Wow, what a difference a week makes! We’ve gone from fall vibes to full-on winter mode practically overnight. Now we’re staring down temperatures dipping toward zero, and snow is officially on the way! Time to break out the cozy blankets and hot drinks!

Exactly. Do they really think we are stupid enough to fall for this?? The unequivocal answer is: Yes. Yes they do. We are sicker, poorer and less safe because the spineless and faithless Republicans control our government. With a lot of hard work that will not be the case in another year.
When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

I think immigrants Make America Great.
I think most immigrants are not criminals.
I KNOW the president is a criminal.

The band Foreigner played their hit "Cold As Ice" in the Thanksgiving Day Parade this morning. Excellent (intentional???) shade.

You're digging for gold, you're throwing away
A fortune in feelings, but someday you'll pay."

Ditto. I am inspired every day by the actions of the people who share their stories here. Thankful for their fortitude and courage. Ever onward, let's keep up the good fight!
Happy Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for all of you, for the voices that rise up, the hearts that refuse to back down, and the courage that keeps the resistance moving forward. Tomorrow, there will be more of us. 💚✊

The Trump statue has finally been installed as part of Rapid City’s "City of Presidents" - months after tourist season, naturally. Apparently he spent the whole summer being babysat by the Visitors’ Center. Feels wildly on-brand. Honestly, this statue is so ugly it should come with a warning label.

Huh! Never thought of that. Of course they are. Bunch of pedo Republicans.
Has anyone noticed that most of the “professional degrees” that are being axed from federal loan eligibility are….

The truth couldn’t be clearer: today’s Republicans are obsessed with dragging women backward. They want us uneducated, barefoot, and pregnant. They are bending over backwards to shield abusers and chip away at women’s freedom, independence, and basic dignity. They are entitled, misogynistic thugs.
Mark my words, teaching will be next.
The regime is targeting loans for traditionally female occupations.

I realized it was only a matter of time for other professions once I heard the professional, moral, intellectual & ethical requirements to be POTUS were completely eliminated. 🤷🏻♀️

I need your best recipe for a potato side dish for Thanksgiving. No mashed potatoes, though, please.
Thanks in advance.

It's #thicktrunkTuesday. This tree grows in the Manassas National Battlefield Park, the site of the first and second battles of Bull Run. The first battle was the first major engagement of the Civil War. Bull Run is the stream that runs through the battlefield.

The more I travel, the more the world opens up to me. History, geography, culture, cuisine - each new place has left its mark. I’ve wandered across continents, and every journey has shaped me into someone a little wiser, a little braver, and endlessly more curious.
