I’m making homemade tomato sauce for the first time with tomatoes *from our garden*. My apartment smells like bruschetta and it’s just incredible. I’m so excited for dinner.
Cat mom, wife, cartoon fan, video game enthusiast, musician, culinary professional, and just a touch psychotic. Big fan of respect for other people.

TIL Gavin Newsom is a leftie. I knew I liked him.

If any of y’all haven’t seen Gavin Newsom’s tweets trolling Trump, you need to check them out. It’s the funniest shit I’ve seen in weeks.

I just want to shout out and express my gratitude for everything you are doing for the people of America. I don’t live in CT anymore, but you make me proud to be from there. Thank you.

Only 3 House Republicans are needed to sink Trump’s Big Stupid Bill, according to this article by the Wall Street Journal. Three House Republicans have an opportunity to actually do something good for their constituents. Don’t fuck it up. #RemoveReverseReclaim apple.news/ARqp66nSIQC6...

Screw ABC. Terry is an American hero. A reputable network would be happy to have him board.

I donated money to the Harris campaign, and I don’t regret it. However, I’m still getting emails looking for donations. If the DNC wants to raise money, they should start selling “Obama 2028” hats, because fuck the Constitution, amirite?

I love that you knit; I think it’s fantastic. Even better is knitting for your puppy. 🥰

Someone needs to remind Governor Hot Wheels that he’s a DEI hire and wheelchair ramps are “woke”.

Russia currently occupies 20% of Ukraine. That’s more than a “thin sliver”. Russia can achieve peace anytime it wants by leaving Ukrainian land. Since they won’t, there will only be victory for Ukraine if they can sufficiently fight back. SLAVA Ukraini 🇺🇦

You can always trust DuoLingo to teach you the important phrases. (It’s Ukrainian, not Russian. If you want Russian, go talk to Agent Krasnov).

I’ve been on the fence for a while, but it’s time. The time has long come. I have chosen to commit, and will do my part to encourage others to do the same.

If Russia really wants peace, they can stop the war anytime by leaving Ukrainian land.

Trump loves the poorly educated. He said so himself.

I love this idea. I have cats, though, so it will have to be an electric candle.

Jasmine Crockett’s comment on Greg Abbott had nothing to do with the fact he is in a wheelchair and everything to do with the fact that he is an asshole. I personally will be referring to him as “Governor Hot Wheels” going forward.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you were on, the fact is: this is gross negligent mishandling of classified information. I don’t want to hear ONE g’dmnd thing about Hillary’s emails. archive.is/JEYep

It’s just your biggest rally *so far*. There will be more, and they will get bigger. Thank you to you, and to Bernie. I’m so excited to see that turnout. Thank you for continuing to give us hope.

Good on France from learning from their country’s history. Now if the USA could get on board, we would have some real progress.

Let’s be honest here: Tesla’s have been known to catch fire on their own. There’s a good chance this wasn’t arson, just ironic timing.

I just heard the news. I’m so sorry. The American people won’t forget who folded, and who stood up for us. The road ahead will be rough, but it’s not over yet. Thank you for all you’ve done, and all you will continue to do.

H.R. 1968 CANNOT pass. Say NO to the bill and NO to clouture. SENATORS WORK FOR US. Your constituents DO NOT want this. Get it together and grow a g’damn backbone. Stay on the right side of history. Voting yes on this will be the end of your legacy.

Damnit Tim, just when I think i couldn’t love and respect you more, you surprise me—in the best way. I’m not from Minnesota, but you make me proud nonetheless. Thank you for continuing to be a beacon of hope for America.

Finding joy amidst the oppression is a form of resistance. Get out there and laugh, and love, and sing, and dance.

The way I see it, it’s like helping the schoolkid fight the bully, but first we negotiate half of his lunch money. We should help Ukraine because it’s good for Ukraine now and good for us later. It’s an investment. We do the right thing now, and it will come back tenfold.

You know how you can tell Zelenskyy isn't a dictator? The President doesn't like him.
