Just another Twitter refugee seeking safe haven. I love books, theatre, witty banter, my fellow humans, movies and some TV. I also follow politics for my sins. I'm friendly. I swear. But I won’t answer DMs.

These fuckers can fuck all the way off.

This is the question we should ALL be asking.

“Are you telling me we can spend $40B on Argentina, $1B on Trump’s Qatar jet, $250M on Trump’s ballroom, $150M on Trump’s golf, $520M on Trump's National Guard deployments & $172M on Kristi Noem’s jets - but we can’t spend a penny on lowering our healthcare

...waiting for the hotel workers/card players. They went to the concert and had a blast. (3/3)

...calling home (EST vs. PST) and wishing his family good night. He came down w/a deck of cards to see if anyone behind the desk wanted to play. He stayed down there for hours and my friend said he was really nice and funny. The next morning, there were VIP tickets to that night's show... (2/)

I don't know him either. But I heard a nice story about him from some friends who worked at a hotel Kenny stayed at during one of his tours. This was at the height of his solo fame. He came into the lobby in the wee hours of the morning. He was too hyped up to sleep and had just finished... (1/)

Live your life in such a way that 7 million people don’t show up just to tell you that you are an asshole.

I’d signed up to participate in my local #NoKings, but am getting over COVID and decided I needed to stay home. I’m so sorry I’m missing it. These joyful posts are giving me life. I keep welling up as I watch everyone coming out and speaking up for what is right. Bless you all.

Now do Trump!

Maybe if we didn’t bail out other countries, we’d have enough money to look after our own people.

Johnson is Speaker and he sure as hell doesn’t know how things work. I can’t wait to see that man’s comeuppance.

Mrs. Wendell @mrswendell.bsky.social · 7d

It’s accurate and truly creepy.

I live in the burbs now, because that's where I work. But Chicago is my hometown. I'm outraged by this blatant lawlessness. Governor Pritzker, any chance you could call out our national guard? The Chicago Police seem like they're outnumbered and/or outgunned.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Mrs. Wendell @mrswendell.bsky.social · 7d

Right there with you, sister.

A glitch in the collective MAGA brain, maybe. A glitch in the system? Don’t be ridiculous.

What do you think about your support of the Trump regime now, Lisa Murkowski?

Mrs. Wendell @mrswendell.bsky.social · 8d

I see all the steps you took and raise you cancelling Hulu and Disney + when Kimmel was taken off the air. They don’t get my money anymore.

Mrs. Wendell @mrswendell.bsky.social · 8d

I’d never seen that before. It got me teary.

Mrs. Wendell @mrswendell.bsky.social · 8d

And his own.

Mrs. Wendell @mrswendell.bsky.social · 11d

Good. Let the giant orange man-baby kick and scream, and fling his catsup around.

Mrs. Wendell @mrswendell.bsky.social · 17d

Here, here!

Yeah, but how is that any different from what they've been seeing?

Mrs. Wendell @mrswendell.bsky.social · 25d

Sadly, this is not surprising.
