My wife crocheted me a small Taylor Swift doll 😊. And added a ring to the pattern 😍.
She's not a Taylor fan herself but loves me and tolerates my obsession, I mean fandom. 🙂

Happy reputation day!
It's hard for me to believe that I didn't especially like the album at first, but it's true! Just so different from Taylor's other music I guess. Whereas now it's one of my favorites of hers. So many great songs!

This wasn’t shocking but it was sickening. The men (and women) who made this happen, the monsters who assaulted these men, and the people in this country who LAUGH about it or think it’s deserved-I hope they all get cancer after pain medication has been outlawed.
40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.
We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

Taylor is undefeated!!! 3-0 now! 🙂🙂
My ultimate team is 2-0 so far this tournament when I wear my Eras tour t-shirt and 0-1 when I don't. Guess what I'm wearing again tonight :-)

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are responsible for the deaths of 400,000 children. Let that sink in.
The consequences for this have to be so much more severe than I can picture our current establishment allowing. Every single person who ever participated in, enabled, or even just didn't resist the DOGE cuts when they could have has to go to jail. All of them.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

It’s unfair to mock a sociopath for not knowing how to respond like a human being to another person’s distress.

Such big, brave men, hiding their identities and tear-gassing toddlers.
Heartbreaking: Under Trump's ICE terror, a 2-year-old Chicago girl was tear-gassed while walking with her mom-burning eyes, screams of
'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.

Chicago residents say kids tear-gassed due to nearby immigration enforcement
A Chicago mother tells NBC News she and her 2-year-old were hit with a chemical agent. Many residents say the city wasn’t a “war zone”— until immigration agents swept through.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Things I don’t want to pay for with my taxes:
Political revenge.
State Guards and ICE intimidating, endangering, and killing people.
Performative lolsuits.
War crimes.
Noem’s costume budget.
Sending thugs to threaten universities.
Kash’s dates.
Bribes.
Golf.
Random 40B handouts to Argentina.

I just spent half an hour reading election results in my county and across the country. Looks like huge losses for Trump and MAGA pretty much everywhere.

Over half of the corporations bankrolling Trump’s vanity ballroom are facing (or recently faced) federal investigations into wrongdoing — including violating workers’ rights or misleading consumers.
They also have a combined $279 BILLION in federal contracts.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.
Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.
