“The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love & support
She loved animals & she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her”

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

You’re an idiot if you think so about a guy who first took Army officer courses in the mid-1930s, when Hitler was putting his long-term goals into play after declaring himself Fuhrer the year before. I’m going to give you a break and blame recency bias. Read some books.

Oh, cool, you want to play semantics. He served. That meant something to him. You don’t think that means he opposed Nazis in every way? He was exempt due to a physical condition. Should everyone in the same situation be judged for not being in active service? If so, shame on you.

Good. Please do it. Please make sure it’s more than words, but actions. These thugs and criminals are running roughshod over everything, and most Americans are sick of it. #Resist #DoSomething

Reagan, who fought in World War II, would not put up with Nazi bullshit. Full stop.

Reagan would be pissed, which begs the question: Do their parents know how awful they are?

Good for Nancy. Also, the “journalist” who turned around and smiled, thinking she got Nancy on something. Sorry, honey, you just made yourself look ridiculous.

And no, I didn’t buy that cheese.

Laurie Brookins @lauriebrookins.com · 1d

I’m a creature of habit and buy the same things at the grocery store all the time. The total has risen, no question. I’m lucky bc I’m not extravagant and don’t have to worry about it too much, but I did notice today that a cheese I love is now $1 more. Someone needs to interview a few MAGA women.

Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.
