Since I'm new here, this is what you need to know about me:
I'm fiercely liberal and hate everything right now.
I write Hallmark-style paranormal romance. Small town, magic, feel-good romances
If you have a dog, I want to see their picture. It is always a good time to tag me in puppy pictures.

Why are we making Monica Lewinsky jokes in the year of 2025? I don't care if the felon blew the entire white house. I do care about all the underage girls he abused.

Two men doing a sex act isn't illegal. Having sex with a 15 year old is. See the difference?

Come on.

Food prices up
Homeowners Insurance up
Car insurance up
Health insurance skyrocketing
Tariffs on everything

When does it end? When do people wake up and realize this is untenable?

No wonder my blood pressure is always too high.

If you are not furious at what our government did to these people, there’s something wrong with you.

There is no gratification in being “right” about this all along when so much senseless pain and suffering is being inflicted on human beings around the world.

"Is this what 2008 felt like?"

No. 2008 was a crescendo of years of sub-prime mortgages laundered through faked bond ratings and derivatives trading by an army of savy, greedy people hiding what they'd done.

This is one rapist felon who's killing the world in full view of everyone for fun.

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won.

This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

Here's a big F U to all the liberals I know who just couldn't vote for Kamala because Gaza.

Your non vote is what got us here. I hope you choke on your idealism.

Very proud to know the longest someone has held the Senate floor in US history is in defense of the Constitution, not segregation. ❤️

The leadership vacuum is vast and @corybooker.com's joining only a few others in filling it -- fighting back however you can (and ginning up attention accordingly) is popular & the more Democratic members of Congress learn that, the better we'll all be.

Tout this widely. The biggest danger right now is, as @dandrezner.bsky.social said yesterday, pluralistic ignorance, when “people who hold a majority opinion are unaware that it is a majority opinion”. We need to broadcast all the signs that the town halls etc are not a fluke.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

I am so sick of people trying to justify book pirating by LibGen because they need it to get through college. Every fiction author I know has had their work pirated by LibGen.

I keep wondering where the likes of George Clooney & other elites are on this fall of democracy? They had no problem putting out articles with their opinions on Joe Biden and how he wasn't fit to be president. Why aren't they publishing their thoughts on the current administration? Hello? Bueller?

Gotta say, I'm really tired of reading hot takes about what Americans don't understand at this point in our demise of democracy. I see that everywhere from everyone who isn't living in this hellscape right now.

In my circle, we ALL understand and are horrified.

F@ck Southwest. They already aren’t cheaper than the other airlines. Now they want to charge for baggage? The only reason I use them now is for direct flights that aren’t available on other airlines.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says he's lifting tariffs on most goods from Mexico for 4 weeks amid economic fears from trade war.

Everything... it's a lot right now. Being the breadwinner and the financial planner right now is making my stomach ache all the time. I don't want to look at the news, and yet, I can't help myself as input in one of my top 5 strengths. Right now, it's definitely a weakness.
