We are not the same. I worry about the people I love who are not white. I worry about the people I love who are LGBTQ/Trans. I worry about the people I love who need social benefits and healthcare. You actively work against those people and support people who wish them harm or worse, wish them dead. I worry about your side, too. I worry about your child or your spouse or your sibling in the military. You support people who call them suckers and losers and who consistently, reliably, every fucking time vote down taking care of them. You support people who bring up the troops for 29 days instead of 30 so they don't get their benefits. We are not the same. I worry about our police forces. You blithely post your Back the Blue bullshit while supporting people who literally let insurrectionists go free after mayhem and murder at our nation's capital. I can't believe you anymore when you post your thin blue line memes. We are not the same. I worry about your disabled child. I worry about your child with mental health issues. I worry about your child with special needs. I worry about the fact that the people you support LITERALLY WISH YOUR OWN CHILD DID NOT EXIST because they are a drain on the system. They are less-than. But you support those folks who cut mental health resources. You support people who want your child on the spectrum to be sent to a fucking work camp and have all of their meds and supports yanked away. You support people who cut the Medicaid benefits that keep your child alive. We are not the same. I worry about your child and mine, every fucking day, hoping they don't get shot up at school. You make a martyr out of someone who thought his own horrific death was worth the price of having guns everywhere. I don't want to take away your guns. I just want some actual rules and regulations that work. We are not the same. I worry about your daughters and I thank the universe every day I don't have one. I worry for their safety and their sanity. You vote i…

RFK issues a report on children’s health and never makes a reference to the number one cause of children’s death -gun violence. That kind of ideological willful blindness is what results in such carnage.

As a governor who cares about the well-being of my people, I can’t live in a fantasy land where I pretend Trump is not tearing this country apart for personal greed and power.

“denied statistical reality” is a really strange way of spelling FUCKING LIED, @nytimes.com 🤨
Major US newspaper turned bootlicking bullshit tag says: “Mr. Trump denied statistical reality last week when he was asked whether he might send federal forces into high-crime cities in Republican-led states. "Sure," he said, "but there aren't that many."

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first?

(Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
Post from President Trump on Truth Social: Six people were killed, and 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, and JB Pritzker, the weak and pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn’t need help in preventing crime. He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA. President DJT

This is no joke. Summer of 2023 I honestly thought I was having a mental breakdown. I'm fortunate to have a great doctor who sent me to a neurologist to make sure everything was good (I'm missing a spot in my brain, though! Also no joke!!).

K-17 has friends over for his bday. My house smells like pizza, bbq chips, and Axe body spray.
It’s also beyond adorable to hear these half-tryin-to-be-grown voices coming in saying “hello Mrs. Kenny, you have a lovely home” 🤣🤣

Whenever the “read this/don’t read that” discussion pops up, I like to remind people that the only thing they should read is whatever they like and the only books they should skip are those they don’t like. Read and let read.

So one of the best things about conference time is I get to spend 4 days with lovely friends calling me Queen, Queenie, Queen Rebecca (it's been a running joke for the past 25 years LOL) but, um, HELL00000... AND YET AGAIN THIS MORNING, NO ONE WAS STANDING NEXT TO MY BED SAYING: "YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS, HERE IS YOUR MIMOSA"

Leaving an outdoor concert in the 90s (Violent Femmes and B52s), spotted David Byrne a row over and stupidly yelled out “Hey, that’s David Byrne” and he gave me the NASTIEST LOOK as people turned around and started to swarm him. Ooops.
