Greg Bovino is being removed, not because he created enough violence in the streets to get Donald Trump bad polls, but because he didn't create *enough* violence in the streets to get Donald Trump an excuse to invoke The Insurrection Act.

Fred Trump had dementia and his family set up a fake office so he could think he was in charge while other people made the decisions. Mentioning this for no particular reason at all. Not even sure what made me think of it.

I may have had extremely bad taste in men in my younger years but it never extended to Kid Rock or the clown in Oval Office. Really patting myself in the back for that.

Ew. "I'm the Problem" lyrics were almost verbatim what my abusive ex would say. What a manipulative shit bag. Why do we keep letting these people be famous for this? #morganwallen #snl

Hurricane Helene may feel like ages ago, but the recovery job isn't done. Our teams are still distributing hot meals to NC & TN communities with the help of grassroots organizations. By empowering local leaders, our teams have served over 1.6 million meals since October 2024. #ChefsForNorthCarolina

Your Daily Affirmation:
I nurture the fire of a slow burning anger. A firewall of good cheer shields my people and preserves my calm, but I'm ready to burn this motherfudger down if that's what's called for.
My cause is true, my waffles are crispy. I am not afraid.

Just in case anyone forgot - or didn't even know in the first place - folks in Swannanoa, NC celebrated the completion of reconstruction on a bridge destroyed by Hurricane Helene. Before you go thinking this is a huge bridge, check out this video. #appalachian #hurricane #swannanoa #asheville
