She just needs to be honest. She's into the chicken guy. That's really why she's insisting that she needs to be so heavily involved in peaceful protest in Portland. We saw how she was checking him out.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

1. Before 2020, I never, ever remember getting sick being portrayed as a good thing.

"Most people will get one or two respiratory infections every year. In some ways, it's a *good thing* when you are a child or healthy adult".

*my emphasis.

Yeah. She's pretty easy to see through tbh though the one question I will always have is why she does her eye makeup the way that she does. I've never seen anybody ever do it that way. The rest of her is straight forward "I'll take whatever money I can get if it puts me in front of a camera".

That's the thing about these types. It's not about the people but giving a peacock an opportunity to parade around.

My reply is +151 characters over the limit: “It was great when it happened. It's too bad not enough blowback occurred and she's still quoted in media today. I mean, caping for explicitly anti-LGBT Moms For Liberty while running an HIV clinic in the same hospital as one of the first AIDS wards while minimizing COVID harms and downplaying the importance of vaccinations while Omicron burned through thousands deadweekly. so schools would reopen is a HELLUVA thing to not ruin someone like that O_o”

I don't know who needs to hear this but this is health disinformation. RFK Jr isn't a doctor. He was educated as a lawyer but lost his ability to practice law right out the gate because of his heroin addiction.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Thank you, Cassandra. I certainly hope that more people realize exactly who Gandhi is/was and how much she was put on tv and quoted everywhere by corporate owned news outlets.

“Eliminate them from the existence of American society.”

This violent rhetoric is deliberate. Noem is a fascist in a fascist regime that wants to criminalize and ultimately kill its political opposition.

More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed, over 20,000 children, by the Israeli military, and experts at The Lancet estimate the actual number is almost certainly far higher.

Evan Hill & @evanhill tweets on October 8th, 2025:
“Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.”

My mom and I made a secret pact 2 years ago. If anything should happen to her, I would defend and fight for her.

I kept my promise and now she knows that my sister, as my mom put it, "will lock her away & throw away the key".

We all make choices. Almost feel sorry for my sister.

Steph @observingangel.bsky.social · 3d

"You returned my brother to me. I didn't think I was ever going to talk with him again and we had a wonderful long conversation. Thank you."

My mom also assured me that she will be dealing with all of this when she is healed up a bit more as she held my hand. I agreed that it can wait.

Steph @observingangel.bsky.social · 3d

So he called her today. He told her how terrible he felt that he'd never called me or kept in contact w me. He sang my praises, telling me how incredibly kind I was. How proud my mom must be for raising such a good person. And that my sister who had his number--didn't tell him a damn thing.

Steph @observingangel.bsky.social · 3d

I didn't even have his cell phone number but when my mom had a stroke, I tracked him down on social media & commented that something had happened to my mom. I talked w him on the phone for a while, apologizing that it'd taken 3 days to realize that he might not know & track him down.

Steph @observingangel.bsky.social · 3d

We agreed to deal w that later. Then she told me that her brother called her. They'd fought a while back on the subject of their parents & childhood abuse. I hadn't talked to my uncle in 16 years. Every Christmas, they'd all open presents from him. I never received one.
