I enjoy whiskey, correct punctuation, and proper grammar.
When I’m serious, I’m very serious. When I’m silly, I’m unstoppable.
My kid plans to turn me into a diamond when I die; I will sparkle FOREVER, which is great, bc “sparkly” is my favorite color.

I keep thinking I should get one of those hands-free, automatic trashcans and then I remember why I don’t want one.
My house is 100 years old. I do not want to know if something or someone triggers my automatic trashcan in the middle of the night when I’m the only one home. 👻

MTG is still the person who attacked a survivor of a school shooting & supported 🍊 & his policies for YEARS. She just happens to think trafficking victims deserve justice. Broken clocks are right on occasion, but don’t forget that this one is wrapped in a circus tent‘s worth of red flags.
MTG is an experiment in how little it will take for white voters to ignore red flags they’ve already clocked

Good time to remind people that America has a child marriage problem. And once married, the child cannot divorce until they reach adulthood, or their adult spouse ok’s it, bc the adult spouse becomes the minor spouse’s representative in legal & other adult matters.
All I’m going to say is, they don’t care if he’s had sex with children, but if they find out he’s had sex with another man, they will implode…
They have a fcked up sense of morality.

This is a great idea. Please consider donating to RAINN, as well as orgs for suicide prevention, pregnancy & sti assistance (like Planned Parenthood), and homeless shelters.
Please remember to be kind to those around you. Many victims may feel retraumatized as we pursue accountability for abusers.

if you’ve posted more than 10 times about Epstein maybe make a donation to RAINN or your local SA support center

Pay attention, boys & girls, this is a prime example of a false equivalence or false equivalency.
Outside of a textbook specifically demonstrating the concept, It’s rare to run into one that’s this obvious. Even then, I think the textbook examples are less ridiculous & almost certainly less hateful.

Other than powerful men controlling themselves and being held accountable for their actions, guess what else could have prevented this?
That’s right, universal healthcare.

A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

These losers really think they’re G.I. Joe. 🤦♀️ It’s embarrassing, and the way they treated these people is shameful. Do they know G.I. Joe would be fighting against them? Superman, too? How can they POSSIBLY think they’re the good guys??

"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Another great example of why voting matters. In every election. VOTE! They wouldn’t try so hard to stop you from voting if it didn’t make a difference. You can change the world with your vote.
Just to be clear, a Utah judge didn’t throw out the GOP’s biased new map because of a “partisan opinion.” Utah voters approved redistricting standards. The GOP ignored them. The map violated the voter-approved rules, that’s why it was rejected.
Voters > politicians.

The US government is trying to treat women like an abusive partner: trapping them with children then using force & deprivation to keep em in line. Disgusting.
WIC is currently being funded, but that could be taken away, too. And they’ll blame the women while their children starve.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

I urge everyone to take a look through this story. At the things people have had stolen from them in homeless “sweeps”. Clothing. What little shelter they had. Medicine. Family members’ ashes in more than one case. Birth certificates, IDs, communication devices. Music & art tools. Community. Self.

This is not unexpected. Gov’t workers often get a bad rap but so many of them, certainly the ones I know & love, have huge hearts & are deeply committed to serving others in whatever capacity possible.
A leadership that cannot keep these patriots employed, paid, & insured is an embarrassment.

This is from Alberta, Canada, but holds up for the US as well.
We have lowered standards and lowered standards to meet testing goals to the extent that students spend an exorbitant amount of time learning how to test rather than engaging with material. We are now woefully behind in all areas.

All of these points matter but pay special attention to the last one. It’s absolutely correct.
The fact that we had a variety of possible candidates until we found out who “donated” this money is a huge part of how things got the way they are right now.
Tax the wealthy, individuals & businesses.

Billionaire Tim Mellon sent $130M of his $14.1B to fund US military salaries during the Govt shutdown
1. This covers 1/3 of military payroll for 1 day
2. DOD has a $1T budget. $130M is .013% of that
3. Mellon can casually part with $130M—he can be taxed at a 91% marginal tax like during 1940-1980
