Just thinking of all those folks this fall who complained they couldn't afford groceries and that was the reason "we needed a change". Have fun.
Nothing matters. No matter what leaks. If an admin member killed a baby they would say “that baby was crying too loud and it needed to be handled, it was a very bad baby and it is the fault of the media for reporting it. Also, Pro life”

How fun to get back to back emails from the NYT giving me a heads up the Department Of Education is dismantled followed by "Where To Eat, Are You Not Entertained?". America in 2025
Idaho & this current administration is so pro life they actually are cool with having women die. It's never been about the babies. apnews.com/article/abor...

One thing I've learned from Threads, if you say anything about Meghan Markle that isn't complete flattery the trolls will come after you. And the meanest comments come from bots or maybe people who have bios that say I love Jesus.
I watched the Meghan Markle Netflix show and how is she always cooking in white? The best part of the first episode is the bee guy. She is sooo stiff. Also it’s not good but better than even one minute of SOTU.
The best part of WhiteLotus this week was the Texas church convo on girls week. So real, so relatable.
Sorry about the measles outbreak, bird flu, massive job losses, stock market plunge, climate disasters, where people lost their homes - let's focus on those who most of these people will never encounter & are not infiltrating sports. Great job America.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 2y ago1. Happening now, the United States Senate is considering S9, a bill that would ban transgender people from playing sports of their gender identity from chess to darts and everything in between. It could result in genital exams and more. I'm covering live. Watch: www.senate.gov/legislative/...
Where do I get paid for the town hall meetings? I want to know where the money is coming from so I can sign up.
Job losses in rural Georgia and not feeding the hungry on Christian missions is all good bc Gov Kemp says this is “rightsizing” www.ajc.com/news/georgia...
USAID cancels large contracts of Georgia peanut butter supplier
Mana, which produces peanut-butter based food pouches in Georgia, said USAID had terminated $12 million of its contracts to feed malnourished children in Africa.

You had the choice of a woman who literally campaigned on reproductive rights but you went for a lying criminal instead. I feel sorry for Ryleigh but also, really?!??! Fafo deluxe.
Mallory McMorrow@mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social · 2y agoRyleigh, a US Forest Service worker in rural Michigan, voted for Donald Trump because he promised to make IVF free and she and her husband wanted to start their family after trying and trying. Then she was fired by Elon Musk, DOGE, and Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
The new season of White Lotus is great, impending doom in paradise. I’m so in.
The SNL marathon of content is exactly what I needed. Laughter & music is healing. Especially the radio city concert - absolutely incredible

Mitch McConnell could have done the right thing in 2020. Boo hoo dude. We are here because of you. Own it.
I thought I was going to break up with Love Is Blind on Netflix. Last season was so bad. But then I saw the new trailer and they got much hotter people, so I think I may be in? They really need a 40+ divorce version of this show.
Alright I gotta get more active here. Been trying to tune out of news for mental sanity. Posting on Threads is a troll breeding ground but also I don’t want to lose my edge ;) We are living in very dumb times.

Oh man Threads really is the new twitter. Tons of fake AI celebrity news. It's almost as if the trolls are just testing the platform to see what they can get away with. Pretty crazy.
It feels very on brand for 2025 that lunar new year is the year of the snake.
Here’s the thing about the artists who played inauguration or align with the current admin. Stop being wishy washy.Just own it. You made a choice & it’s all good. And fans, you don’t have to continue with the canceling. Just do your thing where you want it. This is not hard.
Instead of trying to follow it all, text a friend, take a walk, read a good book, sing your favorite song, hug a dog, eat a cookie. We will get through this.
