Please repeat over and over:

β€œBending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

In 2018, my 28 year old daughter made the heart wrenching decision of having her newly turned 5 year old son's (my grandson's) brain donated to science for cancer research; so that one day, other children might live.

...while this horrifying dictator sadistically mocks us all.

PLEASE STOP HIM!

Jewish Grandma wondering where's the outrage for the cold-blooded murder of a baby and his toddler brother in Gaza? Trick Q: They were Jews. Taken hostage by Palestinian civilians, Ariel and Kfir Bibas were MURDERED by strangulation, their bodies mutilated with rocks. Anyone care to weigh in? No?

Our president, in addition to being an unhinged lunatic, cannot spell. Think that over, America. Or maybe, that's what MAGA "loves" about him. It makes him so "real."

My son who lives in Munich informed me that this kind of speech is illegal in Germany. And let's not get into Nazi salutes. I asked my son to make sure that this walking bowl of yellow Jello be promptly arrested.

It is enlightening/horrifying being on social media these days because you encounter the most damaged and stupid people. I cannot believe (in the literal sense...like are these real or made-up posts???) that people are this damaged or stupid. Or resentful. But here we are.

I totally agree. Feel it deeply. This is bullshit. Not everyone in America is suicidal. This is beyond right or left. This is simply the school bus being hijacked by the insane clown.

I'd like to take a moment to wish every fuck-head who voted for Trump the worst 4 years of their lives.

Another week, another four innocent Israeli hostages -- ALL YOUNG WOMEN -- have been released from their captivity in Gaza. I like @bsky.app but am wondering: IS THERE ANYONE ON THIS PLATFORM WHO CARES? All of you hitting the LIKE button on pictures of corgis...care to care about human beings?

The idiocy on display right now in the name of some moronic half-cooked allegiance is staggering. The canceling of Jews and Jewish culture is just so dumb. It’s a lot of other things also but the first sign of a society decline is anti-Semitism.

Haven't seen much here about the release of the 3 Israeli hostages today from their captivity in Gaza. I watched the news live from Israel, afraid to hope. I have rarely been so moved. I stand with these brave young women, with my people and with all peace-bringers. images.app.goo.gl/z2SXe7KBSJzm...

Was looking for some updates on the NOLA terrorism sitch in a hurry and man, but X is a hell-hole of the stupidest/sickest/ugliest/conspiracy-ist/depressing-ist scribblings of all time. Got frustrated instantly but worry about those w/zero discernment who are inhaling these toxic fumes...

This is neither funny, clever, ironic or counter-cultural. Imagine how the kids of the murdered guy feel about seeing these pics. For just one moment, imagine being them and realizing that STRANGERS ARE HAVING FUN dressing up as the guy who killed their dad. Is ANYONE capable of imagining that?
