We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Trump and Vance are part of the tiny percentage of Americans who sympathize more with Russia (4%) than Ukraine (62%) and who view Putin more favorably (75% unfavorable) than Zelensky (28% unfavorable) today.yougov.com/politics/art...

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.

Let that sink in.

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

We care about small businesses because we are a small business. If you're not spending today, show up for your indie bookshop in other ways—such as following them on social media, leaving a positive review online, signing up for a newsletter, etc. Support doesn't always require budget 💕

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.

Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous.

Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

That asshole in the White House will NEVER speak for me.

Smash that 💙 if you stand with President Zelensky.

Every decent American should be embarrassed and ashamed today.

I’m so glad I decided to take today off Meta platforms. From what little I’ve seen of the behavior of 47 and hillbilly in waiting, I’m physically ill.

This is my current audiobook…perfect if you need some reassurance that there are at least a few people in Washington who are admirable. I’m only about halfway through, but I’m pretty sure it will be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩

Thanks for stopping by 💃

I tried to read the “new” (i.e. unfinished, post posthumously) Zora Neale Hurston book and DNF’d it. Not because it was “bad,” but because it felt like a rough draft. I can’t believe that ZNH would attach her name to that in the state it was in. 💙📚

Todays rich irony: Harris didn’t invite JD Vance to the naval observatory. So MAGA is furious.

Oh by the way in 2020 Trump didn’t even do a Transition

The hypocracy is a feature

I've been enjoying all the commentary about the funeral drama, but there is one thing that drives me crazy: Why do people think there is something up with Doug sitting to the left of Kamala? It's almost like they don't recognize that it could be the woman who is the dignitary.

The next 4 years will be horrific for immigrants.

Please follow the steps below if you are an immigrant or send it to any immigrant you know. I’m afraid anyone who just looks like an immigrant will be caught up in this process.

RT to share far and wide, please!

Thanks to someone parking just centimeters away from me, I just successfully got into the driver’s seat of my car from the passenger side. This may be *THE* accomplishment for me of 2025.
