Mom, social worker and lifelong marketing student. Only sure of 1 thing: my recently potty-trained kid could serve this country better than the rich, morally bankrupt snowflakes in the GOP.

Just realized Musk and his broligarchs never read “The Lorax.”

I truly don’t blame Hegseth’s mom at all. But boy, she could really help the world out now by teaching parents where things went wrong with her son.

It’s as if he’s being fed an algorithm, too.

Oregon folks— juggle balls, play with balloons— greet the troops with a carnival! Will be a great photo op to show the world

Ah, well, the shooter inscribed that on there just in case the bullets hit an immigrant and not an ICE officer. 🧐

Resistance, refusal and RIDICULE are absolutely essential to deposing dictators. Bravo to the brave folks behind this.

Time to call out lawmakers who blocked release of Epstein files for exactly what they are: Senator Pedophile.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23.

A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

AND donate to his family? That already made millions? This is rich.

Who’s at the top of Sinclair? They shouldn’t be able to hide behind a company.

Doesn’t matter what political party he’s affiliated with, does it? But just in case you’re curious: www.ohioresidentdatabase.com/person/OH001...

Fighting male ego is exhausting, but always a sure-fire win.

I don’t want to “like” that. But I do sadly think I understand.

Michigan Mama @mamadoingsomething.bsky.social · Sep 11

As a (white) person, I’m revolted by the amount of whitewashing going on right now. I am sorry.

Yep. No one is saying he deserved it. Just sad for him and his family who probably now wish he was on the other side of the debate.

Gun control, now.

I understand what you’re saying, but, respectfully, it’s uninformed. Look at the research. Prison isn’t a deterrent; it’s a punishment.

Can we also mandate they do something to improve their mental health?

I envy the GOP for manufacturing and solving nonexistent problems like bathrooms. Must be so satisfying to get an A+ on every test you create.

(Meanwhile, they pull funding from pediatric brain cancer. Obviously real problems are just too hard, poor little snowflakes.)

Wait… can this be a real thing?

Map of US with red and blue states marked, with text saying “Blue states are actively discussing the concept of ‘soft succession’ or ceasing financial payments to the federal government. Under this model, blue states would start withholding any federal payments from businesses and individuals in their state that would total about $4.66 billion per day.”

What if they allowed B-Corps to advertise?

To the people who are outraged that the press would interview a kid who survived, I ask why? His staying silent won’t reduce his trauma. And maybe it’s about F’ing time we listen to the kids.

Gun control NOW.
