My mother had congestive heart failure. Some of the symptoms: Swollen legs/ankles, shortness of breath, weird gray pallor.
The only reason Trumplestiltskin isn't obviously gray is because he puts 10 pounds of orange spackle on his face before he goes out in public.
I love #Maine. It's my soul home. I was born there, raised there, and spent the first four decades of my life there. This is not meant to be a slur against Mainers, but to be a reality check that not everyone in Maine lives in a quaint coastal town in an overpriced home.
Yes! People are proud of cruelty and pettiness in a way they've never been before. And people who call themselves Christians are saying empathy is a sin.
We're in a horrible bizarre world, and I hate it!
We will persevere.
My internet rabbit hole led me to just what I needed today. Thanks, Joan Baez and Janis Ian, for recharging my hope batteries.
Jesus Christ! What sort of Machiavellian, sadistic bullshit is this?
Women really do have fewer rights than a corpse!
“If you're in trouble or hurt or need–go to poor people. They're the only ones that'll help–the only ones.” ~ John Steinbeck, "The Grapes of Wrath"
Lock your door, lock it tight
It's the new immoral right ...
Conservatives: BAN ABORSHUNZ STATES RIGHTS ARGLEBARGLE RABBLE RABBLE BOW WOW WOW!
Also conservatives: Who cares about states' rights? We're talking letting billionaires get even richer here!
Trump thinks we're all so goddamn stupid that we'll take a one-time payment of $1k (for illegal immigrants) or $5k (to have children) instead of providing the actual long-term support needed by either of these populations. Fuckers.
I hope Greyhound also has this information available in Spanish, Creole, and the other top five or 10 languages spoken in the U.S.
We didn't have phys ed until junior high school. Our daily exercise in elementary school was ... RECESS!
Maybe schools should bring back recess instead.
Ah, Governor LePlague, on the campaign trail again ...
The Seattle PD is at it again. This poor woman was terrorized by the cops because they had the wrong address.
If she were Black, she'd be dead right now. #acab

Would you watch a YouTube commentary channel where I dissected manipulative speeches, talks, ads, and other things and explained how this person is using manipulative tactics?
I lament about lack of critical thinking and would like to be part of the solution.
One of the most "fun" things about being a family on food stamps back in the day when it came in the form of coupons that looked like Monopoly money was the cashier giving you that "you're nothing but dog shit" look as you pay for your groceries.
"Rampant welfare fraud?"
You must think the government is as stupid as you are in order to believe the government does nothing to investigate and prosecute fraud.
You must think poor people are as unethical and criminally minded as you are if you think there's widespread fraud in this system.
The world hates Donold and Elon. Imagine being so despicable you piss off an entire planet. That used to only happen on Star Trek.
Guillotines are brewing.
Guillotines are inevitable.
Want me to tell you the story about how a Jehovah's Witness tried to indoctrinate me into their joyless doomsday cult, at age 11, without my mother's knowledge or consent?
Oh, FedEx, you slay me.
I'm so delighted that I had to make a 1-hour round trip and pay $8 in tolls to pick up my package, which your delivery driver made three half-assed attempts to deliver (for values of "attempt" that include "leaving a tag with no identifying info").
Hmm, I can't possibly imagine why DOGE would be decimating the government agency charged with cybersecurity.
Oh wait, maybe it's the same reason Elon's neckbeard brigade has been downloading every piece of data about every American since about January 21 at 12:01 a.m.
It's not right vs left, it's top vs bottom....and anyone who makes less than 200k a year is a member of the proletariat in 21st century America.
They. Give. Zero. Fucks. About. You. Let go of your delusion!
The release of two years of anxiety about whether I'll be able to stay housed is, ironically, exhausting.
It's like I've been running on adrenaline and cortisol for so long that their absence has forced me to experience all the exhaustion I've been avoiding for years.
I read the original books. Looking back, they were a nonstop parade of misogyny, chauvinism, racial stereotypes, and totally unnecessary violence.
It's not surprising the movies are awful, given their source material.
Good thing we don't have to worry about people dying of the measles anymore!
Oh, wait...
An image of Maine Governor Janet Mills looking sidewise at an inset photo of Donald Trump. She's wearing a smirk and he's yelling. Text over the image reads "Governor Mills has had enough of your shit."
So proud of my home state and its leadership. Thank you, Governor Mills. for letting Sub-President Trump know that he's FA'd, and now he's gonna FO. #Dirigo #Maine #GovernorMills #FAFO #SeeYouInCourt
