I think of this Michelle Obama quote at least once a week now.

"I have been at probably every powerful table that you can think of, I have worked at nonprofits,... served on corporate boards, I been at G-summits, ... sat in at the U.N.: They are not that smart."

Michelle Obama Opens Up About 'Imposter Syndrome'

"It doesn't go away, that feeling that you shouldn't take me that seriously. What do I know?" Michelle Obama said.

Checked out the map today.

Not only does Waupaca have an event but so does Wautoma!

And they are at different times so a person could easily attend both... 😏

Screenshot from nokings.org showing yellow map of Wisconsin with many purple dots representing upcoming events. A pop up box advertises NO KINGS WAUTOMA, Oct 18, 11:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Agree with the cheese comment. Also: put it in a tortilla.

It may still suck but at least you can feed it into your mouth faster.

But I really appreciate these moderators!
Can we get them for presidential debates too?

Liz Everson @lizzieozzie.bsky.social · 1d

Yes!! I am waiting for someone to fact check this. Just a deadpan "Batteries work by storing energy for later."

Not since a Trump debate have I heard someone interrupt their opponent so often.

Good!!

Surviving medical emergencies should not just be for people with 40-hour-a-week office jobs who can pay monthly insurance premiums.

Yup.

This is totally who we are. Always has been. We need to own that shame.

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

Point and laugh at them.
Mock them so hard it makes their empty skulls ring.
Parody every last rotten inch of their dogshit circus until the whole thing looks as pathetic as it really is."

I keep seeing people post that the new White House memorandum on “anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian rhetoric or activities” terrifies them.

Yesterday, Adam from South Dakota called my SiriusXM show to say Charlie Kirk was unalived b/c people on the left use words like racism or facism to describe folks like Charlie.

That call did not end the way he thought it would.

I'm on my way to brunch with my in-laws who are 100% in this demographic.

They re-post videos of protests but don't show up to them.

They read every op-ed in the NYT and WaPo but don't write letters to their local newspapers.

They are relying on the courts to save us.

It started at 11am this morning, and speakers are still going. You can watch live on PBS if you want.

WATCH LIVE: Community organizers speak at protest against Trump's DC takeover

Trump took control of the Metropolitan Police Department in August in addition to deploying hundreds of National Guard troops, saying he was going to “take our capital back” from criminals.
