I’m sorry, if you claim to be religious in any sense, there has to be a line in the sand.

Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

If you are autistic or have a child who is … I urge you to ABSOLUTELY UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES put yourself or them on this “registry.”

This is called the “yellow brick road to eugenics.”

The cast of The White Lotus has better security protocols than the U.S. Dept. of Defense.

Martin Richard would be 20 if he hadn’t been murdered during the Boston Marathon bombing 12 years ago today.

He’d probably be at college, maybe he’d be in love for the first time, perhaps he would’ve cured cancer someday. He had his entire future taken from him that day.

The contrast is… quite striking, isn’t it?

Dammit, Florida. You had ONE JOB. And it was to not elect the Republicans today. 😡🤦🏼‍♀️

My little cousin — and 17-year-old girl,—is here visiting to look at UT. We went to dinner. She’s here with her mom, my 1st cousin, and my aunt.

Last night, my 1st cousin was Leslie Bibb. I was Carrie Coon AND Michelle Monaghan. 😒

My aunt and I were uh… both a little shocked.

Ut oh @bsky.app! Anyone else getting this error?

I didn’t go to bed yet.

They are literally just trying to kill us all at this point.

Gretchen Weiners approves.

I’ll likely be bringing it to the rescue where I got Poppy in Seminole. We love to donate to them for all the good work they do, and because they brought this sassy, sweet girl to me.

Wtaf dystopian BS is this?

ID for tampons?!? Who is directing these companies to do this? What are we missing.

And CVS needs to explain itself.

A loving message from The White House this #ValentinesDay.

Anyone else as horrified as I am? I literally can’t even.

Thank you for sharing your Mabel with us, Mark! I have a Poppy. She’s the goodest girl 💕

A quick timeline cleanse: Poppy went to a new groomer this morning 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

Anyone know how someone this f*cking dumb got elected A SECOND TIME?!?

Meanwhile, his cult members will eat this up and believe everything he says.
February 8, 2025 at 12:29 AM
Ummmm what???

Are they TRYING to get people killed?!

Meanwhile, on Threads…. Agencies are being ordered to *BURN* books

This is apparently a list of #democrats who keep voting to confirm these cabinet picks. What happened to stonewalling them?

What happened to uniting against this BS? Lots of recognizable names on here. @amyklobuchar.com @adamschiff.com @ossoff.bsky.social

If your senator is here, call them NOW!

I have found it very difficult to focus this week, but today this arrived. As FOTUS and fElon try to dismantle our #democracy, I wanted to make sure I have the receipts of our founding fathers and those who came after and made #America a better place.

We’re all gonna die.

What the fuckity fuck is this timeline, folks? I am sick of this shit.

@mcuban.bsky.social can you replicate the CDC site on cost plus using the CDC archives?

Or can anyone?

This is insanity. #cdc #healthinformation

This shit is getting old, fast.

Where are the balls on these media conglomerates to stand up to a fascist who is trying to silence journalists and free speech?

@60minutes.bsky.social is the oldest, most respected news magazine in the country. Bowing down is going to kill credibility and reputation

One of these is not like the others…

Had a chance to see Mamma Mia! on tour tonight in Tampa.

In the shitstorm that we’re living through right now, I cannot stress enough the importance of going out and doing things that make you forget about it for a few hours so you can recharge your batteries.

It was SO good! #mammamia
