We cannot allow complacency to rule the day in the mid-terms. There are NOT good people on both sides. This is not GOP vs Dem. This is our Constitution vs a despot. We must mobilize everyone to vote. Red, blue, purple, green, whatever, idc. Not voting is a vote for authoritarianism. 2/2.

Now that the truth is coming to light about pro-admin social media accounts being run by foreign interests, (like we didn’t know) we must remember a critical aspect of the 2024 elections: even without any voting shenanigans, almost 1/3 of eligible voters didn’t vote because “both parties suck.” 1/2

Violence should never be tolerated, nor threats. You can’t pick & choose a moral ground: it’s wrong when it’s against someone you agree with & when it’s someone you don’t. That’s America, folks- we debate with words & ideas & (god forbid) pineapple on our pizza. But never the blood of our own. 2/2

The same people who (rightfully) decried Kirk’s assassination sure seem quiet right now. I am a loud-mouthed, vulgar-languaged, quick to Irish-up defender of this country. BUT- our “fight”, should there be one, should only ever escalate to verbal sparring. 1/2

Dear Josh Allen: We all love that big, scrappy, country boy mentality. But 2025 has sucked a lot this year, dude. Please stop acting like you asked Santa for an injury. The Bills, & you, are all that’s helping drag some of us thru a poop-tsunami of a year. Be good, do good, go Bills, & be SAFE. 💙❤️🙏🏻

If you haven’t had a chance yet, take some time to watch “The American Revolution” on pbs.org. Always a favorite topic of mine (I grew up near many battle sites & god bless my teachers who dragged a load of shitty kids to them so we’d learn important history) but my god, what a timely presentation.

USDA reports SNAP recipients all need to reapply. At the holidays. When offices have been decimated by staffing cuts. When housing aid is being cut & people are facing homelessness as we skid into winter. They scrubbed the rolls: they never had any intention of paying anyone. All to protect pedos. 🤬

Just a reminder: today is Day 5 of a sitting American president allowing Americans to go hungry. On purpose.

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Bucks County ousts ALL Republicans from the Central Bucks and Pennridge school boards after both school boards were ground zero for anti-trans policies in 2021.

To all the people that tell you “the Democrats are holding the government hostage”: remind them that Trump has been ORDERED by the courts to pay just HALF of November’s food stamps- and intends to violate that order. An American President. Letting Americans starve. The Dems didn’t do that. HE IS.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.

He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

Things were tough after Dad died when I was a kid. I remember Mom paying for groceries with food stamps- the old, paper-in-a-coupon-book style food stamps. (IYKYK lol). I was so embarrassed. Now I’m more ashamed of how my behavior must have hurt my Mom, who was just doing her best. 1/2

I just donated $$ to our local food banks in my mom’s honor. People in your town & your neighborhood (Idc if you live in the hood or a Country Club) will go hungry this month thx to people who don’t think it affects them. FYI- Be careful what side you stand on. There’s no Thanksgiving in Hell. 2/2.
