Walking down my street this AM, I saw a young man holding a bulldog by a leash while the dog took an enormous shit. The young man left the turd and walked on. I picked up my pace and got in his face, wagging my finger and telling him he had to clean up after his dog. He gave me the “Gen Z Stare.” 1/

A Battle with My Blood
When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

Just to keep track: according to POTUS pardons, the following things are no longer illegal: 1. Insurrection 2. Money laundering 3. Attempting to overthrow federal elections. What else?

On completing today’s Wordle, my niece said, “I’ve never heard of that word.” Which means she doesn’t know the title of the first song in GUYS AND DOLLS, so therefore I have failed in my duty as her aunt.

I have seen it time & again in my working life. Someone promoted to a position beyond their capabilities focuses not on mastering the responsibilities of their current position, but on continuing to do what they think they did well in their last job. So: signage.

Dear Military, if Trump orders you to attack NYC tonite please don’t, LOL. Not sure what an all caps ‘and so it begins’ means but fellow Americans are not the enemy. Trump is a threat to democracy & you won’t be proud of the BS he is pulling in the end, nor will history be kind.

Keep calling out those who try to normalize the lawlessness of the Trump White House and the fealty of House Republicans.
@neguse.house.gov gives a lesson on how to reframe a journalist’s stupid question about #SNAP! 💪🏼

If you don’t understand the peril of a POTUS accepting private money to build a facility on government property, or to pay the military during a government shutdown, I really don’t know what to say to you, except maybe, “Take a civics class.” 🤷🏻♀️

I live an apt that never gets trick or treaters, but I still have a RULE that can be summarized as #everyonegetscandy. Kids too shy to say “Trick or Treat” get candy. Teens not wearing costumes get candy. Babies too young to chew also get candy (their moms can enjoy it). Don’t withhold candy! 🎃

Question:
If a POTUS was actually a Russian asset with the specific intent of destroying the military power, market strength, social unity, economic hegemony & global influence of the United States from within,
what would that person do DIFFERENTLY than what that asshole is doing right now?

I know we’re all worried about the government shutdown & rising cost of living & the military being deployed in our streets, but please notice the firing of the director of the Eisenhower Library. Commandeering our archival & cultural institutions is a major autocrat move and cannot be tolerated.

When we had to stop tapings on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ so Trump could have his Depends changed we called it a ‘shitdown’ perhaps we should do the same when he shuts down our government.

It’s midnight, which means Trump’s government just ran out of money.
Our entire government is shut down because Republicans in power refuse to lower health care costs.
