Wife. Mama. Grandma. Retired. I love to read, but I think the internet broke my brain. We have a family policy that “boring is good”. We do not want the drama and chaos. My heart is for the homeless mamas and babies. Why can’t we just do the right thing?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

“Mild criticism of Democrats”

“Don’t criticize them now before the election, we need unity”

Democrats lose because of the thing you criticized them that needed fixing

“Democrats lost because you criticized them and didn’t vote hard enough”

“Can I criticize now? Election is over”

“No!! Too soon”

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

Best Intentions
During my first Christmas season as a single mother, in 1994, I frequently visited an antique shop in Chardon, Ohio during my rounds as a reporter for The Plain Dealer.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

It's 2025, and we're sharing bootleg 60 Minutes segments broadcast in other countries because our own country is being run by fascists and their billionaire-owned state media helpers, just as the Founding Fathers intended, of course.

Donald Trump is not fighting the deep state. He is the deep state. He is not exposing the cabal. He is the cabal. He is the propaganda, the cover-up, the shield. And he has never stopped lying about it. He is not releasing the Epstein Files because he is implicated in them.

The only reason people are still pushing for an Epstein list is because they don’t believe women in the first place.

There’s literally no reason for any of this shit.

Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) calls out executives at CBS News and parent company Paramount Skydance (where Larry Ellison’s son is board chair). 60 Minutes story was spiked to appease the Mad King at the expense of shareholders.

The corruption is absolutely staggering. One big money donor after another receiving direct benefits in return. Trump didn’t drain any swamps, he created a giant sewer to roll around in daily. Great reporting. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Leaders of the Democratic Party rarely talk about how corrupt the media is. That needs to change (mostly by changing who the leaders of the party are).

New York Times headline:

"Vance Refuses to Take Sides in G.O.P. Fight Over Bigotry"

Its patently absurd.

Vance spread lies about Haitians eating dogs.

He called Minneapolis "Mogadishu" because there are Somali immigrants there.

We already know what side Vance is on. He sides with the bigots.

Take a step back and think about where we are, as a society, when someone can argue (plausibility, if not convincingly) that a president’s threat to invade and conquer his neighbors is a “distraction” from him being a pedophile.

This statement is a sick joke. US foreign policy is a sick joke, being implemented by enemies of truth, freedom & democracy - people driven by personal greed & the opportunity to exploit the suffering of others by trading US power and prestige for death & business opportunities.

You've never had to apologize for being white in America, but of course, that's not really what Vance is trying to tell his rabid followers. What he's really trying to tell them is that they don't need to apologize for believing they should have it easier because they're white.
