You are an asshole. If this is what you notice, you shouldn’t be in the same room as these students. Please consider a different profession.

Our No Kings Day t-shirts arrived today. Mississippi, where we live, is having multiple protests, but Steve and I will be in Philly PA for our grandson’s 18th Bday. The No Kings protest there is expecting over 100 K protesters. We will post photos. 🥰😄💙

I’m tired that even the “liberal” media says TS’s album content is a story they should keep reporting on—this and the Bad Bunny story. Tonight I’ve watched Main Stream Media “panels” grin and giggle “covering” both these stories tonight. It’s nauseating. Thank you, Ashton, and MFP, for your sanity.

We live in Mississippi and already have our shirts. But we will be in Philadelphia, PA for our grandson’s 18th birthday. Therefore, we will be in downtown Philly, protesting, with our daughter and family. 💙🥰

The Moon rose about 18.00 BST today.

The full Moon rising through the Belt of Venus which is an atmospheric phenomenon that appears as a pinkish or brownish glow in the sky right after sunset or just before sunrise. The glow is visible above the dark blue band of Earth's shadow, which rises on the horizon opposite the sun. The phenomenon is also known as the anti-twilight arch.

Jake Tapper is slithering on the floor of the (figurative) national news room. He is frantically moving toward a corner. But he can’t escape the stomp of the boot he’s been licking.

Imagine being in a room with people who don't believe you deserve the same fundamental rights the have and being like, "But that's ok, we agree with lower taxes for the rich!"

Let’s roll. The American public wants this transparency—and to know who among the rich power set endangers women and girls. This is a matter of public safety and urgent.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Netflix is now streaming the film 'Idiocracy', which is about a future where America has been dumbed down so much that the elected US President is a complete idiot and has no idea what he's doing.
