Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

A number of years ago I was asked if I wanted to be part of the NYC Columbus Day parade, and I said sure, as long as they were okay with me noting that Columbus was a genocidal fuckface to anyone who asked. It was then decided I should not be part of the parade.

He just keeps lying and people keep letting him. There are almost no consequences for white men who do what they want when they want. How do we set boundaries in this world?

I know I’m old. But when there is no iced coffee or tea in the machine, if you have the hot beverage and ice, the situation is quickly remedied.

I just took my winter boots out of my car so if there’s a blizzard in Buffalo tomorrow it’s my fault.

Even if we never meet...I already know this about you (even if you don't):

You didn’t survive birth...heartbreak...and BS up until now... just to watch freedom get torched.

You were born for this moment. Don't let your eyes close tonight...without recognizing that.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.

It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

Yeah, the group votes on the long one and I think Dash randomizes the shorter option :)

Hey people who write prompts for pharmacy cashiers, PLEASE add a pop up to ask if other people in the household also have scripts to pick up. People in my house seem incapable of having this thought on their own and now I’m at the store one hour after someone went for their meds.

The builders behind Alligator Alcatraz and other detention sites are top DeSantis donors.

They scored no-bid or “emergency” contracts worth tens of millions—while funneling cash into his political machine.

The best part of yesterday was hugging the kids I could. Not all of my family comes together in July. But boy, I needed those hugs this week.

Virtual hugs to anyone who needs one.

Sleep?

An issue I don’t believe has been addressed regarding the deep cuts to SNAP, is how many grocery stores in low income areas will go out of business. Mom and pop, family owned markets. For many, almost all of their customers are on food assistance. The Krogers will just close their doors and move on.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

Glad all is well

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Bandits trophy on Bisons jumbotron

Feed cleanse. Buffalo is celebrating the Bandits tonight at the Bisons game. And the weather feels chilly :) Just perfect.

The Senate parliamentarian is already under fire, for doing her job. After fairly ruling that most of the “big 💩 bill” doesn’t qualify for budget reconciliation, MAGA world is already calling for her to be fired.
