After the Sandy Hook Elementary school murders of twenty 1st graders and six educators in 2012, I rewrote the John Donne poem “No Man is an Island,” I called mine “No One is an Island.”

Someone just said that “Trump has something in his head.”
Oh no, said Mr. Bill from SNL years ago, it must be Junior Kennedy‘s brain worm!

She was just warming up wasn’t she? Because she knows none of that is true what that she said about Democrats.

I know, I just keep hoping you know? DRUMPF has awakened up my 1950s and 60s revolutionary brain from when I was a child and teenager. I’m so pissed off, my parents and my grandparents would be so pissed off too. I don’t know how they can be like that it’s 2025.

DRUMPF brought back my revolutionary brain. Damn, it was time to rest too many of my friends have died.
If you’ve never heard this song or if you haven’t heard it in a long time it’s time to listen to this Bob Dylan song by Hendrix.

Recently DRUMPF said that roughing each other up at home shouldn’t be a crime. I’ve never stopped thinking about Ivana Trump who, in their divorce depositions, testified that she had been brutally raped by him because of hair plugs.
Been there,
Kudos survivors 💜 🤗 🫂

I guess they’re like I was, too naïve to the fact of how many hateful, racist people there are in this country. But they should’ve known that shouldn’t they? I mean, they have statistics on their side and all? I never dreamed they would do it this fast.

I mean, I’ve read his resume and background, his wife uses a Fundy baby voice when she speaks, she’s so fundamentalist Christian, the guy needs to just fuck off, but I don’t know who can take his place. They’re all inept.

The GOP doesn’t know how to govern, LBJ said it in 1967 or 68.
They have no idea what to do, they’re lousy on the economy, they’ve shown to me after my many decades of life that all they want to do is make people’s lives harder, sicker, poorer, and whiter. I say that as a white woman.

Please excuse the typos it was this morning, and I started now pissed off. Life for me may not have been easy before 2016, but it was easier than when he became POTUS.

Thank you, but I had to get some wine because I was so pissed off and then I got so sad. I appreciate you!🌞

Exactly is the Republicans who haven’t done their job, their families need to know don’t they and their constituents that includes their 🌟 healthcare.

I’ve had PTS because I’ve worked in so many high poverty schools, when I see something like picture #1 I know many of “my kids” had been traumatized before they even got to school each day.
In #2, the little girl in Asia has a tough life, but she looks happy!

It’s wonderful, and the best thing to do with freaks like Miller, Vance, and Trump laugh at them, laugh at them laugh at them.

You know who was a big slum lord before his father-in-law became POTUS and then Saudi Arabia gave him $2.9 billion? Why yes, Jared Kushner.

Yes, the building owner could’ve driven them out because Wells Fargo took over the building from the woman who hadn’t made payments. Why this was allowed to happen and why this was encouraged. I have no idea but it just really pisses me off, this is so un American. They used OUR tax dollars to do it

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

So sick, Shelbyretired, that is after he turned from Democrat to Republican a few years back and now Alabama has Katie Britt in his place. A Christian fundamentalist groomed for that job, it’s just sickening.

Seven GOP lawmakers make a misguided trip to Russia

The problem has less to do with seven congressional Republicans going to Russia for the 4th of July and more to do with what they did while they were there.
