Something I love about my marriage…almost every day starts with laughter. Sometimes light, sometimes full belly…this morning is tears rolling down my cheeks. Why? Because hubs has no farts to give. Yeah, I suppose you had to be there.

What can I say? My dad taught me to speak truth.

Just saw that she’s up to her normal insanity re: official language. 🙄 I knew she hadn’t changed. I really hate being right so often.

Who could forget the “Jewish space lasers”!?!?! 😹 I understand Jesus was a person of color, too, right? Is that two strikes, or three?

I’ve only had 2 close encounters with ”ICE”. First one, I followed orders…stepped back. Second, pretended I couldn’t understand through the mask. He got sooo mad at me, but removed his mask to repeat & I got his face. Everyone in town knows him now. Public errands have become…interesting for him.

What could *possibly* go wrong?

The whole point is to keep the rich & powerful alive & well. The rest of us peons should take our chances. People like me (disabled & medically “fragile”)? They wish they could strap me down & shoot me up with the worst strain possible, then watch my death spasms as I try desperately to breathe.

Courage is contagious. Pushback and speaking up inspires.

Everything you do makes a difference, no act of resistance is small.💖💖💖

It’s going to take A LOT more than a couple of stand downs for me to believe they mean well and finally grew a soul.

This is one of the best ideas *ever*!! Gotta make it anonymous, though, because those brave enough to point out WILL face retribution at home. Make it an updated version of “Telephone”. A family member tells a friend, who tells an acquaintance, who tells the cashier, who posts it on the downtown BB.

Rather pointless when we have a dictator telling us what we can & can’t believe. I guess we should try the normally legal routes, though. It will provide justification for possible future actions.

While you are correct, I never doubted it. She *always* knew & chose wrong. One of two things going on here…she finally found her line. OR…she finally figured out what issue will cost her votes. Still not using the right words, though. The word she’s looking for is “CHILDREN”.

They couldn’t pay me enough to go back. For a number of reasons. 1-If the “error” happened once, it will happen again. 2-How will the regime learn from its mistakes if it feels no pain from making them? 3-The regime won’t let them do their jobs anyway. Probably more, but 3 is a good number.

They won’t. It gets clicks, advertisers, noise, attention, $$$. Lies? Oh, it’s fine. No one will believe it anyway. 🤬

Well-behaved women rarely make history. I learned that from reading books. The books they ban. The books I own. I’m sharing those books. I do read-along groups with those books. I assume 🍊🤡💩 doesn’t play chess. Can anyone else tell me the most powerful piece on the board? I am woman, not powerless.

It’s criminal sadists using a criminal regime to practice the terrorism against “other” they have long wished for. These people were already subhuman, simply hoping for permission to be publicly subhuman for money.

It’s hard to stand tall and walk forward, but that’s what makes a hero. If they want to be knee-walking cultists with heads bowed…they’re doing a good job.

I believe it’s worse than we think. Which is bad enough.

Then those non-voters need to be told what they are. MAGAt cultist twatwaffle nimrod mouthbreathers. Not voting is no excuse, just like ”following orders” is not a defense.

It proves that when we push back, they run for the hills. Please, everyone, do the same when/if you can. Peacefully, safely, and with humanity.

Always worn over the shoulders, framing the face. I’ve had long hair nearly my whole life. The only time I have it framing my face like that is some formal pictures. Then it’s tucked behind my ear or swept to side part. I stopped the center part in grade school. You heard me…I know what I said.

Absolutely. The fact that he can’t pronounce “acetaminophen“ is just a funny bonus.
