Retired, mom of 3, grandma to 12, great grandma to 1. Branson Missouri is home, and being a Democrat in Mo is...well a little depressing 😕.

So Trump’s Border Czar nominee wrote the section on the border for Project 2025’s manifesto and Trump’s FCC nominee wrote the section on the FCC for Project 2025. But Trump had no connection to it and doesn’t know anything about it.

Try this: move the BlueSky app icon to where your Twitter icon is. Then slide your Twitter icon off your main screen. You’ll notice a vast improvement in your blood pressure.

Had lots of folks ask, so here’s the plan:

I’m hoping tonight will be my last AMA on Twitter.

I’m going to announce it that way with the goal of driving as much traffic as possible away from Elon.

Starting next week, AMAs will be here as long as this platform works well for them!

Interesting reactions from some Muslim communities who voted Stein, Trump or didn't vote. A realization we're all f'd, especially Palestinians, but an unwillingness to own up to to it. Instead it's a combination of "Yeah we must prepare but at least we showed Harris! Look at the power of our vote!"
