This woman is stuck in flyover country for the time being. The current timeline sucks & we can change it. I’m also a little silly at times—for sanity’s sake. Don’t hit me up—especially if you like red hats with the letters a, g, m. No DMs.

Florida banning vaccine mandates is one way to make sure some children won’t be victims of a school shooting because they won’t live long enough to try to hide from an active shooter

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

I meant trmp probably will try to forgo a funeral for Biden, since trmp has no class. Biden may not have been a perfect political representative of the U.S. people, but he was infinitely better than that idiot carrot

Pretty much any picture of him is unflattering—especially when judged by the content of his character. But the alien orange skin makes him look ill, also

Tacky taco trmp terrorizes because he is a tiny-minded tyrant

I’m 51 and didn’t figure out how to read a non-digital clock until I was 14. I have dyscalculia. Maybe he has it, as well?

I hope he outlasts the idiot carrot’s reign of error. It’s doubtful that tacky trmp would follow precedent for former presidents being given a state funeral.

That said, best wishes for Biden and his family—cancer and many of the treatments for cancer are terrible

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Driving in the Minneapolis area got a lot less stressful when I finally remembered I could set my gps to “avoid highways” 😣 🤓

Why do so many dancers grab their crotch? Are they making sure all their genitals are still there?

I would like the cities I visit know that my visit is their interview as to whether or not I would like to live in them

Huh…what if—seeing how they swore an oath to protect the Constitution—all the generals who were forced to Washington a number of days ago staged a junta and then held a proper election to give the government back to the people…? Just a random thought

It would seem many of the people of Texas don’t realize that conservatives have been messing with Texas for decades…

The most frustrating part of my trip to Canada was trying to figure out how to change my speedometer to metric going into and back to mph when leaving.

The most saddening was all the homeless I saw in Thunder Bay. I hope they find adequate shelter before freezing weather hits
