Trump is an abuser. First he'll desecrate, then he'll destroy.

Our incoming president is doing everything possible to embarrass this country. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/u...

A funny one by Steve Martin & Harry Bliss

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

I feel that same throbbing wound in my heart that I experienced a few times before. When I learned my fiancé was screwing other guys, when my mother abandoned my family, and again, now - when my nation chose fascism and hard times ahead through a racist villain who is guilty of sex abuse and fraud.

These Neocons want to use the word MANDATE because we all know, they can't get one with a woman. :p

BREAKING: The U.S. House just passed a bill that could devastate nonprofits, chill free speech, and hand Trump unchecked power. Why H.R. 9495 is a disaster waiting to happen and why the U.S. Senate must reject it. ⬇️

Sarah McBride: "I worried that the heart of this country wasn't big enough to support someone like me. And over the last decade, I have been able to bear witness to change that once seemed so impossible to me as a kid that it was almost incomprehensible ... I carry that with me."

Tammy Duckworth on Tulsi Gabbard: "I think she's compromised ... Russian controlled media called her a Russian asset."

Vaccines against COVID-19 saved over 20 million lives in the first year alone, according to a study in Lancet Infectious Diseases. Anti vaxxers conveniently ignore such stats.

Vanity Fair's weird story about Cormac McCarthy grooming an abused 16-year-old girl and then stealing her stories and voice for his books thing has really bothered me (and a lot of other women). A bit more on that subject from my memoir Recollections of My Nonexistence about muse as trap....

When all is said and done we’re going to realize just how fucking close this election really was. This is no landslide.

“Freedom means you decide who you are, and then when things change around you, you continue to be that person. And in so doing, you do constructive work. You set an example for other people. You meet new people who are also trying to remain themselves.” www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

Half of Shakespeare’s plays are sex and the other half are literal fart jokes but nobody would shame you for reading that bullshit in public. And this what I be talking about!

You don’t need the opposing viewpoint when the opposing viewpoint is literally fascism.

A real man who is secure in his masculinity isn’t threatened by anyone who has a different notion of masculinity.

New in PN: "Black women have long had to navigate being twice as good to get half the amount of credit. Kamala Harris’s presidential run was evidence of this." -- @itsafronomics.bsky.social
