Nevertheless, she persisted. Librarian, compulsive book buyer and reader, news junkie, social justice warrior. SciFi geek since 1970.

Literally everyone deserves to go out for dinner, buy coffees, wear quality clothing and have fun experiences whilst also being able to afford rent, groceries, bills & have a little left over for savings no matter what job they do. Why is that so absurd to some people?

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I think the Vice President of the United States should know that World War II ended with the unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan to the Allied forces.

Not joking when I say our goal, as writers, parents and educators, must be to produce more kids like this one. The future depends on it.

Biden at 80. Trump at 80.

One rode bikes, worked out daily, passed historic legislation, released yearly physicals, and answered endless questions about his age and health.

The other falls asleep in public, rambles through speeches, looks visibly swollen, and has reportedly taken multiple cognitive tests ordered by doctors.

Guess which one the media treated like a five-alarm health crisis. 🙄

Notice how almost EVERYTHING inside Obama’s Presidential Center bears someone ELSE’S name:

The Eleanor Roosevelt Garden
The Nancy Pelosi Pavilion
The Nelson Mandela Skyroom
The Ann Dunham Water Terrace

The list goes on…

REAL leaders don’t feel diminished by sharing the spotlight 💙

📸 President Biden just left Mass at St. Joseph on the Brandywine.

Whether he was President of the United States or fighting stage 4 cancer, Biden has always shown up for Mass because his faith is real and he actually lives it.

Meanwhile, “Christian conservatives” overwhelmingly backed a three-times-married adulterer who cheated on his pregnant wife with a porn star and was found liable for sexual abuse.

It was never about faith.

It was always about power.

Why do Republicans say AOC is “just a bartender” when she has a masters in economics, but they don’t say Markwayne Mullin is just a plumber?

HINT: racism and misogyny

A huge factor in the collapse of our collective mental health is the decline in reading for pleasure. Reading lessens loneliness, builds community, sharpens the intellect. It brings joy. You will be shocked at how much better you feel if you begin to read regularly.

Hitler killed himself and Germany surrendered. Japan got nuked. Do they teach history in Ohio?

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

libraries literally aren't just places to obtain books for free. they're some of the few public spaces left in our society where you're allowed to exist without the expectation of spending money.

people need to understand that using tax money to fund programmes that support the community is LITERALLY THE ENTIRE POINT OF HAVING A GOVERNMENT

Platner is not entitled to 100% Democratic support. Hillary didn't get 100% support when Dems went on TV all year to say they couldn't support her for "moral reasons".

Joe certainly didn't get 100% support from Democrats when Dems trashed him all day everyday and then brutally backstabbed him and removed him from the election.

Kamala didn't 100% Democratic support, we saw plenty of people cheering for her to lose.

That's the nature of politics. Every single Democrat is not going to support every Democrat. Platner is no different.

I’ve been informed by folks on this site that The Hobbit and now Jane Austen are too difficult for teens. I can’t stress enough how condescending this is to teenagers. You’re taking away all the things that might bring them joy and leaving them with no pastimes but scrolling.

The world treats female anger as a flaw and male anger as a personality trait.

Trump is literally trying to steal voter rolls by threatening to block the USPS from delivering mail in ballots in any state the doesn't hand them over to his fascist regime. I seriously loathe every person who voted for him or sat on their ass in 2024.

We’re going to see a lot more “everybody does it” talk when it comes to despicable behavior and remember: no, everybody does not

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Imagine calling Biden sleepy Joe For 4 years.

And then you elect a guy who falls asleep at a Knicks game, during meetings, in court.

MAGAs are parodies of themselves

[Tim @trouble_man90]

I remember during Biden, the press combed through hundreds of pages of White House visitor logs, found a guy that was a Parkinson’s specialist, then accused Biden of having Parkinson’s disease and hung it from the country.

Are they going to apply that same energy with these 22 mystery specialists??

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

This was always the grift.

The political media wanted Trump back because chaos pays.

Controversy. Access. TV hits. Book deals. Money.

Trump has been back 16 months and they are already cashing in, cranking out books, and padding their pockets off the disaster they helped create.

They did not defend America.

They monetized the collapse.

History should remember them as accomplices to the manslaughter of America.
