I’m still recovering from surgery so I can’t attend No Kings today, but I’m there in spirit!
Stay safe everyone.

When your party is fighting over whether or not to condemn racism, you are pretty clearly on the wrong side of history.

As the White House attempts to redirect focus to violent Democratic rhetoric, Republicans face the vexing choice of how to respond to a trove of hateful messages.

I just flew to Florida and had surgery. They couldn’t find a vein for my IV, which always happens.

I’m glad to see Ferguson step up. He has been pretty lackluster since he was elected, I’m glad to see some fire in his belly.

My husband just told me he got tickets to the ALCS and game 5 of the World Series (if the Mariners make it)
This is going to be an ugly credit card bill, but it’s worth it!

True. Anything can be twisted into a conspiracy for them.

Not unusual at all. Completely par for the course for this administration.
It’s all a grift. Every single decision is based on financial motives.

How are the MAGA sycophants squaring their refusal to get “the jab” with the fact that their dear leader just got a booster?

I just bought flowers to send to a funeral. Such a scam.

The flowers were $100
Service Fee: $10
Credit Card Fee: $4
Delivery Fee: $15

Why do companies do this? All of the fees are maddening.

I am being SO gaslit by a software company. It's so frustrating. They won't admit their system is making a mistake and instead insisting "That's how it's supposed to work!" Sure, for only one person out of our 65 employees, it is supposed to work differently.

This seems like a threat to the 10/18 protests to me. They are going to say people attending are “Antifa” or some crap and send in their thugs to break up peaceful protests. Their playbook is painfully transparent.

Just a reminder to anyone questioning this:

Tylenol does not cause autism.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I’m not a fan of circumcising babies, but to try to say it’s linked to autism??
He is absolutely insane.

Circumcision ‘highly likely’ linked to autism, RFK Jr. says in wild new Tylenol claim

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed there may be a link between circumcision and autism — due to the use of Tylenol following the procedure.

Hot take:
I don’t like Halloween.
I never have.
I don’t like being scared, I don’t like spiders and skeletons and blood.
The only thing I like is seeing cute kids in costumes happily trick or treating.
I can’t wait until spooky season is over and it’s Thanksgiving season.

Even a vile person has moments of decency. She is 99% vile. That’s still too much vile to be welcomed into polite society.

Kate Good 📚 @kategood.bsky.social · 9d

She is absolutely going to announce a new grift. Nothing she does is ever for the people of this country, it is always self serving, just like her husband and the rest of his family.

Brandi Kruse implying that in some way she was liberal is a joke. She has always been conservative, she just toned it down slightly to fit into the Seattle market.

Kate Good 📚 @kategood.bsky.social · 9d

My daughter’s high school outside of Seattle had a resource officer that was unarmed. She was integrated into the school and was well regarded by the students and staff. That model worked.
I would not be happy to see armed police at schools at all. Schools should be a no gun zone period.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?
