This makes me feel sick. How could we possibly have gotten to the point where our Supreme Court supports people having no food? I am just crushed and I have food. I can’t even imagine how this feels to the millions of Americans who work so hard for their families and then get slapped in the face.

Monday November 3 was national sandwich day. My friends, we have almost a year to make plans for this holiday in 2026. I think we should go big. #Sandwich #SandwichGuy

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Full moon through a clerestory window.

The moon through our clerestory window tonight. I often post pictures like this under “me and the moon”. It kind of looks like a blue wave, so I’ll call it “us and the moon” tonight.

😂 I’m going to keep an eye for the mediocre teacher month!

Nice work Governor on Newsom’s part. I can only imagine how time consuming and confusing the information that trickled in was for everyone involved in the decision. I’m glad he made a decision that kept Californians safe.

Understatement of the year award goes to my husband who said, “that’s peculiar”.

Local law enforcement in about 2700 large and small communities demonstrated their competence in protecting and serving the people of the United States as large crowds peacefully protested. I’m curious how anyone would believe that National Guard troops need to be sent anywhere. #NoKings

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.)

This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.

JB Pritzker Thinks Trump Has 'Mental Health Issues' — And That This Insider Is Making The Most Of It The governor of Illinois worried about the president's "diminished capacity" and how it might make it all too easy for insiders to co-opt his power.

Setting cynicism and religious hurt and harm aside, this moment seemed to me to have happened in a true collaboration of faith and hope for a better world.

That is disgusting

I lost my mom 2 years ago in September, on my birthday of all things. I hear you and am with you on how we still can be surprised, almost out of nowhere, with waves of grief. I am sorry that you are struggling.

I’m so sorry you are worried too. It is horrifying to know our Supreme Court ruled that it is legal to allow suspicion solely based on ethnicity and no due process. The violation of rights is cruel and immoral.

Brett Kavanaugh’s Racial Profiling Opinion Is Looking Sillier By the Day Kavanaugh said that immigration agents “promptly” release people after determining that they are legal U.S. residents. They don’t.

Kavanaugh said citizens who are Latino have “no good basis” to think they’ll be racially profiled & “certainly no good basis” to think an unlawful stop is “imminent"

Leo Venegas, a citizen who is Latino, was racially profiled & wrongfully detained 2x in 3 weeks

I worry about my sons every day. It is horrifying to know that they legally can be grabbed, beaten, thrown to the ground, and be detained as U.S. citizens. I can’t imagine the horror of parents whose children endure all that, and worse, and then deportation to prison in a place they’ve never been.

My first thought as well.

I believe we have zipped through the authoritarian stage and have arrived at the Mad King stage

AG Nessel wins case blocking DHS from withholding emergency funds Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has announced a legal win in a major lawsuit that challenged a Trump administration policy threatening to withhold billions in federal emergency funds from states...

This ruling makes clear that no administration can hold appropriated federal funds hostage to advance a political agenda.

Thank you AG Nessel! I am appreciative of all you are doing to advocate for Michiganders and the rest of the country benefits from rulings on your cases as well.

California, Oregon and Washington announced yesterday they’ve created their own health alliance, saying the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.”

New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have now done the same.

I hear you, my transition into part time pending retirement in 4 years is currently unsuccessful, though reduced pay has occurred. Nice benefit though if I quite immediately become a boundary queen.

It’s ok for two things to be true at once. Cats are lovable and cats are hypocrites.

I’m confused, are Epstein files a hoax right now…or in two weeks? #epsteinfiles

Ha! Just about to say the same thing.

Yum! I roast them, freeze them, and use them all winter. I love opening up a little package of sun and warm rain.
