THIS! 100% this…

What happened to this country?

Amid the backdrop that more than a dozen members of Trump's Cabinet are billionaires, a reminder that this is what happened to income inequality in this country once the tax rate for top earners was slashed after 1980. Trickle down does not work and top earners' priority is themselves.

Tulsi, call your office.

“Donald Trump represents the opposite of the big stick policy. He’s all about his ‘tiny stick’ or his ‘small stick energy,’” writes Ben Meiselas.

Republicans are trying to steal a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court by throwing out more than 60,000 lawful votes. You won't see this in the legacy media, but we are shining a light on this. Watch and share my interview with Democratic Justice Allison Riggs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=54Dg...

Nearly every single Republican voted against releasing the Matt Gaetz ethics report. Remember this the next time they pretend to care about protecting minors.

BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain’s constitution so they “can never be undone.”

REALLY IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE SHARE #ASafeChoice physicians WILL prescribe medication abortion via telehealth FOR WOMEN WHO ANTICIPATE NEEDING THIS MEDICATION. REPEAT: You do NOT need to be currently pregnant to get this prescription. In an era of potentially draconian abortion bans, take note!

😭

Numerous times this week, I’ve learned of news breaking on Bluesky before Twitter. In the past, it’s only ever been Twitter. Bodes well for the future of this site. Small note: I wish there was a way to segment notifications (people I follow, mentions, etc). cc @jay.bsky.team

I’m finding the community here far more engaging and respectful, while still wickedly funny. Happy to be migrating to these friendlier skies.

Be aware

This is good news— and predictable. Threads was insistent on throttling political content, insistent on using a non-linear timeline, and insistent on promoting the same type of mindless engagement bait (“what’s the solution to this math problem?”) that rendered Facebook unusable.

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

Oopsie poopsie!

Daily dog pic - reminding myself that some things are still ok. Sadie: “Mom, why are you waking me up?”

RFK Jr. attacks "red state people" in recently unearthed footage: "Red state people are more likely to murder you, to impregnate your teenage daughter, to commit a violent crime against you..."

Remember this. We are weaker now. “Trump has groomed us.” Try to hold and speak and advocate what you know is right and true. We’ve already moved so far. Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty.

Bluesky seems to be eating twitters lunch

same girl, same

Trump isn't even in office yet & we're already talking about letting him bypass the Constitution as though that's a normal conversation to be having.

Don’t like a book? Don’t read it. Pretty simple.

Kamala Harris lost because there are a lot of stupid people in our country. That's where the blame lies. People who voted for him. Also with the politicians that nominated him to begin with being that he's a literal fucking felon and rapist who deserves to be in prison. That's it.

Happy Saturday, bitches.

Lol

Tolerance is a crime when applied to evil.

Here with my fur kids hoping to find a new, less toxic space than TikTok. Hoping to find some of the folks I followed over there, over here. :)
