Occasional humor, constant honesty Defending human rights & democracy

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to be on here much. My life took a turn. My sister is in prison and I’m raising my 8yr old niece now… for the short version. BUT, I haven’t stopped fighting for democracy. Get out there and vote y’all 🫶🏻🤞🏼

I guess we now live in a world where a “President” can bribe voters for their vote… without any consequences. I really don’t think we can call him a President anymore…

A fed appeals court ruled that the US Constitution does not guarantee a right to clean drinking water, rejecting a lawsuit by Jackson, Mississippi residents over the city's lead-contaminated water system. Think about that. You’re not guaranteed to drink water without lead.

The most disgraceful president to ever exist.

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

I need to go buy stamps for my postcards… I need like 600. Going to order them now so they will be here on time. I’ve procrastinated long enough 😂

Trying to explain to my mother in law what an “almond mom” is (because she kind of is one), and she goes “well, I eat cashews”. She’s so precious 😂

Mike Johnson and the Republicans are running away from the Epstein files so they’ll be taking off the last two weeks of September while the rest of us keep working.

It takes a special kind of evil coward to vandalize Dolly Parton’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame after a lifetime of her doing good and spreading joy however/wherever she could.

The people who whine and cry about “change” happening and boast about “the good ole days” are the SAME people who enjoy changing the name of random shit like bodies of water. W T F.

Finished my goal of writing 500 postcards to swing states. I think I may sign up for a few more now since there’s a little bit of time left to keep writing!

We need a constitutional amendment that gives the people the power to remove a sitting president if Congress refuses to do the job. This is getting ridiculous.

My mom is in surgery this morning. They found an abscess on her intestines & draining it was not an option. She’s going to be out of work & I’m really not sure how I’m going to be able to pay her bills & mine. She doesn’t have insurance except for Medicaid. Please pray for my family.

People at my work are talking about how Dolly was an icon. It’s true, she is well loved by all us Appalachian folk. If only they could take a page out of her book and learn to love everyone though. She wasn’t openly red or blue, but she advocated for LGBTQ, supported BLM….

And even donated $1M to fund research for the Covid vaccine. She was a better Christian than all of MAGA put together. We should all be a little more like Dolly.

An executive order is not a law. An executive order is not a law. An executive order is not a law. An executive order is not a law. An executive order is not a law. An executive order is not a law.

Back and forth, back and forth…

BREAKING: A federal judge has again temporarily blocked Trump’s new mail-voting restrictions, issuing a 14-day hold after the Postal Service finalized its rules. The legal fight could soon return to the Supreme Court.

REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still: •Has his job •Gets paid, and •Gets free world-class healthcare The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets all three as he needs it most.😐

Frustrated and mentally exhausted. I don’t think I’ve ever been this tired before. So much bad stuff going on in the world and in my personal life. Trying hard to keep following this light to the end of the tunnel. Peace and love friends.

Call me crazy, but perhaps being related to a Senator who died doesn’t qualify you to be a Senator.

Currently annoyed because a nurse has taken 5 days now to complete documentation that I need for authorization. Oh and she’s off today, so it will not be done today either. If you don’t care about delaying patient care or causing auth to get denied due to documentation, please don’t be a nurse.

Revenge for what? Innocent children killed in revenge for what? Sorry, it is inconceivable that the Jews suffered genocide during WWII and now COMMIT genocide against the Palestinians, who did WHAT to them? And, sorry, I don't think anyone is anymore special or chosen than anyone else, God-wise.

Donald Trump is a rapist and should be impeached. It’s a disgrace that he’s still allowed to hold the title of “President” because he certainly doesn’t deserve it.

Trump announced yesterday he will repurpose huge chunks of federal lands to host AI data centers. This massive giveaway to Big Tech comes despite surging public opposition to data centers— including among Trump's own voters.

So were they paid protesters or were they victims? J6 can’t be fake and real at the same time can it?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump makes clear that he still supports the taxpayer-funded J6 slush fund: "I will always feel that these victims of govt abuse should be paid back ... Millions agree with me, as was proven in my landslide Presidential win, where this was a major subject of debate."

Trump has to pay E. Jean Carroll millions for sexual abuse. I wonder how MAGA is going to spin this one. I’m sure it just another “fake ruling” with a “fake judge”. I wish they would just accept reality and realize they voted for a rapist.

How do you think it would have been covered if President Obama had to pay $5 million to a woman he sexually abused and defamed? Do you think the White House press would have asked him about it?
