@ltgrusselhonore @MSNBC @CNN @nytimes Don’t pay attention to what the orange turd says. Watch and report what they do! Don’t get distracted with the shit trying to create chaos and divide us. We gotta be prepared when he robs us and we let him do it because we are fighting about the Gulf of Mexico

@BethMatuga That is a great picture

Everyone over the age of about 40 is still having a hard time believing she's queen, right? I can't be the only one

@aliciaandrz That cover is beautiful 😍 Congratulations!

imagine the feeling of finally holding a book in your hands you worked on for a decade. that’s what I’m feeling right now.

@MorEdge_Insight @ibay770 Florida would be a big no for me. I met many young families from the UK on the street in Tel Aviv in February while visiting my daughter. They said it was getting too scary in the UK and they were thrilled to have made Aliyah

@ibay770 To be honest with you, Florida is our first choice, but we’ve even considered Antarctica 😂

My kids just got back home. They each went to friends after school. When we sat down to catch up about their days, the first thing they both told me is that they’re scared. Especially my youngest. She’s at a Jewish primary school. For the past two days she has two police cars there every morning and every pickup time. I’m friendly with the school security guards, and both have asked me to train them on intuitive counterterrorism basics. The head mistress asked me this morning at drop off what simple things the school could do to improve security. The school has the CST “managing” security, but with the greatest respect to CST and the work they do, the guys managing it here are simply out of their depth in a big way. And the kids at the school feel it. Even the parents feel it. But you can’t have that conversation with CST because for them “they know best” even though not one of them has any experience with this. My daughters were constantly asking me for my assurance that everything is going to be okay. What am I supposed to tell them? No? Of course not. So I smiled and tried to play it all down and lied to them by telling them everything is going to be absolutely fine. They have nothing to worry about. But they know it’s not quite true. They see it and feel it. Kids aren’t fucking stupid. And my daughters have friends at other non Jewish schools and speak to those friends all the time on text or WhatsApp. And none of the other schools have police or security guards or visibly panicked mothers at pickup. Today was the Shabbat assembly, and two police officers came to speak to the kids. Some of the kids are just 4 years old and yet all the kids were given a friendly warm chat about being aware and things to look for and how to notify teachers or security if they see anything suspicious at all. Try explaining to a 4 year old or 5 year old what suspicious is meant to look like? Then my kids asked a question that in truth did catch me off guard a little. They asked where is safe for us. Where are Jews really safe? They know Israel is in the middle of nonstop wars and attacks from enemies. They see the news and watch YouTube and TikTok videos on the hate marches on British streets and all over the world. They read news sites to learn more. They speak with one another sharing what their parents have told them or what they overheard. And they’re frightened. There is simply no way to dispel that fear. And they don’t understand every nuance of what is going on so to them the world hates us. They will be targeted wherever they go. We were going to go to Mallorca for a week in the summer but the girls were adamant that we cancel it because they’ve read a lot about how much Spain hates us. They don’t want to go anywhere in Europe. They’re afraid to go anywhere at all. No matter how much I play it down, the information is out there on the internet and no amount of dismissing can take the reality away. That is what life for a Jewish family has become here in the UK. They see that the government doesn’t care. I never actually realized how much my kids know and how much they’ve researched it. So it’s hard to just dismiss everything because they simply lose trust in me being honest with them. So it’s so important to be balanced and careful. They want me to tighten up security at home. They’re not aware yet that we’re selling the house to leave the UK hopefully by the end of the year. We have viewings this weekend as the house is on the market but we specifically asked that no “For Sale” sign is placed in the front and we have arranged for the kids to be at Grandpa’s for the day tomorrow. It isn’t going to get easier. It’s only going to get much worse. It always does. That’s not being alarmist. That’s simply experience and seeing the patterns and the signs. Almost all our friends are thinking of leaving the UK, and we have a big group of friends. Some have already left. Soon I’ll have to sit the kids down and just tell them

@MissAlly_01 My 3 year old spilled her juice and yelled mommy get the quicker picker upper (ad for Bounty) I realized then she was watching too much tv and how watching any screen talking to us really wired our brains. Just like the algorithms too.

My 4-year-old son said, "Mummy, why do people make up things that their children have said for social media? Isn't it just inherently dishonest & indicative of inability to construct a compelling narrative themselves?"

@LloydCh06965157 That’s wonderful you can do whatever you want just one day at a time and love yourself. You are worthy

Day 69 (😳😏) of sobriety. I bought a new (used) car yesterday all by myself for the first time ever. No mommy or daddy (mostly because he’s dead) to go with me and hold my hand. At 42 yrs old this may not seem like a big deal, but for my fearful ass, it was. Have a great Friday!

One fun feature of twitter is that if you just mention cats, people will reply with pictures of their cats. Watch: Cat.

@AuthorMJClifton Myron I’m not sure how I found you on here but I appreciate you immensely. Keep speaking your truth. Eddie got it so wrong but he does have an accurate view of racism yet he let all those who’s shoulders he stood on down

Breaking down Eddie Claude’s statement where he rationalizes and deflects his lack of support for Hillary, and disingenuously attempts to steer criticism away from himself. The gutting of the VRA is a direct result of his and others who assumed they were smarter than reality.

@JustAMomNamedMM Where u at?

This day can fuck all the way off. Can someone make me a sandwich and bring me a joint?

Couldn’t have said it any better!

@ClaudetteGGibs1 Looking gorgeous

Happy birthday to me. I truly never thought I would see 62. ❤️❤️

@MediawatchNw @MollyJongFast Omg that’s perfect 👌

@MediawatchNw Glad you’re using Schluter you’re doing it right. Are you installing or did you hire?

So I am deep into the engineering phase of my bathroom reno and had to confirm that a drain flange came with the membrane collar, so I posted my question on the Home Depot website. Apparently, even Schluter Systems thinks I am a great conversationalist. 🤣🤣🤣

@MediawatchNw @DrNice2026 Yes you should. Rome is my favorite European city!

@DrNice2026 I should be on that.

Sweet!

@neeratanden That’s my Senator!

She's a big badass!

@medicalgrower42 I agree I’m going on 3 day cruise to Ensenada and they talking bout no weed no vape wtf

We need a cannabis cruise line now, a floating paradise where weed is the main event. No hiding vapes or boring dry cruises; just ocean breezes mixed with fresh terps, perfect strains for every mood, infused gourmet food, hot tub chills, and epic deck raves.

My party is Dem women, whether they’re leftists or liberal progressives. Give me Lauren Underwood, AOC, Abigail Spanberger, Michelle Wu, Mikie Sherrill, Gretchen Whitmer, Katie Hobbs, Letitia James, and on and on… All joyful warriors getting shit done.

@GovernorVA I love it and holding a beautiful baby!!

Today, I signed the Momnibus — a package of bills to improve healthcare coverage for moms and babies. No mother should have to fear dying from childbirth. We have the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income country, and we know Black women are at greatest risk.

@MediawatchNw Rob next time I’m in Pacific Northwest I’m meeting you at a stone yard granite yard 😂😂

@bbjdiamond Me too!

Kelsey and I have been tile shopping all morning. Now the boy is hungry so we stopped at Silver City Brew Pub.

I agree I’ve tried
