Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

I have been advocating for Kilmar Abrego Garcia & now it's time to also put our attention onto Andry Hernandez Romero.
trump condemned him to CECOT, in El Salvador. He came here as a gay man to seek asylum; he committed no crime in the U.S. and has followed all the steps here to seek asylum.

The public library is one of the most powerful ideas ever. Walk in with nothing—walk out with a world of knowledge. That kind of freedom is priceless. On Right to Read Day, let’s remind everyone that libraries are worth fighting for. #NationalLibraryWeek #BookSky 💙📚 #TLSky

Yesterday I pinned a lengthy post about how I partnered with my dad to start putting neighborhood libraries everywhere. I explained how red my county is. Forgot to even mention, this is where Randy Fine started his political career.🤮Thought Trump was bad? Randy Fine is worse. More vile & vindictive.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA?
President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants…
The book is called “The Jungle.”
