For the record, don't expect a follow-back if your feed shows fewer than two original posts--I don't know you. Don't go the DM route--immediately suspicious. If your feed is more than 40% political, I'm not interested. I don't give a fig about crypto.

I wonder if #RobertRedford had the opportunity to screen #ScarlettJohansson’s film, #EleanorTheGreat, before he left this world. I think, as one of her early mentors, he would have been proud of her achievements.

Pardon me if I delay celebrating this vile cretin losing until those poor Sandy Hook families he victimized for cheap publicity see all of the cash. I don't trust him for a second.

If I slept with my tongue out like that, there'd be slobber all over my pillow. Cats never slobber.

Quickest plunge from a surplus to a deficit in history. Thanks Idaho Legislature and Governor Little.

Idaho’s budget is broken because the Republican supermajority took care of the rich and forgot the rest of us. It’s time to stand up and take our state back.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈
