Pete Hegseth should resign or face impeachment charges.

Last night on TME w/ @johnfugelsang.bsky.social, Rep. @annaforflorida.bsky.social spoke about what local leadership should look like and her run for Mayor of Orlando.

I've had back, kidney, and/or stomach issues for the past couple of weeks, but I am finally starting to feel better.

NEW: A delegation of four House Democrats has traveled to El Salvador to push for the release of Kilmar Ábrego García. The official trip, including Representatives Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, Maxwell Frost of Florida, and Robert Garcia of California, comes after…

I can see Sarah Palin losing her lawsuit from my house.

As a former professional athlete, the only people I ever met with $3000 in cash on them were getting ready to go to a strip club

I had to look up the definitions of both words, as I don't use either that often in my regular vocabulary.

This is a must-read by @neurodivergentrebel.substack.com.

I've been a bit snarky lately since the RFK thing last week. For all the non-autistic people out there, I'd love to ask how you would feel if a public official said a group of people you belong to "has become an epidemic" this country needs to "solve"? I’m tired.

Pete Hegseth must immediately resign or be removed. His complete disregard for procedure and overall gross incompetence is an ongoing threat to national security.

I offer my condolences to the Catholic world and everyone else who respected the late Pope Francis.

To those celebrate, Happy Easter, 420, or...Weedster, I guess? I'm not religious, and I don't use cannabis, so I don't know if Weedster is a thing.

Donald Trump has zero class whatsoever.

I'll be back on here this weekend. I thank everyone on this platform who has supported and thoughtfully engaged with me on here, but I need a short mental health break.

It breaks my heart reading this post. Gun violence is far too prevalent in America because guns are far too easy to obtain.

Allentown, Pennsylvania standing up for equality!

#SCOTUS will hear a case 4/22 about whether parents have the right to opt out their kids before LGBTQ-inclusive books are read in public school classrooms. It’s about more than just books, however, as newly filed amicus briefs show. #BookSky #QueerKidLit #LGBTQ #MomSky mombian.com/2025/04/17/u...

Transgender women are women. Transgender men are men. Autistic and other neurodivergent people are human. These are all inherent truths, no matter what those in power say.

Trump can’t actually fire Jay Powell; he can only demote him. But let’s say he is able to somehow strong arm the Fed to pull down interest rates. Tariffs are creating an inflationary environment that will only get worse unless Congress puts a stop to this nonsense

In the early 20th century, bigotry against left-handed people was prevalent in society, and when discrimination against left-handed people faded away, the percentage of left-handed people "rose" to where it has always been, around 10-12% of the population.

I thank @jessicabenham.bsky.social, who is one of the few autistic people who have held elected office, for her amazing service! I also thank @erinmayequade.bsky.social and @annaforflorida.bsky.social for being amazing allies of the autistic and neurodivergent community!

Hat tip to @btjak.es for breaking this news to me today. Something other-worldly, to put things in cosmic perspective. Two gases only known to be produced by life found with 97% certainty on a planet far far away. This world, thought to be covered by an ocean, could be home to life!

RFK Jr. wants to erase autistic and neurodivergent Americans. We won't be erased. #Autism #ADHD #Neurodiversity

Chris Van Hollen is sticking his neck out for Abrego Garcia. May he find answers and return safely. Only democrats help the underdogs. That’s us. Republicans are aligned with the cruel, insane fascists, The Broliarchy. You’re an un-American brainwashed POS if you call yourself a Republican.

Ed Martin is a Russian stooge.

Congratulations to Rory McIlroy on winning the #Masters and completing the Career Grand Slam in men's golf!

The apparent arson at the Pennsylvania governor's mansion is a serious and heinous attack on democracy. I'm grateful that the Governor and his family were safely evacuated.

The rollout of the #TrumpTariffs is completely FUBAR in every way imaginable. newrepublic.com/post/193930/...
