In case anyone is interested - here’s my mom and aunts + all their children and grandchildren plus the sisters’ biological cousins (who said their own moms spent their lives looking for ‘the girls’) and *their* children and grandchildren.

Imagine if Republican lawmakers worked as hard to give health care to poor kids as they work to cover up the Epstein files.

I reunited my mother and her two sisters after they’d been adopted separately in the 1940s and as a result connected cousins, aunts, uncles and a passel of previously unknown relatives. It’s the single greatest accomplishment of my life (besides raising my kids!)

More power to him. I do have to wonder if anyone will heed his call.

Not just the hearse but the whole procession. I think it must be a Chicago thing because I’ve never seen once since I left the area a decade ago n

How ironic that a funeral procession was passing by.

I’m just glad she could get the gender affirming care she - like all Americans - deserves.

2019? Wow. And he’s still bigly driving the country off a constitutional cliff.

So sorry I don’t want to read this because I don’t have the mental energy to think about the next charlie kirk. Things are too depressing right now to glance up at the horizon of faux-christian hate.

Maybe the only silver lining about this whole mess (i.e. the nation’s continued decline into an authoritarian regime) would be more people discovering - or rediscovering - this amazing show.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown

Small business owners, self-employed people and early retirees are among the 24 million Americans who could lose the tax credit

MAGA is fawning over Erika Kirk right now, but there's no way she can keep Charlie's audience.

His bread and butter was sexualized humiliation of college girls — more "Girls Gone Wild" than doing politics the "right way."

His followers won't hear it from a woman.

Don't worry — Erika Kirk will never replace her husband

She can't replicate his brand of gutter misogyny

I know you are a bluesky hater; but I refuse to get on twitter so maybe pass on to your pal, Tommy that his conversation with
@lilymasonphd.bsky.social was one of the most impressive things I’ve heard regarding the current political climate. Thank them both.

Just find out where the money went? Does he still have it?

My #1 question is: where’s the $50,000?

idahohuckleberry.bsky.social @idahohuckleberry.bsky.social · 17d

These people seem very excited to have a real-life martyr they can exploit.

Finally they have cover to finish wrecking the Constitution in the name of making an enemy of the state out of anyone not sufficiently bowing down to Kirk.

Could it be a pretext for starting a war? Along with the Venezuela murders, it seems like he’s jonesing for a war so there’s some national emergency he can use as cover to become more dictatorish.

Does he still have the money?

idahohuckleberry.bsky.social @idahohuckleberry.bsky.social · 18d

He’s asserting the license the supreme court issued him.
