BREAKING: HAHAHAHA

Seems like kind-of-a-lot has happened.

Sheesh...

I felt so awful that I avoided ANYTHING that would make me feel worse - including news - for the 2.5 wks I was down.

I mean... DAMN.

It's 2025.

I am (finally) recovering from my first ever confirmed bout of COVID.

Just... wow.

Education Department to probe New York for trying to pull school mascot of Native American The mascot, an illustration of man wearing a feathered headdress, has been used for decades.

Apparently, something can only be racist if it's directed at straight white men.

2-year-old U.S. citizen apparently deported 'with no meaningful process,' judge says The child's mother was being deported and wanted to take the girl, U.S. lawyers said. When the judge asked to speak to her, they were already in the air.

"Let's start with deporting a minor U.S. citizen. Once we get people to accept that, we can get them to accept deporting OTHER U.S. citizens."

A legal way to get rid of all brown and black people, no matter their status.

Emanuel Cleaver is an incredible asset to #KansasCity, MO.

He has been a staunch supporter of ALL its citizens since his days as a city council member, then as mayor, and now as a congressional representative.

He makes me proud of my hometown, even if I can't bring myself to move back.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos Says Movie Theater Model Is ‘Outdated’: ‘Most of the Country’ Cannot ‘Walk to a Multiplex’ At the Time100 Summit, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said the movie theater model is 'outdated' because audiences want to watch films at home.

I no longer have Netflix, but CEO Sarandos is right.

Expensive tickets & snacks.
Uncomfortable seats.
Disease outbreaks.
Long lines for nasty bathrooms.
Crowded armrests.
Mass shootings.

I'm #streaming in MY home with MY bathroom, couch, popcorn, & ability to pause.

Hegseth orders makeup studio installed at Pentagon Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has not given any press briefings in the briefing room but has used the room as a backdrop for TV hits with Fox News.

"We are warfighters who are only interested in warfighting and WARS...

and a good foundation, maybe a little eyeliner, and - of course - a pop of color on the cheeks."

American Dems (and many Republicans I know): we told you Hegseth was just another unqualified clown.

MAGA:

Trump may soon offer a motherhood medal, an idea popularized in Nazi Germany He wants to be known as the 'fertilization president.'

Trump admin: What could raise birth rates?

Us: universal healthcare, universal childcare, living wages, & paid maternity leave.

TA: IDK what we can do...

Us: UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, UNIVERSAL CHILDCARE, LIVING WAGES, & PAID MATERNITY LEAVE!

TA: how about baby bonuses & a medal?

A bunch of celebrities took a space trip to show the rest of women what's possible -
If you have money/connections.

"Wendy's" mocks them (AWESOME social media team😂😂😂).

Meanwhile, the GOP is trying to make it harder for married women to vote.

But... yay! 10min space trip for the privileged few!

US army and air force libraries ordered to comb stacks for books related to DEI Move comes in preparation for removal of materials that promote DEI, gender ideology and critical race theory

books.

Ok.

I have a few subscriptions I think are important.

When I evaluate my bills at the end of the month, I should be able to add more. Yours is at the top of the list.

Thanks for what you do, Mr. Hasan!

I have a friend who isn't much into political causes and loves Target.

When she & I went out shopping two weeks ago for Ninja blenders, I steered us towards Costco.

She doesn't have a membership, so I loaned her mine.

She has a Ninja AND a membership now.

We had a cruise planned this summer.
We canceled our cruise to USVI, PR, Bahamas, and Turks & Caicos (except PR, all places I've never visited) due to uncertainty over my husband's job (retired vet who works for DOD).

He still has a job, but I am suddenly super grateful we canceled.

Wow...

"Putting Mainers first."

Unless you're a Mainer who changed their name after marriage.

Then, I'll take your right to vote unless you can pay for a passport.

It's only fair... it's mostly women, and I'm the worst kind of misogynist:

I spout feminism but still vote against equal protection.

Huge Changes To Student Loan Repayment Plans Are Coming, And Borrowers Could Pay A Steep Price If enacted, these reforms could cut off access to affordable payments, eliminate student loan forgiveness, and trap people in a lifetime of debt, warn advocates.

As we've been telling MAGA:

They HATE working class.

Dear God, do they hate the working class...

Not just the lack of gun safety,but why do all #Republican women get the same plastic surgery?

15days.

I had an Ambien slip-up...

Another reason we need new leadership.

Blind trust in deceitful, amoral human beings to hold up their end of the bargain is not the character trait we should back...

Huh... maybe Rep. Bacon should listen to those of us who warned him before the vote.

We had FORESIGHT, since we've seen a Trump sh!tshow before...

G*d-fvcking-dammit, you spineless little sh!ts.

Fvck this. You KNOW there is no way this was right.

The federal government is claiming they have the authority to send people to horrific indefinite detainment, but they don't have the authority to END that detainment?!!

This SHOULD be a uniting moment in the country.

We do NOT send people into an irrevocable black hole of imprisonment.

Opinion | Why Judge Boasberg’s Deportation Order Is Legally Invalid He failed to impose a bond on plaintiffs as the law requires. Other injunctions have the same deficiency.

Daniel Huff (and the rest of the GOP):

If you want relief in court, you have to put up money.

Can't have those POORS getting injunctions against unconstitutional actions.
