The states forming their own health alliances is not secession—it is self-defense. When the CDC is captured by ideology and stripped of credibility, the republic fractures. Science is not negotiable, and public health cannot survive propaganda. #ScienceOverLies #DefendPublicHealth
That anyone would argue with such a basic statement blows my mind but there are literally countless MAGAs who will insist to their dying breath that you - and I - are in the wrong.
That really caught me off guard this morning...moved me to tears and that is not an easy thing to do.
My late husband did similar things. He made me a far better person than I ever would have been without him and anything hopeful I do now is in his memory. The truly good people always seem to be taken far too soon. Sending a hug to you!
Me too. I think seeing that brought tears and a little hope to several of us today...almost as valuable as those groceries.

I agree with Rand Paul. Gonna go look out the window to see if the grass is suddenly purple and my car has turned into a giant wombat.

Everyone is focusing on the AI kangaroo. No mention of the cat cooperating in all this being a DEAD GIVEAWAY on it being AI? You have met cats, right???
I see what you did there...
6 months is standard for the average VP whom most people can't even name while they are in office. Kampala Harris is not even remotely the average VP. There are credible threats made against her every day. Trump put a bounty on her head by removing protection.
I read "Fire on the Plains" after the Waco/Ruby Ridge/Federal Building/Olympic Park events and got some real perspective. I made the "mistake" in law school of saying that the sole focus on Islamic terror post-911 was giving them time to grow. I got really badly slammed. I HATE that I was right..
Beautiful - thank you for sharing!!!
The vast majority of mass shootings are carried out by white males who can't get laid. Perhaps if the people in their life did some early intervention - force them off the computer, into the shower, and teach them to interact with people - they would function in society and not kill people!
The original "bitch better have my money!"
God shops on Amazon. Open question as to whether he springs for a Prime membership...
Yes. Yes, they are.
The paw folded over the nose gets me every time! 🫠
I understand we also have you to thank for ending the "Nutella on everything" trend and making it possible to once again find pumps without a 2 inch platform.
"You don't need doctors. I have some sun-dried road kill marinated in essential oils that will fix you right up, Donald!"
Magic beans! 🫠
Now that one could come in handy! I should probably hide a couple pairs of shoes and a handbag though if I have him around. "Marsha...Ralph...I would recognize you anywhere! We looked for you for months..."
Thank you for the new nightmare material. 😱🤣
Which would utterly ludicrous because there are 2 versions - the first being the one that Otto Frank authorized to be released with the (admittedly tame) serial exploration and much of the conflict with her mother redacted. Most of us unknowingly read that original first.
Marjorie Taylor Greene and Kash Patel
Not enough lube in the world. There isn't one hot enough for me to overlook the fact that he voted for Trump.
Rabbi - "These are the worst crackers I've ever had!" Priest - checks box. "You just ate 2 handfuls of Jesus!" Pastor - "You didn't happen to have some really bad wine with it, did you?"
Someone should have a word with him... Maybe Elvis?
I had the same thought - I am going to be in one hell of a "mood" if I can't get my vax update! And exactly what is "physical inactivity?" I am chained to my computer and phone for crazy long periods of time when work goes nuts. My only exercise is screaming at the wall. Does that count???
Permitting ICE to make courthouse arrests denies the right of persons on American soil to petition the court for justice. It also makes them fearful to answer a lawful summons to the court - triggering a second charge of Failure to Appear - out of worry on the unrelated ICE issue. Not due process!
Gosh, next thing you know they will have a problem with us "recklessly relying" on the IRS approving our yearly tax filing and receipt of a driver's license for identification. Guess we should know better than to expect this new form of government to stand behind their assertions.
It is impossible! Even with 2 people it is horrible. I think we rented it at the Lowe's or Home Depot...after having done 2 rooms the hard way! 🤣
Plans are already in the works. I have a collection of vintage Dr. Martens boots - mostly prints - that I will never stop wearing and you will pry my skinny jeans from my cold dead body. No kids and love my work so no change there. Will be free to swear more as an old lady so that will be fun!
Been there... We ended up renting a drywall press that holds the sheet horizontally and cranks upwards to the ceiling so that you can screw it onto the studs. It was awesome! I ended up getting pretty decent with the mudding but we had to do a ton of sanding in those first few rooms. LOL
Applause!!! I learned drywall by trial and a LOT of error after buying a big old house with my late husband in the 90's and fixing it up ourselves. Ceilings are hard! If it stays up where it belongs and doesn't clobber anyone, consider it a success!!!!!
Steve is losing his marbles
How much do I love these women and their podcast??? "Tinkles McTACO-tits"...perfect!!!! I pride myself on being able to turn an amusing phrase with profanity-laced aplomb but they leave my amateur ass in the dust...
I know that I should stop but NOT checking the news to see the latest bit of fuckery makes me MORE anxious. At this point, it is just a matter of degree...
My timid shelter dog is officially named Ellen Ripley but I just call her Ripley. When I say that I wanted to give her a strong female name, maybe 1 person in 5 gets it. I either need a time machine or new friends...
Yea! We take the "finally got around to doing this for myself" victories when and where we can find them. 😁
Well, it WAS such a burden to choose who would govern our own country...
We mat be long-lost siblings...LOL
Well, they could do so quite handily if they actually READ a few...
Yup - it has been too long. West Wing needs another watch too.
Indeed! Of course, there is a difference between wanting to and just doing it. I believe that would called MAGA versus Non-MAGA. We Non-MAGA ask nicely and there is almost always dinner involved first. Perhaps flowers, dancing...then #TrouserTrout. We do have standards...
My first thought was "unfucking believable!" But it was immediately followed by "Yeah...that tracks..." 🤔😡
Step back - this has extra mayo, I swear!
I love a nice rye pun...
Take a bow, new Poet Laureate of Bluesky!!!!
You forgot the "smile and be pretty" above all else part.
No - not from what I have seen and heard. Makes you want to just sit down to cry for our future but I can't see them waking up to how badly they have been used and then facing ostracism from the only friends/family they have left.
I had literally never heard of this. My phone rings constantly with unfamiliar numbers as clients give my number to friends and family who then call me for assistance. They would be very confused if they got silence on the phone when they called me!
The absolute best!
Lawful but awful...
What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'
Had a bad Friday the 13th for the first time in recent memory (historically it is a GREAT day for me!) so hoping that the "stored up" good luck will spill over into No Kings Day. Everyone please stay safe!!!!!
The true meaning of MAGA:
Should we send him flowers? Or maybe just a simple arrangement of french fries in a tasteful bucket?
This could make for unusual future Thanksgivings but at least it will be pretty clear who will be saying grace before the meal.
Let's get #WokePope trending. It will infuriate all the right people.
I wonder if she will dress the part by donning one of those snazzy plague doctor outfits? There is nothing like a mask with a beak to let people know that you are a fully qualified medical professional.
At least on Bluesky - as opposed to Truthsocial - people will get that reference! 😂
I like to ask who they use for their secondary insurance. When I get the blank look and follow with "Oh, so you pay the Medi-Gap yourself?" and get another blank look, I thoroughly enjoy informing them that their parents DO have Medicaid because SOMEONE is paying that percentage if they are not!
What a beautiful girl! And to have such a loving father...we should all be so fortunate!!!
That was done several years ago as fan art. Seriously. Melania was washing his feet and I am pretty sure Nancy Pelosi had a spear seemingly jabbing his side. You can probably Google it if you want to see. I would post it but I just can't...
It seems that Cherry Hill Orchards was the site of a campaign visit by Tim Walz in September 2024. Several of the articles are behind paywalls but you can read a few for free on Google. Perhaps he is one of the few farmers who did not contribute to this mess? I would like to hear it from him.
I'm Agnostic and I find it offensive. You don't have to be religious yourself to respect the religious faith of other people.
I'll just run down to the local gas station with a copy of that post. I'm sure they will reduce their price immediately and thank me profusely for informing them of their mistake!
Pennsylvania farmers put food on our tables every single day — and they know how harmful tariffs and higher costs are. Don't take it from me — listen to Corey and what they're dealing with at Cherry Hill Orchards in Lancaster.
If Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no end to the expansion of Russia.
Nothing says "small dick energy" quite like a grown man wanting to engage in military cosplay...
Dude, that red color was blood you pulled in after you found the vein! Dumbass...
After school and starting my own business - if you have time to read then you have time to study/work!!! - it is really hard to relax enough to read for pleasure again. I still feel guilty and it has been years!
"I know it - can't remember - just check Google..." NO. I could actually feel it eliminating my ability to recall facts! Now I just sit with the discomfort of not being able to remember something. Never fails that sometime around 3am the answer will hit me. Human intelligence for the win!!!
I have the T-shirt in grey. Just goes to show that Dems are the best dressed women. Cool T-shirts >stupid red hats!
Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.
BREAKING: Montana reports its first cases of measles since 1990 as the MAGA disease outbreak spreads like wildfire — and health Secretary RFK Jr. remains distracted by autism conspiracy theories. This administration is failing the American people on every front...
It can be true that both tariffs are bad and denying due process is also bad
Who could’ve foreseen that it would be a disaster to put an unqualified Fox weekend host with a drinking problem and sordid personal history in charge of the military
Love this. I have enjoyed my wins but it was the losses along the way that got me those wins. There is no substitute for learning how to take a deep breath and try again even when you REALLY don't want to do it.
That would be unkind to the pearls though...which really can be quite lovely when when worn without the accompanying puckered asshole of disapproval for all things non-MAGA.
One day someone is potentially going to explain to me why they give so much of a damn what other people do when it literally has NO effect on them. None. But to date, that explanation has not happened...
Ray Bradbury would like to join the conversation...
People keep telling me that world politics are too complicated but it is quite simple. In any relationship, it takes a long time to build trust and mere seconds to destroy it. What Trump has done to world economics is what I see in my office every day when someone has trashed the family finances.
To be fair, potatoes grow eyes if you leave them alone for long enough...
Apparently, in Trump's America, horrible behavior is overlooked so long as the hair looks good and the lip gloss is fresh. You know...priorities...

OPINION by Nicholas Grossman: Nicholas notes how the world is already moving on from Trump’s America. “Trust between countries is valuable. It takes a while to earn and little to destroy, and it is hard to win back.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Donald Trump accusing someone of grand standing because irony is completely dead
Mine too! I get snarky looks if I don't leave enough at the bottom of the container...
Good to know! I vote with my walket and eat yogurt several times a week. Your brand will be in my cart on my next shop.
38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...
So much for "respect for marriage and children" from this administration. I wonder if Pam is going to find a "worthy" replacement for this woman and her child? Is a conservative white guy named Chad going to show up at her door saying that he has been assigned as the new "man of the house?"
