"We'd be the safest country in the world if the world knew we didn't have a gun. Men are not killed because they get mad at each other. They're killed because one has a gun." -- Jeannette Rankin, who died #OTD 1973

Happy Birthday Phoebe Atwood Taylor, 1909, Boston. She is best known for her Asey Mayo books - the "Codfish Sherlock" who investigated crime on Cape Cod. The books are funny, well plotted, and offer a look at a slice of American life at a particular time and place.
When I look back at this time in my life, I will probably be ready to admit that this might not have been the best climate to start my airport workforce readiness technical training consulting LLC. Ah well, you live and learn.
Finnegan is my interpersonal bubble violating dream boat who looks at me like we are in a dreamy Hollywood movie love scene every single day! My husband manages an 1/8th of Finn’s fawning adoration, if that. We do not deserve dogs. My eldest granddaughter thinks Finnegan is her sibling, not a pet
One day you'll find someone that's obsessed with you. It's probably a dog, but it is what it is.
You can’t budget you way out of things costing too much. You deserve to eat good healthy foods. To keep your home at a comfortable temperature. To drive to visit loved ones. You’re not asking for too much.
Any President that sues his own government, while in office, should immediately be impeached
I miss having a President of the United States.
My little sister invented the funnest game ever created!!! Golf Match!!!!!
when you start creating something for other people to enjoy (game, animation, app, website, etc) You learn how impossible it is to please everyone. (You can't) And it's up to you to weigh the priorities. But also; have a vision. People showed up for YOUR thing!
So incredibly corrupt. A slush fund for his friends who attacked the Capitol, ogles, etc. - and himself. www.kwqc.com/2026/05/18/t...
The absolute only MAGA with any balls are the women. Sick of Trump and in general white dudes faking it
Friends, a madman is in charge of the country — but almost no Republican member of Congress, no major CEO or university president or head of a major foundation seems willing to sound the alarm. These people are all cowards. Where are America's leaders? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC0vKzRmPos

Putin is a Nazi war monger and promoter of battlefield rape.
Waste, fraud, and abuse, the Trump family delivered on all three with this stellar product
MAGA men are pro-rape and anti-consent. Epstein files are a GOP jolly jape. Fuck the party that continues to hunt and hurt children www.reddit.com/r/awfulevery...

He is under water and the American public is under his kneeling weight, submerged and begging for air and sunlight. President Trump has proven once and for all time that WHITE MEN ARE NOT SUPERIOR IN ANY MANNER. Worth it, if MAGA misogyny takes a National kick to the dick forever.

Trumps IRS lawsuit and subsequent deal to fund his thugs is another diversion from the Epstein files!! Anything to make noise and drown out the victims voices in the media!
We demand that the survivors of Epstein receive reparations for the crimes committed against them! Do your job!
The Epstein files changed me forever. I read them in painstaking detail over months, realizing in real time that we are not ruled by laws equally applied. We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks. America is a syndicate. I’ll never get over it, so don’t ask me to.
Remember: If your county votes tomorrow it is ILLEGAL for cops to stop you coming and going to polls to vote. Also, your employer must give you four 4 hours to vote while the polls are open if you are scheduled. So you must get off early in most cases. It is the law.
