I’m twisted. (Okay, I have severe scoliosis, so…that explains PART of it.) I’m a liberal, a mom, an animal lover, a fan of the planet, believer in science, and not a supporter of organized religion.

Someday the tiny handful of children who survive will believe the place where they see Kid Rock tributes and Scott Baio musicals was named after the famous eugenicist Robert Kennedy Jr. plus, of course, that creepy guy whose name is on absolutely everything.

Hard not to agree. Democratic leadership needs to get their shit together, get rid of the old guard, and stop trying to appeal to moderates.
A Democratic Party not having an explicit platform of reforming the Judicial Branch after today is not a party I want to vote for.

ICE’s accelerated recruitment push is raising serious concerns about who it’s attracting and why. @wendyvia.bsky.social warns it’s “normalizing extremism, but also warping what it means to be a person who protects your country,” with a message to "make America different… a violent but white place.”

Why do most people’s food pics look like piles of dog vomit? I’m not gonna share anything here because I’m not trying to shame individuals. But damn. Before you post first look at your pic upside down. Despite how good it may smell, if it doesn’t look like food when it’s upside down, don’t post it.

On this #ThanksgivingDay let's take a moment to remember the true reason we have this "holiday". Today, this country is actually celebrating the INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THIS LAND, THAT HELPED IMMIGRANTS, WHO FLED THEIR HOMES FOR A BETTER LIFE...TO THEIR LAND.🪶

I’ve discovered the BEST Black Friday Deal: DON’T PARTICIPATE. If you must buy please buy local. If you must shop online avoid Amazon! Buy directly from small businesses. Go to their websites!
We Ain’t Buying It: Nov 27-Dec 1 (at least!) Send a message to MAGA with your wallet.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

The Epstein files are about so much more than the disgusting, criminal dealings of one man.
They're about how the rich and powerful are rigging our entire system to give themselves money, cover, and influence.
Buying elections. Warping our economy. Subverting justice.
Enough.
