Here for reading and writing, pissed off about repro rights & climate deniers. Happy to help find/start/run a book club. Definitely not anti-interrobang.

Are there really still people out there who think book clubs are boring? They are clearly just NOT paying attention. 🔥🔥📚💜

@GovPritzker @likaluca Somehow the "Don't Mess With Texas" people are all in for their national guard to be ordered around by a President to fight imaginary battles on his behalf. You'd think they'd call that out and demand their national guard be at home where they belong. All hat no cattle, I guess.

The No Kings march is being branded by Republican officials as a 'hate rally' by 'terrorism wing' of the Democratic Party.

@RepJeffJackson, you said you had a message this morning if anyone was listening.

I was getting my free breakfast at a hotel that was broadcasting the House floor. I heard you.

Thanks for your comments, and for your fight. Well done.

I remember a woman who survived being mauled by a bear (it RIPPED HER FACE OFF) did an ama about her experience and said the worst part of the whole thing, attack, rescue, recovery, years of healing, many surgeries, was dealing with the health insurance company

[The Book Club Lady @TheBookClubLady]

Let's stop calling it health insurance.

Let's call it health inurement.

It means benefit. Nonprofit private inurement is leaders benefiting contrary to charitable purpose. Let's adapt it to for-profit healthcare gate keepers taking unconscionable levels of profit.

It fits.

@GBOFARMS1 @LqLana @DJWinklerForPA4 Now you're concerned??

@DJWinklerForPA4 @LqLana Your fixation on her is unhealthy. You should talk to somebody about that.

@drodvik52 @ewarren As always, she is the adult in the room.

God help her as that room has become an insane asylum with no rules and the bullies put in charge.

So, you want me to believe that you voted for a racist, rapist, convicted felon, business fraud who incited a deadly attack on our Capitol after losing the last election because of the price of eggs?
That you voted for the orange-dipped dude who ran with a different VP because the last one was nearly hanged for not breaking democracy, because you’ve been getting fewer hours at your job these days?
You want me to believe that you voted for someone who nearly every economist in the world has said will grow our debt (which he did by the third largest amount ever the last time), increase our costs, raise inflation and destroy our GDP because a burger and fries at Five Guys is more expensive than it used to be?
You want me to believe that you voted for the drink bleach guy who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day because you had it so much better then, when you were stockpiling toilet paper, than you do now?
You want me to believe that you voted for the guy who had 4 years to pass an infrastructure bill and didn’t, the guy who promised Mexico would pay for the wall when they didn’t, the guy who promised to bring manufacturing back, lower the cost of prescription drugs and end the opioid crisis but didn’t, because you preferred his “policies”?
You want me to believe you voted for the “grab em by the pussy” guy who wants to destroy the Department of Education and to repeal the ACA despite the fact that he has nothing more than “concepts of a plan” to replace it, the guy who will roll back environmental protections, strip women and minorities of more rights, the guy who will hand Ukraine to Putin and Gaza to Netanyahu, the guy who has said he will be a “dictator on day one”, because you’re worried about losing your gas stove?
I’m sorry, but I don’t believe any of that, and frankly, I’m not sure you believe it either.
Because the truth is that your vote wasn’t about any of that.
You voted for the traitorous embodiment of the 7 deadly sins because when it came to casting your ballot for a Black woman, you just couldn’t do it.
And because you like getting away with being your worst self.
And because life is a whole lot easier to stomach when all that has gone wrong for you, is someone else’s fault.

Let’s be honest here, that is what it was.

So when the price of eggs is $18, and your Latino neighbors have been deported or moved to some f’d up “camp” to pick the strawberries none of you will pick, and your miscarrying wife has to contend with sepsis before she’s allowed to have an abortion, and your autistic child is unable to get the early intervention they desperately need, please remember what it really was that you voted for.

Because I promise you the rest of us will never, ever forget.

[The Book Club Lady @TheBookClubLady]

The abject AUDACITY of running an ad accusing VP Harris of making the US unsafe through immigration policy after Trump tanked a bipartisan agreement on it, and then using the Statue of Liberty as a patriotic image at the end!?

And yet people will believe it. 😡

[The Book Club Lady @TheBookClubLady]

When someone hands you your own ass served up on a platter, you don't go head to head with them again.

Turns out 45 and I agree on something after all!

We must protect the separation of church and state.

People should be free to make conscience-driven decisions about their bodies, health, and lives without government interference.

@Catholic4Choice Justice Alito sounded like he was talking about repairs a used car needs and whether those repairs are really needed. This is women's lives and he obviously couldn't care less.

[The Book Club Lady @TheBookClubLady]

Justice Alito talking about women's lives sounds like he's talking about what repairs a used car might need and if they're actually needed.

[The Book Club Lady @TheBookClubLady]

@saribotton Congratulations!! What does celebration of that look like?

[The Book Club Lady @TheBookClubLady]

@unifilvet @Osborne__Cox I'm with until the last word. He wanted to appoint himself ruler despite having lost the election. He used his unqualified children in his administration. He wanted military parades. He tried to undermine Congress.

He was after a monarchy, not anarchy. He wanted to be a king.
