had dementia complicated by self imposed isolation. I'd hate to think there are that many people who share that mindset.

And this is why he will outlive us all. 🫩
