Former news-junkie. Currently in mourning - lost both of my dogs and my country in a horrific 2 weeks. Trapped in a red state that I used to love.

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor.

You still have people saying, "I don't see any evidence that Musk is a neo-Nazi." And it's like, I can't know what's in his heart, but he follows them on Twitter, retweets them, promotes their conspiracy theories, parrots their rhetoric, and now recommends their party for Germany. But who knows?

RFK Jr supports ending vaccine requirements for attending public schools.
Tulsi Gabbard has regularly defended murderous dictators like Bashar al-Assad.
Pete Hegseth has promoted baseless theories about January 6th and joked that “women shouldn’t have the right to vote.”

just blurted out in class "yes, you have to cite where you got your info. in a world in which lying loudly is the only thing that seems to get rewarded, citing your sources is an act of resistance" and folks, I really believe that.

The fact that I know more about Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship than I do about the crimes committed by Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Republicans couldn’t even pass a bill to keep the government open that they negotiated with themselves—after blowing up a bipartisan deal with Democrats because Elon Musk and Trump told them to. And then 38 Republicans voted against their own bill. 🤡

With a government shutdown looming, one thing that was in the package that has increased the quality of life of people on Medicare is telehealth. Without funding by December 31st telehealth will no longer be available for millions of Americans. That breaks my heart not only for me but for millions!💔

My favorite part of Star Wars was the scene where the Resistance leaders decide against trying to destroy the Death Star and instead kick in $1 million each for Palpatine's inauguration.

My insurance company denied medication my Dr. prescribed for me. I was able to fill it and pay out of pocket at @mcuban.bsky.social's Cost Plus Drugs. It was super easy and super inexpensive. Thank you Mark for caring more about helping us than feeding your ego. 🙏🙇♂️

My rage goes back and forth from "What the fuck is wrong with Americans?" to "Fuck them all - they'll get president and the country they deserve." The fact is I will probably be fine no matter what. But I wanted OTHER PEOPLE to be fine.

Goodbye Resistance, Hello Opposition
For those of us who refuse to get in line, to accommodate the rollback of civil and human rights, what is our choice? I think the answer is opposition.
