My husband's grandmother caught covid at Thanksgiving 2020 & died by Christmas. Five years later, and I'm still baffled that this family decided to travel from all over to have Thanksgiving with an elderly pancreatic cancer patient during the outbreak of a novel virus for which we had no vaccine. 🤯

I've been getting into a bit of trouble lately with my social media posts. My husband says I need to get offline. I think I will, but not before dropping a few more hot takes.

Washington, D.C. at safety levels we've never seen? Dude, 2 National Guard members were killed steps from your office 2 weeks ago. This man is a joke.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

Every time I see an American flag at night that isn't lit, I think of my Uncle Seamus. He brought his flag inside from his porch every night like clockwork because he didn't have a light on his. I miss him so much.

The impact of the destruction of USAID is so wide-ranging. We got a field report from one of the poorest states in India, where foreign aid funded "TB champions" who educate and assist tuberculosis patients. Without their help, advocates expect a 36% increase in cases & 68% rise in deaths from TB.
Losing India’s Guardian Angels - The American Prospect
USAID funding supported efforts to eradicate tuberculosis in India, one of the country’s deadliest diseases. Now, that money and support is gone.

Mark wouldn't do a couples costume with me, so I enlisted the dog. Ruby the Riveter has a nice ring to it! She can be bribed with only so many treats before she gets sassy.

What a great day to exercise the right to protest! I went to a smaller No Kings Rally near my house today. 75 people spread out on the four corners near our local library/city hall. This group is made up of alot of seniors and retirees who are out here every week. The signs today were fabulous!

Donald Trump gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout while USDA says it must stop SNAP grocery assistance on November 1.
If you are powerful and connected, then you get a bailout, but if you are a regular Illinois family, you don’t get a cent to afford food.

I am always flattered when I am one of the first people to be told pregnancy news by a friend or family member. However, I am also a YAPPER, and keeping secrets is the worst!! This all to say, tell me when you tell the general public. I won't be offended. Also, congratulations to [names redacted] ❤️

Same guy who declared bankruptcy 6 times shut down the U.S. government 4 times in 5 years of being President. They wanted him to run the government like his businesses and that’s exactly what he’s doing.
