And I’ll speak for myself but as a Black Woman- this is why I don’t wanna fuck with y’all any more…
You want all the experienced people to go and die in a field somewhere after a certain age-but y’all don’t even know how shit works.
Y’all don’t READ shit nor know how shit WORKS.

If all you're doing is bashing Democrats, I'm just going to unfollow you, because you're not a serious person, and you're not helping, and you're just mindlessly parroting tired Anti-Dem stereotypes and propaganda.
Focus your venting and ire on the GOP where it belongs. THEY did all this. Not Dems.

Maybe we shouldn't feel good about our pathological unwillingness to think as a collective. 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe we should actively feel bad about that.

I’ve got a *bit* of a sensory overload going on after all the birthday festivities, so I wanted to thank everyone for all the love and birthday wishes right here.
You guys are the best! 😘

TL Cleanse and Mommy Update:
Bee is ONE-YEAR-OLD today!!!! She walks, she talks, she feeds herself (dry) Cheerios, she signs when she wants more food, she loooooves books, she’s a peekaboo champion, and she’s brought an endless supply of joy to her family.

It can’t be easy to watch someone you love go off the deep end. Thanks for making the hard choice.
I definitely struggle with this. We are avoiding them for thanksgiving. My father is 84 and won’t be around much longer. He has been a good father most of my life. Once he retired, he just watches Fox and went off the rails. 🤷♂️

It’s up to the whites.
And it’s getting worse w whites who did vote for Harris but don’t want to deal w their own families who didn’t or their own refusal to shun them. I’ve blocked a dozen old blue voter acquaintances and colleagues today on Instagram bc they’re full-fledged Dem bashers now.

Bloop.
I refuse to believe this many of you have never met racist white people to such an extent that you think their suffering matters to them if it means they can still see people who don’t look like them suffer as much or more. Spanberger & Sherrill got those big margins & still didn’t get 50% of them.

A Holiday Word.
I assume the folks on this site won't be breaking bread with Republican relatives this upcoming holiday season, or ever....right? 🤨

The holiday season is upon us.
White friends: What will you do come Thanksgiving?
Will you have a “civil” dinner with family members who support the most evil president since Andrew Jackson?
Or will you inform them in advance why those days are long gone?
It’s up to the whites.

Like, some of y’all are being straight evil. My uncle’s church is literally doing collections right now to get people food and diapers through the shutdown.
There is a human cost to indifference.
If you *actually* want to fight and win, then give Dems BOTH houses come midterms.

A Word.
Its a certain demographic who needed to be "motivated off their couches" to vote. Who "need fighters." Or need "excitement"/ someone they can "share a beer with." Politics is not your personal soap opera or wrestling match. And your lack of political enthusiasm without a side show causes real harm!

Are you going to pay the bills of federal workers? Are you going to buy food for federal workers and their families? Exactly.

Many of the same white voters who are screaming at Chuck Schumer and angry at the 8 Senators that voted to end the shutdown, are STILL going to have Thanksgiving and Christmas with their MAGA family members.

Why does the thing Americans voted for keep happening? Why won’t somebody just stop the thing that the majority of the people who participated in a representational democracy voted for? How could we possibly have stopped this thing in a country where an absurd number of people just aren’t voting?

Time for some highlights from Bee’s first birthday! 🥳
My mom was pretty damn proud of her decorations—she hung a giant “One Silly Goose” banner and tied giant ribbons on ALL the kitchen chairs.

Its like we had a presidential election nine years ago where we warned people what would happen if Trump got a chance to pick at least two Supreme Court justices if he won and, instead of listening, people accused us of trying to bully them into voting for Hillary.
