Goodnight from Tuscany.

Destroyed freedom and democracy by being submissive to Putin. Worse??? The total capitulation by both GOP houses of congress….

Who is ready to bring it?

Did you know there is a delicious chocolate cake recipe from the 1930s depression era that is egg free? 10 out of 10. Promise

New #bluesky rule dropping: you cannot post about food unless you share the recipe <drooling>

Toni reminds us that we each hold the power to heal by doing THE work. This weekend we're committed to: - taking our dogs for a walk - checking on 2+ fed friends - making a batch of veggie soup - calling our senators re the budget (& Medicaid's risk) What about you? Share your intentions. Goodnight.

I'm currently pretending that the US has not been taken over by a band of hateful morons. I'll join the fight soon. Meanwhile in Lucca

I was talking to a friend of mine about the coup. She said she couldn't focus on the state of our union because she has a HS senior daughter. Friend, that's exactly why you need to focus on it.

My kid is wrestling between a great job offer to stay on the West Coast and a really good job offer to move back to the East Coast. I'm a wreck. I'm trying to hold on to my (silent) hope.

Have you found your purpose? I keep looking, but mine is MIA. In about 45 days, I'll be searching full time. Advice? Suggestions?

Venice is truly magical.

📣 NY Southern Tier: we’re up! Yes, it will be windy and very cold at noon but I ask you, to what degree will you go to #ResistFascism? #PresidentsDay

Now that's not very North Korea-ish is it?

I promised myself I would create this year instead of incessantly doom scrolling.

I'm discovering Lugana wines here in Verona. Big fan. #loveitaly

I've been in Europe for 2 weeks with 2 more to go. I thought I'd have time to get home and help by marching in the streets. Looks like it'll be too little too late.

Time is really running out.

The saddest thing about this kid is that he seems to be mimicking the way he is spoken to. There is a way to get kids to behave using kind words.

A reminder from Verona, the city of love: love wins, but only if you fight when you must. #democracy

Gutted. My kid has decided to accept a counter offer and remain with his current employer 3k miles away. I love California too, but <sob>

I'm in Europe. Here for a couple of weeks. I hope our democracy lasts until I can get home and help in my little ways.

I'm so proud of my kid. Graduated in Dec 2023, landed a job right away & now he has 2 more job offers. I love to watch him soar.

What if our international allies pick up the baton and run a leg or two for democracy and decency and humanity while we take the time for self care in order to shake off these fascistic fleas? Give us a beat, team. We'll be back. Why am I randomly feeling hopeful today?

The universe was not so cruel as to give me a #Bills superbowl that I would have to boycott or a quarterback who bends the knee to an orange clown.. a perfect example of #everythingforareason. Go Bills. Do good. God bless.

MAGA mom is currently in Florida. She lives with me full time. When she returns, I think i should block her cable news sources. Legit or petty? Discuss.

Another way those mfs boiled the frog: for years, they screamed about Democrats being socialists/communists. Of course, it wasn't and isn't true. So now, when the Nazis are literally in the house, the non engaged are like 'calm down, it's just politics. Both sides are guilty of name-calling.'

I was in the Louvre this morning and stopped in front of this painting. It brought tears to my eyes. How brave will we have to be? #democracy #democrats

Imma bout to stroll the streets of Paris in purple hiking pants -- yet another reason for French pity. I love it here. I hate my wardrobe.

In December I thought,'The dems are working on a plan to thwart these mf Nazis.' Guess I was wrong. #deathofdemocracy

That cappuccino and croissant i had this morning is going to keep me up all night, isn't it?

Just landed in Paris. Keep thinking of the choice between collaborating or resisting. No particular reason

As we grieve the airplane collision in DC, I keep thinking about the air traffic control team and the crews on the ground. They need our support and prayers, too.

Flying to Paris on Saturday. I'm hoping to soothe my soul after the twin losses of a #Bills superbowl and the denise of #democracy

Toulouse, aka Tutu, is displeased. Borrowed a friend's #cat so I could join the Bluesky kitty cavalcade
