I definitely maintained a "sophisticated database" of summer daycamps for many years.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

My 2 year old: Knock knock!

Me: Who's there?

2yo: Orange!

Me: Orange who?

2yo: Are you so glad to see me?

Me: ... Yes. Yes I am!

This 🧵 is legit hilarious. But seriously, the original Little Blue Truck is a great story and a lovely poem. Best read in your best deep-drawl Sam Elliott voice.

More effective using a microplane. Better distribution.

Doesn't matter, he'll play with whatever he can reach off the kitchen counter anyway.

Can we start calling it #SCROTUS?

Given flan and creme brulee are on your list, I would assume panna cotta also makes it.

I think carrot cake would fall under the orange category.

Here in the States #babybel are also usually wrapped in a layer of plastic film. Recently the new bags have them wrapped in paper!! I hope they continue that!
I hear your cost/size concern for adults, but they are the perfect snack to hand a fussy two year old.

Hah! Same!

Every accusation is a confession.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social : So if the National Sozialistische party became shortened to "Nazi", does the Democratic Socialist party become "Desi"? Let's go Mamdani!!

Every accusation is a confession. One way or another. We have to start thinking about everything they say as a lie that actually points back to them. Everything.

Montgomery Burns?

I just learned they can't be recalled, either?!? Why not? I'm adding that to my "rewrite the Constitution after this is all over" list.

It's like some dark fairy tale: "Uh oh, he said that? How is that going to turn out to be true all along?"

I keep repeating the "every accusation is a confession" mantra to remind myself that every Trump lie is actually tied to a reality in some twisted way. Remember when he said people were afraid to walk the streets of the cities?...

This is the paradox, man! We cancelled our Disney+ subscription before we had a chance to watch it!

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Wait, they're not doubling down on every single unpopular policy/order/action because they already have 2026 rigged and know that any elections will be in their favor... right?

Can this be my 🚫👑 sign?

A two year old with curly hair wearing a Captain America costume, complete with helmet. She is picking her nose.

Here's a picture of my 2-year-old in her Halloween costume for levity.

He said my wife should go back to where she came from... or wherever her ancestors came from (my wife is not white) then got in his car and drove off. I guess I knew it would happen eventually... 🧵

An American flag hanging upside down in front of a house.

Had our first run in after hanging our flag in distress mode for about a week now. He stopped his car, got out. Asked my wife to speak to"the man of the house", then instructed me to stop disrespecting "his" flag. I reminded him that it was my flag, too, and that our democracy was under attack. 🧵

I wrote this out and it went well past the Bluesky character limit. So: I'll never understand how essentially all elected Republicans stand by when dire attacks on American principles come daily. Why is there never a new morning for Conservative principles? I will never understand
