I really want to knock on my Maga neighbors doors & ask them to please explain why they are putting up Christmas lights when they voted for a literal antichrist.
I mean literal antichrist in the sense that Trump is the embodiment of everything that Jesus was against (historically & canonically) 🤨

Tomorrow, the Senate will vote on an extension of ACA tax credits.
This vote boils down to one question: how many working people deserve to lose their health insurance to fund tax breaks for billionaires?
My answer: zero.
Tomorrow we will know Republicans’ answer.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Frustrating. I am getting zero reach on my soap FB page because apparently Meta wants everyone to pay for reach. ($87 a month for Business Plus!)

I’ve known Shine for over a decade now and she criticizes injustices with language that matches the offense. It’s outrageous that “safety” would ban her for standing up for another immigrant. Looking at you, @safety.bsky.app

So I just noticed that the pajamas that Clark wears in Christmas Vacation have cute little dinosaurs all over them, & they are the perfect amount of worn-in flannel softness. I was going to ask if anyone noticed them, & found that yes, the pajamas are movie merch 😸

Barry’s loving all the attention, he’s waddling about like he rules the world. After another pitter patter, he pulls the door open fully. Beautiful snowflakes float through the air. The crowd gasp in awe & wonder. It’s a snowglobe & look who’s sneaked inside! ❄️☃️
