I'm here because certain other places are cess pits.
Happily married, sports mad, I read and I watch films, and now I’m officially retired.
Ardent feminist.
Follow me and I may follow back, but only because it seems fair.
Lots of folks are very kindly following me here so I apologise for being very slow at understanding which are legitimate before I follow back. Made that mistake too often on certain other platforms. Faceache, Twatter anyone? 🤔

I’ve seen numerous posts regarding the hunger strikers who are close to death. What’s disturbing is the number of comments cheering and whooping. Have we come to that, a nation full of cold hearted bastards who prefer to support a genocide?

Fuck you all! I make no apologies for the language.

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.

Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.

Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files.

No racists here then?!
"I hope your beeper doesn't go off."

A year ago today, a racist tried to make a 'joke' about me being killed by Israel. It was the 1st time I've ever walked off of live TV. That night CNN said they'd ban the racist from their air. But in the year since, I myself haven't been invited back on CNN.
Absolutely insane moment on CNN

Trump is such a fucking juvenile
NYPD stops Macron's car because the street is closed for Trump's convoy.

Macron phones Trump seeking passage. It doesn't happen.

The Guardian says Macron and party were allowed to cross into the frozen zone on foot. They walked for 30 min to the UN.

On X, wags say it was a humiliation of Macron.

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
