Separation of church and state: A tutorial. As a practicing Catholic, I believe all children are a gift from God, regardless of how they were concieved. Yes ALL. As an American, I do NOT believe I have the right to impose those religious beliefs on others. It's not hard.

@reeetums You're a great mom by doing what you need to do to get through cancer and be there for the kiddos. The mom guilt is real but you've got this. Mine is 22 and she was 9 when I was diagnosed. Never thought to see her graduate high school and I just watched her graduate from college.

Day 2 after chemo is rough. I've been in bed all day. It makes me feel like a bad Mom. But healing from cancer is my job right now so I can be around in the future.

@JJSingleton1 Agree 110%. I've been in active treatment for Stage 4 breast cancer for 14 years and I've been through some shit. How do you compare that w/my chemo buddy who had ovarian cancer twice and died after 2 years? Every journey is different and valid.

I've learned a lot over the last decade of being a cancer patient and living with cancer but one thing I know that needs to be addressed and talked about more is the need to quit comparing one person's cancer to another cancer patient. This happens inside the cancer world but in

Yeah they gotta do it themselves now since trump fired like 90% of the national park service

@BasedMikeLee He didn’t deserve the end result. That being said - yes he was a misogynist and he used scripture to validate racist opinions. Here’s a post to take a look at and I think the point is valid.

BREAKING: Journalist and college professor Stacey Patton goes viral by penning a stunningly powerful statement about how she was on Charlie Kirk’s “digital hit list” and recounting the horror that he inflicted on her. We cannot allow this tragic assassination to whitewash Kirk’s legacy… “I am on Charlie Kirk’s hit list,” Patton wrote to her 215,000 followers on Facebook. “His so-called ‘Professor Watchlist,’ run under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to power. I landed there in 2024 after writing commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And once my name went up, the harassment machine roared to life.” “For weeks my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: ‘bitch,’ ‘c*nt,’ ‘n****r.’ They threatened all manner of violence,” she continued. “They overwhelmed the university’s PR lines and the president’s office with calls demanding that I be fired,” Patton wrote. “The flood was so relentless that the head of campus security reached out to offer me an escort, because they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step out of his basement and come do me harm.” “And I am not unique,” she added. “Kirk’s Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse,” Patton wrote. “Some received death threats. Some had their jobs threatened. Some left academia entirely. Kirk sent the loud message to us: speak the truth and we will unleash the mob!” she continued. “That is the culture of violence Charlie Kirk built. He normalized violence. He curated it, monetized it, and sicced it on anyone who dared to puncture his movement’s lies,” she wrote. “And now, in the wake of his shooting, there’s all this national outpouring of mourning, moments of silence, yellow prayer hands, and tributes painting him as a civil debater,” Patton continued. “But the truth is that Kirk and his foot soldiers spent years terrorizing educators, trying to silence us with harassment and fear!” “And now the same violence he unleashed on others has come full circle.” “But what i find especially jarring is the dissonance in public mourning for a smug white man whose life work was actively hostile to certain groups,” she continued. “Kirk spent years demonizing LGBTQ people, mocking gun survivors, spewing racism about Black folks, and pushing policies that literally shorten lives.” “It is so revolting to watch a bipartisan wave of grief sweep over this hateful racist as if he was a neutral community servant,” she concluded. This is pure unvarnished truth from Patton. Charlie Kirk did not deserve what happened to him, but nor did his victims deserve the hell that he unleashed on them. If Americans are going to build a more peaceful future for ourselves we must condemn political violence while also condemning the hateful, bigoted rhetoric that made Kirk a multimillionaire. Please retweet and ❤️ if Patton’s message struck a chord with you!

In June 2025, Democratic elected official Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, along with their dog, were assassinated by a Trump supporter Trump did not lower the flags to half-mast He did not attend their funeral President Biden, on the other hand, knelt before their coffins

@LarryDJonesJr That would require a Constitutional amendment, not simply a bill passed by Congress.

🚨BREAKING: Jim Jordan introduces a new bill that would require American-born citizenship for both the presidency and Congress. Do you support this common-sense measure?

We are slowly witnessing a soft secession

@reeetums Are you wearing the ice mitten gloves? Those (and the ice socks) really kept mine from progressing.

Good news! I've had four chemo sessions and I have NOT developed any neuropathy in my hands. As a pianist, I'm absolutely terrified of permanent neuropathy. It's now unlikely that I'll get it and I'm exceedingly grateful. ☺️

@JJSingleton1 Hang in there. I lost count of my # but some days are definitely harder than others.

Chemo round 172: Today is hard physically mentally and emotionally one of the tougher chemo day mornings I've had but through it I showed up I am here and I'm doing this infusion yet again. I am strong I am tough I am all of those words people use to describe me and so many

My 6yo son has been talking about needing to do his hair nice and be cute for school so he can “attract females.” I was terrified he got exposed to some alpha male shit. You know what it was? Fucking Animal Planet. He is learning to flirt from BIRD documentaries.

@StephenM By taking them away from their families to clean up trash and do landscaping?

This Labor Day we commit ourselves to the defense of the citizens whose toil and sacrifice built this nation.

What the fuck happened to all those guardrails in place to prevent some fucking lunatic from hijacking the entire federal government and judicial system?

@YaleLawSch did this guy take Constitutional Law?

@EastEndJoe It something I started seeing about 5 or 6 years ago. Mostly for seniors to rent and decorate a specific parking space. They paint over them all at the end of the year.

Since when do kids start renting and painting parking spots at schools?

@hopefulgirlxxx Good luck. It's so hard being a lifer. I hope the new meds are tolerable and give you a nice stretch of good time.

I hope I get to see the oncologist this week and start my new meds asap. Please send positive vibes that they are kind to me and they work 💗
