I just saw a TikTok of a sulfur-crested cockatoo, and I'm feeling such a tug on the heart strings: I had one for years, but he eventually grew jealous of my ex-husband. I was forced to choose between them. And I chose the wrong one. 😭

Thinking they're clever with their obfuscation and policy obstacle courses that result in self-inflicted, grievous wounding is peak #Republican brand. You're doing great, guys!!

I keep repeating to myself, “Darkest before the dawn..”. It’s kind of working but remains difficult to watch this “smash and grab” phase of Trump’s administration and their cheerleading troglodytes.

Happy Fathers Day to all the guys trying to model well for all the young people in your lives! Keep walking the talk. Society needs you to step up as mentors, allies and dads. ❤️

Lots of knives out for VPOTUS over the Iran MOU, but the dual-hatted Secretary of State/National Security Advisor should have done more to steer POTUS away from this disastrous war. POTUS of course bears ultimate responsibility for this unnecessary, lawless, and anti-strategic debacle.

Did #JoshHokit imagine that his little boy call out was going to remain confined to the intimate guest list of #TrumpsBirthdayParty, or does he think that he's such a big, important personality that he can weather the backlash? Stupidity and arrogance coexisting in this bottom feeding low life.

These #GOP men suck so bad, it hurts to listen to their mental contortions to get the right #MAGA tone; and when their dear leader is finally gone, I hope they are never able to live it down. Karma, never forget where they live.

Scroll through this list to understand the breadth of what #Hegseth is trying to do among the ranks of our #military. #religion

That's a lot of attention paid to different flavors of Christianity! I had a hard time finding the old list, but I think this is a valid copy: www.scribd.com/document/346...

Hey New York - should your tax dollars go to pay off these violent repeat offenders ? #trumpslushfund

Pardoned J6 terrorist Christopher Moynihan, 34, of Clinton, NY was arrested when he threatened to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Andrew Taake, 37, dodged prison for his sex offense against a child due to the prison-time “credit” he accrued after attacking a police officer on Jan. 6.

This administration is a pack of dogs, and each one has to piss on some fundamental American symbol or right to mark their territory. It's gonna be a Herculean task to clean up and neutralize these urine stains all over DC, all over the law, in each and every federal agency.

I was doing menswear after Annie Hall: ties, vests, the hats. #Prada2 is such a different movie and yet, we're back into the power trip of suiting and ties. The Patriarchy is on notice. We ride at dawn.

Honestly gang, please stop saying, “Let that sink in.” There is so much outrageous, felonious shit happening every day, my personal sewage storage capacity is overflowing.

This was reported by Joe Conason then at the Village Voice. All kinds of factoids in this @snopes.com article that I didn't know (RUPERT MURDOCH OWNED THE VOICE?!!!): www.snopes.com/news/2025/09...

snopes.comWhat we know about reports that Trump evicted 74-year-old stroke victim in the '80s"I remember the specifics of this vile incident all too well," said Joe Conason, the reporter behind the story, in an email to Snopes.

evidently “you could have your stimmies and COVID loans, and accept some nasty inflation as the price, OR you could have no stimulus, followed shortly by mass unemployment and homelessness” was too hard a message for people to grasp istg we need to hire kindergarten teachers as econ communicators
