It doesn't start with mass murder. It starts with divisive rhetoric, demonizing the vulnerable, and false nationalism. Doing my best to think critically, fight bigotry, & reject manipulative propaganda. Just a woman, herding her cats and resisting fascism.

I remember when Herman Cain inconveniently died of COVID at the start of the pandemic, and MAGA just acted like he never existed. I don't know how things would play out for Trump, but I sort of expect his body & his legacy to be thrown on the trash heap once he's gone, regardless of the cause.
Love this throwback.
A fall like that could have so easily fucked up your jaw and teeth. I'm sorry it happened, but so glad it wasn't worse.
All us southerners have nuts in our pecan trees.
Really thought it was real, because that's where we're at now in this MAGAt-controlled hellscape.
I really don't think you can commit that kind of horrific abuse over and over with multiple victims without inadvertantly killing someone. And I don't think many of the abusers are above deliberately killing someone, either.
All that, and no indoor slides?
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
A severe trauma to the body, like major surgery, can do all kinds of things. Strokes, blood clots, a heart attack, are all possible. If he has dementia, the anesthesia alone could fast track his deterioration enough to render him incapacitated.
Bone spurs are a hell of an affliction.
Bar associations really should intervene with any lawyer acting in bad faith.
#ETTD, just not fast enough.

You're right, but I feel like Trump acts like a magnifying glass in the sun. He amplifies and centralizes evil and hate and maximizes their destructive force. Without him, it's all still there, but I'm hoping a lot more diffuse. Break the focus, foster the infighting, break the power. 🤞
It's crazy that folks think it's so easy to tell what people are. I worked at my uni gym, & part of my job was distributing locker keys. Back then, you didn't ask gender, & we got it wrong a LOT. So much easier when people manage themselves. 100% we've all used the restroom w trans folks. It's fine.
I am so sorry. These decisions are absolutely unconscionable. Thank you for your service supporting world health. I hope you're able to move on & live the life you deserve. May every single person aligned with this administration never have a single moment of peace for the rest of their lives.
My insurance only works at CVS, and my state is on the list. Fuck.
I hope Biden is doing OK. I miss his sweet, boring, ice-cream loving ass. Still can't believe where we are right now.
I would be shocked. I find it hard to believe Trump's ego would allow him do anything that hints at weakness or an inability to do the job. And, assuming he is, as I believe, medically unfit, I would never expect him to show the level of self awareness required for him to admit that.
Maybe, but I tend to believe they're Eugenicists trying to kill off those they think are weak.
Bless him.

I loved those kinds of crossovers back in the day, but it sucks getting only half a story in reruns.
I'll watch it again on a new device!
At my university job, there was one woman who did little, was unhappy w life, & bitter about the very young dept. manager, & she hated me from day one. It was wild to have a completely normal & uneventful convo w her, then watch her rush past my office to the manager she also hated to "tell" on me.
Their SOP is to freak out over fake shit and grossly exaggerated nonsense, so that tracks.
If everyone targeted by the current wave of fascism locked arms, we'd be unstoppable. Jettisoning the most vulnerable is not an option.
Really would be helpful if bar associations would look at revoking the membership of some of the lawyers acting in bad faith.
As long as folks don't wear gloves, use ladders, or try to climb at night, it's a brilliant idea. 🙄
BREAKING: Jon Ossoff just destroyed JD Vance in a way we didn't think was possible. This is absolutely amazing.
I wish everyone had done this instead of caving - politicians, media, companies, university leaders. It's so simple, and been so effective. Newsom shouldn't be out on that limb by himself.

I want to kiss Bella's soft little forehead so much!
I have an old plastic fishing lure that is filled with mercury. I'd say about 7 or 8 thermometers' worth. We really are such a cancer.
I once had a client a local prosecutor called a "career criminal." Tbh, client had multiple arrests. For stealing food. Because otherwise they wouldn't eat at all. Because they couldn't get a job because of previously being arrested for stealing food. A society has the criminals it creates.
Can I Get A “Hell Yeah?” 😉😉😉
Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.
Let That Sink In! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏾
I'm so sorry that man lost his sandwich.
The composition of that picture certainly is... something.
IDK. I'd trust Colbert to ask good questions and consult actual experts. I think he'd be fine. And, by extension, I could tolerate Stewart, too. "Blue no matter who," and all that. At least I would be able to sleep at night.
We still have not had it, thanks to vaccines, masking when appropriate, and social distancing. My biggest fear is bringing it home to my mother and ultimately causing her death. I am so afraid for the future.
Jordy: Not to put on my conspiratorial hat here, but you don’t just build a $200 million ballroom if you’re planning on moving out of the White House in three years.
Fun Fact: Donald Trump is responsible for 21.4% of the national debt.
LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.
“A Republican is somebody who couldn’t enjoy eating unless he knew someone else was hungry.” ~Mary Karr
As a native & lifelong Southerner, I 100% concur. My entire wardrobe, down to my underwear, has lasted longer than the Confederacy did. So much death and suffering caused by failed traitors, and all for nothing but a shameful legacy. Embarrassing.
Remember when Vice President Harris bought a few quality cooking items at a French cookery store with her own money and legacy media melted down? J.D. Vance literally used the Army Corps of Engineers to manipulate a public waterway, so he’d have an easier time kayaking and it’s a blip on the radar.
Everything about him is just so... icky.
Kennedy Curse Sure Taking Its Sweet Time With RFK Jr.
Donald Trump f*cked kids. That should be what people post about nonstop until hell freezes over.
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
I really do hate that episode!
JFC.
I hate them so much.
ABC confirms that Trump defense attorney Todd Blanche got Ghislaine to perform like a trained seal and then promptly moved her to comfier digs where sex traffickers aren't supposed to live. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-adm...
Parents today exhaust themselves because society expects them to have eyes on kids 24/7. My folks made sure we had cereal, milk, & sandwich fixings, and that was mostly the extent of their weekend parenting. If we created a fuss, we got booted out the house. No wonder fewer people want children.
I'm so glad I didn't bring children in this world just to have them become more fodder for billionaires.
Bless them.
“Sesame Street” and its sequel, “The Electric Company,” were, “with lapses, the most intelligent and important programs in television,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.
This is fake. He probably believes it, but never said it on the record.
This is Virginia Guiffre's statement to Ghislane Maxwell, read by Guiffre's attorney in court the day Maxwell was sentenced. I had to divide it into 2 parts. Please read each & share. These are the words of a child rape victim, a victim of the monster Trump now protecting & arranging her freedom.
Don’t let them forget, ever, and don’t be distracted: EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN Infinity
"What if we taught men to get laid leftistly" what if men cared about the loss of our bodily autonomy, the abuse we face as a result of coerced economic dependence and the actual pandemic of femicidal violence we have to contend with, more than they cared about sexual access to our bodies
I've been organizing our junk room & came across my tapes, records, & CDs, as well as a record player, stereo system, & two VHS recorders. A lot of money invested in it at time, but it was so satisfying to buy something, then OWN it. No company can take it away, and no Internet required.
That's a great point. Believe women. #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp
I really hope he starts filing lawsuits. If more people faced real consequences for what they do online, the world would be a better place.
Manchin gave the GOP a huge gift by abandoning his party, then his seat, so maybe this is his tip jar.
That interview was honestly the only time I've seen Trump have a hint of a normal human reaction to others' suffering. I didn't think he was capable, but there was a flicker of sincerity there. Not that anything will come from it.
A payoff for changing his party & vacating the seat?
I've been watching Colbert for many years now, but it wasn't until last week I realized how much he has been holding back. Good Lord! Yeah, he's not making it to May. Burning it down. God bless this man! #StephenColbert #StandingWithStephenColbert #FuckCBS #FuckParamount #FuckPSky
Regardless, NC is a tough nut. Cooper has the absolute best chance of any other eligible liberal. I am 100% certain of that.
"North Carolina Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Roy Cooper said that House Bill 2 was unconstitutional and that he would not defend it in court, but would defend state agencies against it." (In response to NC's bigoted transgender bathroom bill under Gov. McCroy)
I am so excited for my state and the country. If the election is fair, it's going to be a cakewalk for him. No way the GOP overcomes the name recognition and high regard NC folks hold for Roy Cooper. Seriously, thank God.
I admire your commitment to toast.
Capitalism really is a shit system.

It's telling that Barack Obama is the worst Boogeyman he can think of. He really thinks that offering up an educated, accomplished black man as sacrifice will be enough to satisfy MAGA. I think, this time, he might just be wrong.
JFC.
We can’t arrest our way out of homelessness.
I'm sad that, with so much going on in this administration, historians will probably never even mention that Trump spent two terms in office parading around in a version of blackface.
Because we didn’t adequately punish the Confederates, Jim Crow happened. Because we didn’t adequately punish Jim Crow, Jan 6 happened. Because we didn’t adequately punish Jan 6, the destruction of the Constitution happened. The only folks more dangerous to the rule of law than the white
I suppose Epstein meant Trump was crooked in dealings with him. Of course he knew Trump was corrupt in every way possible before that point. He just didn't care until it affect him.
Found this absolute gem. Word of the Day! (alt text has account name)
All the GOP does is cheat.
So, what is your proposal for breaking through? I think it needs to be getting the message out any and every way we can.
We really need these billboards in red areas.
Ah, yes, well, I was thinking of the base, and you are thinking admin. But not everyone has nerves of steel. Even they will have their breaking points, though they always have the option to just leave.
Don't be so sure. Trump deliberately recruited Qanon for his base. A core conspiracy theory of Qnuts is the Cabal, & how Trump would bring "The Storm," imprisoning 10K Dem & Hollywood actors trafficking children. They believed the E list would crack the Cabal wide open. It's a huge, HUGE betrayal.
things are going great on Larry Kudlow's show
I would not be at all surprised if it wasn't just child rape, but murder as well.
the thing you need to know about Obamagate 2.0 is that it's a pathetic and desperate attempt to distract from the fact that Trump is named in the Epstein files multiple times and probably for really bad stuff
It absolutely should happen way more. The things people endure because of these types of lies is inhuman. Our world is rapidly being taken over by the very worst of us, and folks need to fight back in every way possible.
Still can't believe that's a real picture of a United States president. Good Lord.
... anymore.
