Black sheep, mom, wife. Baking is my side hustle. Disability advocate for my son. Perpetually exhausted but enjoying all the small things.

Here comes Elon out of the shadowy sewer that used to be called Twitter to pump 400 mil into this race….
This is criminal.
Do it
At this point you really start to wonder if they’re in on the whole thing somehow.
No way Beto beats Cornyn. I wish but we worked our asses off for him in Texas last time and couldn’t do it. There was more excitement for him back then, and he ran against a more hated Senator so I just don’t see that one at all. Maybe the Talarico kid could try but the odds are just not good.
I would be willing to donate to a crowdfund for producing a shit ton of Mexican flag magnets. Send me a 50 pack every month and we’ll get this party started. 😉
Jeffries Again refuses to endorse Mamdani. Meanwhile Mamdani’s popularity keeps growing & he’s further exemplified that his messaging and policies are wanted & real. The Dem establishment has missed its chance to step up. They’ve failed the bare minimum—reminding us why Dems have 26% approval.
Yeah… that’s kinda exactly what people who voted for him wanted. 🤷🏻♀️
We all know it’s only a matter of time…
Ummm. It was me. I needed to hear it. 🫣🥴
This turned out really well when everyone did it with Kamala, too. The fascists are still smiling about it.
I woulda spent the night in jail with a smile on my face if he did this to my son.
I didn’t have my contacts in when I first looked at this and I swear I thought it was AOC in the old timey glasses disguise and now my husband thinks I’m crazy because I’m just laughing hysterically in the bathroom. 🥸
It’s even more funny because the Right is like “BOYCOTT CRACKER BARREL!!!” And the Left is like “Cracker who???”
Here, fixed it.
In other words, she’ll sacrifice her child at the voting booth for the chance to hurt people she has never met but hates.
I had to reach out on social media, cold call doctors, beg and plead with everyone I could find, and have friends and family pull strings to get us seen in time.
Shortly after birth we suspected our son had a disease that if not treated in the first weeks would lead to massive brain damage and death before 1. We desperately needed a geneticist to confirm it so he could join a trial at the NIH. The hospital handed me a paper with the earliest appt 6 mos out
How lucky for the Nazi party that the richest man is very dumb and also a Nazi.
So time for some Black Panther style resisting then?
I need people to be prepared for the fact that effective resistance for the next year or so is often going to look a lot like losing. It’s depressing but reality is depressing lately.
This honestly just makes me wonder if both Putin and Europe have the Epstein files.
This is just what it looks like when you’ve sold your soul and there’s nothing genuine left of you.
I was hoping Europe had them and that’s what they were bringing with them yesterday to make the playing field more even.
My money is on ChatGPT.
I’m going to guess they know it isn’t legally enforceable kinda like some NDAs. I hope.
I don’t have time to deal with yall throwing a tantrum and not voting in the midterms because none of the candidates are progressive enough for you, or because you don’t have time, or because the line is too long, or because you’re tired. We’re fighting fascism. It’s an easy choice.
Done!
🔥 MUST-WATCH: “And that’s why it’s important to teach ALL history, Jillian — not just cherry-pick certain % when they work for your argument.” @debunktionjunction.bsky.social fires Jillian Michaels’ claim “only 2% of whites owned slaves” into the sun Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DNdRlSB...
General Tso’s Tofu is a regular rotation in our house and helps to keep the grocery budget down.
Putin wasn’t afraid to show the Epstein files me thinks.
He’s being ballsy with a touch of smugness and the swing of support from the party so desperate for anyone to fight right now are expanding his courage. He’s a shit but I can’t deny that he’s become an effective leader when not many others have been.
I swear…. white men are the safest species on the planet and somehow still the most afraid of everything.
It’s not a distraction. It’s fascism.
That sounds nice at first but as the mom of a child who is slowly and painfully dying from a really cruel disease, not believing in any of that is a small measure of peace for me. A random gene mutation in a random universe is far less horrifying for me than believing a god meant for this to be.
“Real Texans don’t run”. Ted Cruz and the Uvalde Police didn’t get that memo, Greg.
Gawd…. I hate that I have to live in this stupid state for the foreseeable future.
I mean… after the Clinton ban on ARs in ‘94 we saw a steep decline in mass shootings and then a HUGE increase the year after the ban ended. Seems like a start.
Starving a disabled child is not any better on the scale of grossly inhumane and evil choices.
what always kills me about this stuff is that most people won’t even know. they don’t know what happened today, and the direct line between it and their loss of healthcare or what have you. That the misery encroaching on their lives was intentional, and done by people staring them in the eye
What if we all send this article to his email…
www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
Send a notice from a new senator every single day. Keep them busy.
He didn’t get a good return on that investment. So like a spoiled, rich baby he wants to blow it all up. I really don’t care. Do you?
I mean…. dying from a lack of healthcare is kinda the same as “getting over it”.
I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.
Fund schools… like reallllly fund them. We can never vote our way out of a mess with an under educated electorate.
Delicious
Well this has been one of the better mornings since the election. 😅
Well he’s never been the brightest. It’s why they used him to get votes. He’s like playdoh in the hands of anyone that compliments his tiny brain.
How is the world a better place?
Now imagine Donald Trump sitting in Ted Cruz’s spot and how he would somehow be even more clueless. But he’s got the military and the nuclear codes. Cool country we have here.
This guy is one of my regulars. He didn’t want to show his face today but he did leave a very pretty photo of his stunning tail feathers. 🐦 🪶 #birds #birdbuddy
It’s this administration’s “one neat trick” to pushing us further into authoritarianism.
The reality of this is not anything like what the headline wants you to believe. It lessens the look of our credibility as a party.

My spirits are lifted after seeing so many turn up today. I feel less crazy than usual. Let’s be sure to bring this energy to the polls next year. #NoKings 🔥 👊🏼 🇺🇸
This is how John Lewis got his most grevious injury. He said he was willing to die for the cause and he wanted to make them look into his eyes as they beat him. I think this is how it goes and that really, really sucks because I think I know what it says about me that I don’t know if I could do it.
This is a huge point. Neither national party makes an unabashed case for 1) the positivity of immigration for our society and 2) the tremendous value we get from a well-functioning, well-funded, professionally run Federal government.
Twitter will have an absolute field day.
And to think he could’ve had such a lucrative career as the bad guy or serial killer in so many movies.
John Lewis would be proud of you today, Senator. Let’s keep up the good trouble!
I suggest all those going to #NoKings watch the John Lewis doc on Disney+ His story is an inspiration and he was a master of non violent protest that brought about some of the most significant changes in history. He never gave up and he wanted us to keep fighting the good fight. #goodtrouble
Like man…. THE ANSWERS ARE RIGHT THERE IN THE MULTIPLE VIDEOS. It’s a god damn open book test and you’re still failing. 🫠
House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.
Don’t believe our lying eyes, huh?
this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are
I’ll bring extra flowers for them. 🌺
GET LOUD and make good trouble. We can not stand for this.
WTF?! Our own government is declaring war on us. I need a very STRONG response from every single person on our side NOW!
What. The. Fuck.
I watched the John Lewis documentary last night and had this saddening realization that people will have to put their bodies on the line to see any change. They trained by beating each other up back the so they could take it better when they got beat in diners and on the streets. 😭
Me watching all the way through waiting for the shots. What a broken shithole we are. 😭
Ohhhh. I thought I was replying to a serious person. I see now. 😅
He’s saying “real Americans” aren’t comfortable with overly ethnic messages. I hear it loud and clear alright.
“Real” Americans? wtf…
By avoiding “anything they can use against them” the entire news cycle disappears. Media won’t cover peaceful protests and we have proof of that in LA right now. So genuinely, what should they do?
Sorry a city of 10 million couldn’t have a picture perfect protest as the gestapo ripped families apart and the US military descended upon it. 🤷🏻♀️ We should keep focusing on the flags for sure though. The media wouldn’t cover this in favor of protesters no matter how they did it and you know it.
Autocrats turn ordinary situations into emergencies so they can wield extraordinary power.
“No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices.” ― Edward R. Murrow
Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”
This administration does not have the cards. I repeat, they don’t have the cards. We outnumber them. We outnumber the military in this country. We outnumber the members of the administration. He’s high off his ass if he thinks 800,000 troops are going to patrol 4 million square miles of this country
This generation of kids will see social media as nothing more than government spy programs and I suspect, they will not participate. It’s funny that the government could be the downfall of the social media companies that gave them so much money.
This is literally just how people on drugs speak.
Baby Mill Motel is a band I would see though.
As the mom of a 12 yr old boy with a very rare disease that we know the exact mutation of, this is very cool. He had his 1st NIH visit at 5 wks old and last at 3 yrs old when treatment had to stop. This is the first glimmer of hope that there could be a cure for kids like him in a very long time.
I’m a 40 year old mom not even that far left and I’m so done with these geriatric assholes. They will really be shocked again when people don’t show up to vote again.
We need to keep doing this. We need to constantly remind the media and the people that these are ordinary people, not boogie men criminals. They’re human beings being grabbed by the real monsters who are ICE.
Go off, Queens.
An American elected Congress allowing it comes pretty damn close, though.
Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.
This made me laugh out loud, mostly because I have a cat named Potato. She escaped and got lost last week so I was out canvassing the neighborhood all day calling out “potatooooo” and now all I can imagine is gender neutral folks coming out of their homes, annoyed, trying to see what I want. 🤣
This can get the Target treatment too. 🚫
