Well, I am an artist, dog-lover, and avid reader. I also adore cats. I am a feminist. I'm a wee bit cranky as befits my time in life. Definitely not into living under a dictatorship. Pronouns: she/her.

They had to buy the Post, gut the newsroom, and restaff with reactionary grifters that don't deserve to carry their predecessors' dirty socks; that was the only way to remake the paper, because they were never gonna get through the front door on merit.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Loyalty to DJT matters.
That is all.
Republicans ARE in disarray.
It's because Americans are realizing Republicans chose to shut down the government rather than work with Democrats to stop your health care premiums from doubling.
Chaos, higher prices, and shutdownsβthat's the Republican agenda.
