Every once in awhile, I break out in a cold sweat, my heart starts pounding, and I say to myself “My God, we have 5 cats!”

And this is why it’s so important to tell the stories. Not just about abortion, but about everything.They might not get it in the moment, but it may start them on the path to understanding.

It’s not a complicated thought. No one deserves to be viewed as collateral damage because of how their neighbors voted. And that’s the way a lot of people sitting comfortably in their blue states see those of us red ones.
It’s alienating, especially in times like this, when they most need support.

Please stop saying “This is not America.”
This has always been America; now it’s just happening at a pace you can’t ignore.
Anyway, Happy 4th. Go blow stuff up.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

It's kind of nice seeing Tucker Carlson using his douchebaggery for good for a change!

"They got what they voted for" is just as useless a thing to say in a time of disaster/crisis as "Thoughts and prayers."
Knock that shit off.

I don't care if it's just performative, but it sucks to notice that not a single pro sports team I follow could be bothered to do a "Happy Pride" type of social media posting four days into June.

So much better! No anxiety and no impulse buys.

When Caturday meets Hell Is Real! #crew96

Defense attorneys are a necessary and important part of the justice system. But I don't know how the ones in the Hockey Canada rape trial can sleep at night.

To be fair, I wouldn't wish this on a cornfield, either.

I’m just trying to imagine having two Democratic senators!

This tells me that he doesn’t know what due process is to begin with and has no business serving in Congress.

My 85 year old mostly conservative neighbor just came over to give me some vegetables and bitch about Trump. Im so proud of her!

Hey!

People don't get this. Or they do and they don't care. I'm in Ohio and my family will suffer just as much as the ones that voted for Trump. Blue dots in red states are no more than collateral damage to a lot on the outside. It's a pretty alienating feeling.

I’m not a cat, but how is sitting like this comfortable?

And Ohio isn’t the only place with idiots. As an Ohioan, we definitely make it easy to dump on us, but rural Ohio is no different than rural areas in even the bluest states. The difference is we don’t have a state government that will provide any safety nets. And that is terrifying.

I'm beginning to think it was never really about her emails...

*They’re* evil?
Pot/kettle, asshole.

I think it’s past time to replace the “Star-Spangled Banner” with the theme from the Benny Hill show. This country is a joke.

So we all just have to sit back and hope we can survive the next two years? Sounds like a great plan!

Look at the positive-80% of them survived! I mean, who knows what will happen to them the next time they contact an entirely preventable disease, but for now, they're not dead!

So they want to protect kids from porn, but not from employers who want to roll back our child labor laws?

I feel like the Susan Collins of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Frequently very disappointed in their actions, but I still show up, ready to be disappointed once more, yet I’m somehow still surprised when it happens.

On the bright side, fearfully checking the internet every 20 minutes to see if the Steelers signed Aaron Rodger’s is taking some time away from fearfully checking the internet to see what horrific damage Trump and Musk are inflicting. So, uh, thanks?

As someone who doesn't have a Democratic senator, I am BEGGING you to keep it up.

This isn't exactly what I meant by "Please, God, anyone but Aaron Rodgers," but so be it.
