Actual comment on my TikTok about taking my son to see Nuremberg. We’re so cooked, friends. 😬
An alt right supremacist comment on a TikTok about taking a 12 year old boy to see the movie Nuremberg. “One of the hills I will most definitely die on is that we fought on the wrong side during the 2nd world war.” Insignia of the alt right. Eagle with SPQR inside, misused from roman times by idiots.

Full page ad in my hometown of Fremont, Ohio (pop: 58k) today. “On October 18th, we will peacefully protest our FALSE KING.”

#NoKings is going to be massive.

@vadogwoodnews.bsky.social had a great first event this evening! Any excuse to talk about abortion rights and match my shoes to my lipstick is a win for me!
Three women pose for a picture in front of a table with a skirt on a stage. Behind them a sign reads “northern Virginia community college.” The woman in the middle has bright pink lipstick that match bright pink shoes.

How it started 9 years ago and how it’s going. Happy gotcha day, Ruth Bader Ginsburg Pickett I. (She’s never let anyone hold her like this since.)

There are no words. We have lost our humanity. My god.
A photo of the entrance to Auschwitz concentration camp is set atop a quote from Kilmar Abgrego Garcias account of his time at CECOT concentration camp in El Salvador. There, the quote “welcome to CECOT. Whoever enters here doesn’t leave,” is highlighted out of the full court document of Abrego Garcias claim.

And toddlers have pretty impeccable insight about others, so if they don’t like you, you are probably a *very* bad boy.

This morning, sweet Maisey Mae crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈 she spent her early years in Virginia and her elder years in Ohio in the lap of luxury. 14 amazing years 💔 we will miss you, old girl.

Some people say we look similar. Maybe a little. Bragging on how ridiculously gorgeous my baby sister looked on her wedding day!
Three women pose with a bride in the middle. The older sister has brown hair and a flower patterned dress. The bride has a crown of stars and moon and a white tulle gown and a large bouquet of flowers that are pink, white and green. The mother of the 2 girls stands on the right in a champagne color chiffon dress with sequins top. They’re standing in front of a garden with trees and grass.

There is just something special and perfect about sisters. Our baby sister got married yesterday and it was beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
2 middle aged sisters pose on either side of their youngest sister at her wedding. The bride has moon and stars headbands, strapless corset with flowers and white sunglasses. All are smiling.

I have always tried to hang flowers on these hooks on my porch, but the birds always destroy them! So this year I put up some moss bird bungalows for them. I like these more anyway!
A yellow house with a brick porch and 2 red chairs on either side. 2 moss bird houses hang on hooks from the porch ceiling. There is also a small white railing and a brick walkway. A bird bungalow made of moss hanging on the porch with a red chairs behind it and a smaller pothos plant on the table.

I’ve never been more proud of my children than when they glanced at Fox News on the television at this restaurant just now and declared, “OH WOW THE ANNOUNCER FROM THE HUNGER GAMES IS REAL!”

It was Jesse Waters.

Eric Holder is giving some hard truths on Maddow right now. “The time is now to stand up and fight.” Warning us to fight authoritarianism.

100 people marched in Fremont, OH today, birthplace of President Rutherford B. Hayes, 19th President, who also ended reconstruction.

To my knowledge, there has *never* been ANYTHING like this other than prayer vigil. Make no mistake. This matters. #HandsOff
