Been married for 31 years and have twin sons 30 years old. I like crocheting, knitting, tatting, cross stitching, plastic canvas, jazz music and classic movies.
On Sunday I went out to get my Mrs. Santa Claus out on the front porch a new light because here went out and I needed to replace it. I first went to Nicholson's downtown but they didn't have it but so anyway I had it searched with Menard's online so I drove to the Machesney Park store

I forgot to show these that Blake J. Simmons @liftedsnake.bsky.social took of the Christmas decorations in the lobby of his apartment building. Since it's still being remodeled after the major for there last year in 2024. I see they went all out in decorating this year. 🤗🤶🎄🎅❤️

Felt like I needed to show the president's anti-Somali speech because one day people will tell her it never happened, that these words were never said by the American president.

If you haven't watched this speech from The American President before.. you should.

I had it pinned for four years on my Twitter account during Trump's first administration, and it's for good reason.

I really don’t understand how a Trump has a defamation case against the BBC.

Every political speech gets edited.

His actual speech was freely available in full EVERYWHERE

He did nothing to calm down the insurrection.

He is currently president of the USA so what reputational damage?

Oh. Cool. Just as the President is using every power he can to suppress dissent and stifle speech, @whitehouse.senate.gov and the @judiciarydems.senate.gov are trying to hand Trump a new tool to suppress speech online.

What a joke.

Nancy was always there to help women. Years ago, she helped me fight for equality in research of heart disease, the number one killer of women. She may be stepping down now, but she will never give up the fight.

This weekend saddened me immeasurably. First the tragic shooting at Brown University, then the horrific massacre in Australia, and then 2 people I knew personally Rob and Michelle Reiner lost their lives.

Rob and I came up in the industry together and he was a wonderful actor, and a very gifted director. He was also a passionate activist and human being. He will be sorely missed.😢
May he and his wife rest in peace 🙏

This isn’t enforcement. This is harassment.

They’ve grabbed people off the street for how they look, separated families, and scarred communities with masked agents with guns.

I encourage everyone to do as they have — peacefully protect your neighborhoods and neighbors.

Today, I’m proud to sign the Northern Illinois Transit Authority Act into law.

Our new regional authority will modernize Illinois’ transit systems — and we’re doing it with no new statewide taxes.
