There is nothing grosser than a T-rump voter—nothing.
I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I’m going back and forth on whether President Donald Trump gave Bill Clinton a hummer. He could have domed him off, it could be a load of BS. Whether Trump gave smoked Slick Willie’s willie is not something I think we can ever know. We will be left to guess whether or not he slobbed on his knob.
Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

"Citizens are constantly told the system is corrupt, the media are dishonest, and elections are rigged, which leads them to doubt every institution and ultimately themselves."

Nut milk has a very long shelf life.
He is ultra focused on securing a financial legacy for his family. He isn't buying green bananas. As long as he keeps voting with the party 85%-90% of the time I will not make him my focus. He has the shelf life of milk.

Republicans refused to even show up to work for 51 days and are now trying to pass a bill that will kick millions of Americans off of health care.

It’s shameful, and I’m a HELL NO.

Aurora over Mount Wilson!
The North Tower Cam caught a rare glimpse of the northern lights around 8:45 PM on Nov 11 — caused by a strong geomagnetic storm from a recent solar flare.

Tonight's launch event at Women & Children First was delightful. I am so grateful to my fellow contributors and besties @mayaschenwar.bsky.social and @tanuja.bsky.social for joining me in conversation. It was a packed house. Btw, I signed all copies of Read This and LTRY at this bookstore. ❤️

I am reading this book now. It is an essential but difficult read. I had to take two breaks so far and read other books because this one is so heartbreaking.

Deja vu! Exactly 26 hours after Active Region 4274 produced an X1.7 flare, it generated an X1.2 flare (R3-Strong on the NOAA Scales) at 10/0919 UTC. As Region 4274 continues to maintain a complex magnetic structure, additional flares are possible for the next 24-48 hours. www.swpc.noaa.gov
