125. I have a grandson with diabetes that lost his Medicaid and his food stamps

Fri Jun 5, 2026, 03:08 PM

He works part time and went to school full time last year but this year the goal is to keep him alive after the devastating gop cuts

I would vote for the devil himself to end this republican terror we are going through

I worked construction with men for years and I realized pretty quickly I needed to give them a heads up before entering the job because men are raunchy, even my own beloved hubby when he’s with his guy pals loves a raunchy joke. Men and women are wired differently and that doesn’t bother me.
