Super classy. Thanks for keeping decency in politics.

Exactly my feeling.

The execution might seem fast at this point, but this has all been in the making since the Reagan era at least. The Heritage Foundation et al played the long game and were very patient. They’re finally getting exactly what they’ve always wanted: a gov so small you could drown it in a bathtub.

Points for honesty, I guess?

Wow! Thanks for this. We swim at a nearby lake a lot this time of year and this is completely new info for me. It’s great to know what to keep an eye out for.

The Trevor Project can still be reached if you call or text them directly. Please share with those who need it.

I’m glad you’re here. I support your rights. The fight continues.

If you're trans and you ever have the thought that you don't have a reason to live, you have at least 2. I do not need to meet you to know that these 2 things are true:
1. Someone loves you. I know at least 1 person does. 100% certain.
2. Your survival makes the worst people on earth miserable.

Wow.
I mean, the ethical implications of that are immense, but on just a practical level, is the author not aware that we require signed donor cards to remove organs from someone who has died?

In Munich Germany with about 200 others today. AZ Secretary of State Fontes was in town and spoke to the crowd.

Might have to steal your “No Kings, Yas Queens” idea for the protest here in Munich. That’s brilliant!

Final foraging video of the day. It's worth spending 30 seconds watching. Unsure how much I'm breathing into the mic, feel free to mute 😂

I’ll be joining other ex-pat Americans in front of the US Consulate in Munich on Saturday. No Kings!

Who tf cares if Hegseth lied about the Marines’ readiness? Why aren’t military brass telling this administration they’re not going to turn the US military against its own people? “They’re not trained for domestic military operations and they’re not going to be!” That’s the response I want to hear.

Ditto affirmative action. They’re supposed to compete for jobs on a level playing field??

Yeah, the 10€ I had to pay for an ambulance (and the EMTs and Dr. that came with it) a couple years back here in Germany was crazy. You wouldn’t want that.

Yes, thank you. This stuff drives me nuts. And it’s more than just the question of luxury vs. necessity but also where we define luxury for those receiving aide versus for ourselves. If you leave people so poor that they’re struggling to get through their day, how will they ever get out of poverty?

Yes! Thank you! This is exactly what I want from my Reps.

If you could get those teenagers to learn to say, “between you and me,” I’d be happy to let “whom” go.

I’m 59 and my husband and I were recently shocked to realize we’d moved into this house in 2016 (we both would have sworn it was 2018, maybe 2017). 😅 How we packed and moved is a blur. We have demanding jobs that take up a lot of brain space, but nothing like POTUS.

I mean, let’s face it. She’s the ideal woman for this GOP.

Publisher here. Nothing wrong with buying used books & definitely nothing wrong with libraries. Reading is essential to education & democracy so I want books to be freely & easily available to all. That said, if you can afford new books, remember that we can only keep making them if we can sell them
