Charlie Kirk was a fucking racist ass white guy who was just a bigoted podcaster at the end of the day who said he didn’t believe in empathy, and certainly will never get any from me.
Also, I have never been a big Disney fan – I’ve only been to Disneyland a handful of times in my life even though it’s literally half an hour away from my apartment. My friend’s mom worked there for 20+ years and the day she retired, they cut off her free Disney+ account – Like, how fucking cheap are you that you don’t provide free Disney+ for life for employees who retired from your company after 20+ years??? I hardly went there as a kid, and I don’t have any kids to bring there now, so it’s not a nostalgic place for me.
Anyway, I can’t believe this is the America we’re living in rn. I’m just gonna leave these here to show what kind of person Trump and Disney are defending:
[Executions] should be public. It should be quick. It should be televised. You could fund the government. You could have like, ‘brought to you by Coca-Cola.’
I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that β it does a lot of damage.
I think itβs worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.
The shooter was, as per usual, one of you guys – American, white, republican, and born and raised in Utah.
Just relieved the police have ‘white’-dentified the suspect

How’d that work out for you? π
How ironic that this racist white guy was fatally shot by another white guy in one of the whitest states in America. ‘Just saying.’
I was eating breakfast at a diner in Joshua Tree this morning, and this loud ass old white guy from Texas was on his phone talking about being a Trump supporter and complaining about ‘idiot millennials’ having their phones glued to their hands at all times.
#1 Sir, you’re the only one in this diner full of younger people who is on their phone – and you’re def not a millennial, but probably an idiot! And #2 Can I fucking enjoy my chicken fried steak in peace?!
If the President of the United States dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the Vice President automatically becomes President. If the Vice President is also unable to serve, the Speaker of the Housethen becomes President. After the Speaker, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and then the heads of the cabinet departments in order of their agencies’ creation would follow in the line of succession.
Here’s the breakdown of the current presidential line of succession (along with links to unsavory articles about 99% of them):
Vice President: JD Vance π€’ (I don’t have the bandwidth to list everything I despise about this man, just google his ass)
Speaker of the House of Representatives: Mike Johnson π€’ (said California Governor Newsom should be ‘tarred and feathered’ for his opposition of Trump sending the National Guard and Marines to LA during the ICE protests)
President Pro Tempore of the Senate: Chuck Grassley π€’ (he’s in his fucking 90s!)
Secretary of the Treasury: Scott Bessent π€’ (gay and married and had children through a surrogate, yet has not said one word about Trump’s anti-gay and anti-women’s reproductive rights agenda)
Secretary of Commerce: Howard Lutnick π€’ (said the ridiculously high tariffs on foreign countries won’t matter ‘if you build in America and produce your product in America’ and his flabbers were gasted when congresswoman Madeleine Dean said, ‘We cannot build bananas in America’)
Secretary of Labor: Lori Chavez-DeRemer (A pro-union republican? Isn’t that an oxymoron?)
Secretary of Health and Human Services: Robert F. Kennedy π€’ (an anti-vaxxer in charge of America’s health!)
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Scott Turner (I searched everywhere for a negative article about this man, but his only fault is that he used to play in the NFL for the San Diego Chargers π)
Secretary of Transportation: Sean Duffy π€’ (a frat boy from MTVβs The Real World: Boston. True story!)
Secretary of Energy: Chris Wright π€’ (doesn’t believe in renewable energy, and continues to push the use of coal, oil and gas)
Secretary of Education: Linda Mcmahon π€’ (wants to privatize public schools)
Secretary of Veterans Affairs: Doug Collins π€’ (plans to cut 80,000 jobs at the Department of Veteran’s Affairs. My dad and uncles are veterans, and it already takes forever for their claims to go through. How is cutting 80k jobs from the VA workforce gonna help that???)
Secretary of Homeland Security: Kristi Noem π€’ (I can’t fucking stand this woman and her ICE commercials. If the 17 people before her die, and she’s appointed president, we’re cooked)
I didn’t even know there was a curfew in place until I checked in with my coworker, Thalia, who lives in DTLA, to make sure she was safe. I’m so disgusted with everything happening right now, and these posts on social media are fueling my rage π€¬
And as if Instagram knew I needed some reprieve from all these videos, my algorithm showed me this sweet genre crossover cover that I never knew I needed in my life π
My mom called me to make sure I was safe from the protests happening in LA right now. I’m v far from DTLA. ICE isn’t doing any raids in Manhattan Beach! Is this really where Trump wants to focus his resources? π Deploying the National Guard and Marines to LA? Where the fuck were they during the January 6 Insurrection that Trump incited???
I was eating at a cafe the other week, and they were playing Spanish radio. I almost spit out my turkey and brie croissant when I heard a commercial of the secretary of homeland security threatening illegal immigrants:
Are they buying ads on Spanish radio now??? I get emails from Redondo Beach News Update, and I can’t take them seriously when they allow Kim K. to buy ads in their emails. Everything I know about the Kardashians, I learned against my will.
Also, this Trump-Elon Twitter feud is wild. I used to be active on Twitter, but I left after Elon Musk acquired it, changed its name to ‘X’, and reinstated Trump’s account (he was banned while I was using it). I still can’t believe this man-child is our president (again).
The new Ministry of Magic inside The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opens at Universal Orlando this year, but I hate Trump more than I love Disney or Universal Studios (I barely even go to the ones we have in SoCal), so you won’t find me in Florida or any other red state in the foreseeable future.
Jessie was checking if I meant to follow Trump and Vance. I realized I was still following @potus and @vp from Biden and Kamala’s administration literally 3 days ago. You guys, I’m hardly on social media. So much so, that I tried to do the Top 9 once, and I couldn’t because I didn’t even have 9 posts that year π Who knows how long it would’ve taken me to realize I was following those idiots.
Please check your social media accounts! And if you meant to follow these fools, why are we friends???
Welp, I’ve got no kids, and the unsweetened almond milk I put in my cold brew every morning is shelf-stable.
We (just barely) survived the four years Trump was elected before, we’ll survive the next four…
If not, I have a friend and old coworker who’s a digital nomad. She works completely remote (like I have for nearly 5 years now), so has spent the past year living abroad. The only downside is she has to work US (PST) hours, so depending where she is, her schedule could be completely out of wack. I looked into countries with digital nomad visas. Thailand seems the most lucrative with their visa being good for up to 5 years. Being out of the country for the duration of Trump’s entire presidency, plus I get to see Moo Deng??? Win-win βπ»
I woke up today to the news of Trump winning, and I got my period, ironically. It’s like my uterus was revolting against Trump’s stance on reproductive rights and abortion. How anyone could vote this convicted felon, rapist, sexist, racist, and misogynistic narcissist back into office is beyond me π€―
I was driving behind this idiot Trumper last weekend who had the sticker βProud American, Embarrassed Californianβ (among others) on their car. Iβm about to cricut a βProud Californian, Embarrassed Americanβ sticker for my car. So disappointed in America today, but especially you, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania π
Anyway, I might move to Spain for the next 4 years and work on a sunflower farm, IDK.
There was an assassination attempt on Trump over the weekend, and I thought, ‘How is this only the first time someone tried to kill him?’ I also thought of this quote from The Wire:
How did that kid shoot him and miss? Lee Harvey Oswald was able to assassinate JFK while he was in a moving car.
Also, in unrelated news, I saw this shirt at the mall:
Talking to Pammie about current events is like trying to find meaning in a Pauly Shore movie π
My sister has been in Solana Beach for work all week, so my parents are taking me to my doctor’s appointment in LA tomorrow. I got my labs back, and it was negative for lymphoma and leukemia, but my white blood cell count was still elevated and they saw some ‘abnormalities’ whatever that means. Hopefully the hematologist will have more insight for me tomorrow. At least it’s not blood cancer! π
If you need an abortion (whether it’s medically necessary for your health, you were raped, or you simply don’t want a baby), you’re welcome to cross over to California where abortions are safe and legal, and stay at my apartment in LA, no questions asked βπΌ Well, I have some questions… Like, how are you getting there, because I don’t drive π The nearest Planned Parenthood is just a few miles away (I’ve been to that one and they’ve taken care of me despite their shitty Google rating!)…
I’d be this happy, too, if I was doing skin-to-skin with Jessie’s husband LOL.
Luckily, we live in a state where IVF is still protected instead of backwards-ass Alabama where the practice is threatened after a recent court ruling (and abortion is also banned!). After Jessie survived breast cancer, her surrogate got pregnant with her and Abe’s very last embryo, so Isaac is truly a miracle baby π₯Ή
When I was in high school, my friend Jocelyn was nominated for homecoming queen. She was ASB president and one of the most popular girls in school, so all my friends thought she was a shoo-in and none of us bothered to vote. She ended up tying with another girl and having to share the crown! If just one of us had voted, Jocelyn would still be friends with us today LOL. Your vote absolutely matters, whether it’s for something as trivial as homecoming court or the next POTUS!
Please exercise your right to vote and be safe out there. A few places in my neighborhood have already boarded up their storefronts ahead of tonight’s election results…
