Interesting to note the definition of posterity: to preserve something for ALL future generations. ALL. Everyone. All of us. Not you vs. me. All. This is something this current administration clearly does NOT understand or care about. #ranttime

AnnCrystal @Eggbeater truth...I found this utterly unsettling...as an American Indigenous, this one was personal for my mom and I. ✊🏼🐻✊🏼🦅🙏🏼✌🏼. 2d

AnnCrystal @Susanita I couldn't believe someone would actually state this...I had to reread this three times before I believed i was reading it correctly. Her 2015 (date-?) statements were bad enough, this...this was just threatening. ✊🏼🐻✊🏼🦅🙏🏼✌🏼. (edited) 2d

Amiable I would say Anne Coulter is the worst but there‘s so much competition on the right in the race to the bottom. 😖 1d

lil1inblue Wow. That's so disgusting! She is so vile. 🤬 1d

Susanita I‘m eligible to join DAR and “at least four” of my grandparents were born in the United States, but that doesn‘t make me Native American. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1d

AmyG She is a vile woman. Full of hatred. 1d

kspenmoll All the hate is unleashed with this administration- we have to continue to fight back in any way we can. #solidarity #lovenothate #lightnotdarkness 1d

ncsufoxes The southern part of me wants to say “bless her soul.” The Jersey girl in me wants to say 🤬🤬. She needs to crawl back under her rock but unfortunately she feels this administration gives her the platform to spew her hate. 1d

MemoirsForMe 😱😠🤯 1d

GingerAntics Oh my god, how out of line! Then again, the line has been entirely erased at the moment. 🤦🏼‍♀️ It‘s disgusting. 1d

This one caught me by surprise, that it took me way too long to calm down from this. I am so Thankful for Litsy. This crazy world would be far more difficult to process without Litten friends 🫂✌🏼🐻✊🏼🦅💝.

I keep wondering, this has to stop soon...I mean there has to be some kind of Ebenezer Scrooge moment for these people at some point...I'm hopeful

dabbe I'm liking this ONLY in support for you. There is not a word sufficient enough to describe that woman's evilness. Or this administration's. #ranttime We stand with you. 💙✊🏻💙 22h

CBee I‘m with you too, @AnnCrystal ♥️ Keep spreading your light! 22h

AmyG There are so many people in this world, in this administration, that have no empathy. People are not human beings. And in a society, that is a HUGE problem. (edited) 20h

Empathy is truly the missing ingredient from this administration. And as it is said, only evil is without Empathy.

Eggbeater I am grateful to you for shining a light on the truth. I am so sorry she wrote that. It is disgusting. We have your back. 🫂 11h

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal well, they‘re saying the quiet part out loud these days. It‘s hard to process that in 2025, people still think like this. I know what you mean. Without Litsy, I would probably be off social media entirely. I just do not even want to with people. Ugh 8h

Ranting Is My Jam: A Journal for Expressing Yourself | Shelley Renee

A #ranttime for the 4th of July that‘s not political!

It‘s two rants for the price of one.

1. Can we please not have American flag overalls? On anyone?
2. While we‘re at it, can we get rid of competitive eating contests? They‘re just gross in every way.

ChaoticMissAdventures 😂 😂 😂 I just saw a woman at the grocery store head to toe in amercian flag apparel. from hat down to socks and sandals, to the little cart she was pushing. It was for sure a vibe. 6d

Aims42 Hahaha! You have my full support in these things 😂🤣 The eating challenges make me lose my appetite 🤢🤢🤢 6d

Deblovestoread Agree! 6d

Eggbeater Omg! This! 6d

IriDas It‘s hilarious how the “respect the flag” crowd knows nothing of flag etiquette. My kids were in Cadets and Scouts and they know those overalls are disrespectful. (Not to mention the underwear.) 6d

Soubhiville Yes, I‘m with you on both 😆 6d

CBee Totally agree 💯 6d

TheBookHippie 💯💯💯💯💯 6d

ncsufoxes Yes, to both. I wore my VOTE shirt to the store today. No red, white, & blue for me. 6d

Susanita @ncsufoxes I wore a white shirt with teal pants and gray shoes & hat to the ballpark where I had TACOs. 6d

Sace @IriDas Agree! I thought so. You can wear an image of the flag, but not flag as the entire wearable, right? Or am I confused? 6d

Sace You‘ve got my vote on your July 4th platform! 6d

lil1inblue 🤣🤣🤣 I'm on board! (Eating competitions gross me out!) 6d

IriDas @Sace here‘s all the rules: https://www.legion.org/advocacy/flag-advocacy/flag-code It‘s long but if you scroll down it gives you the “dont‘s” 5d

Hamilton: The Revolution | Lin-Manuel Miranda

#WDNCW that we don‘t celebrate the 4th. We never really have…Autistic child that hates fireworks. Also I do not feel very festive. I do not want to celebrate our forefathers (that came from immigrant families) as we are a nation of immigrants & we are currently deporting immigrants. None of the signers of the Declaration of Independence are Indigenous. Plus that the oppression & exploitation of others was used to build this country. No thanks

CBee I feel you on all of this. I‘m going to try fireworks again with J and have his headphones on. We‘ll see. We‘ve avoided it the past few years for sure, but it‘s just us doing it so not one of the big shows (which I wouldn‘t want to go to anyway). Basically doing fireworks because we like them - not so much to celebrate. 1w

dabbe #truth Thanks for speaking your heart's truth. Hugs to your child, too. 💙✊🏻💙 1w

ImperfectCJ 💙 As someone who grew up with a career military dad who still works in the Pentagon at nearly 75 years old and who taught me how to love our country by being critical, vocal, and always demanding accountability and character from our elected officials, I plan to celebrate by exercising my First Amendment responsibilities. I love our Constitution, and I believe that the country's mistakes are an opportunity to improve, not to despair. 1w

ImperfectCJ (I say while fantasizing about moving to a different country...gotta have a balance for sanity.) 1w

Scochrane26 I saw pics of senators smiling after passing the bill today. Happy that they are making more money while condemning people by taking away Medicaid, hospitals, medical staff, etc. Sickening. It makes me so sad & angry. And what they‘re doing to immigrants is disgusting. (edited) 1w

TheLudicReader It's horrifying. 1w

IriDas Having grown up with these folks I can assure you this is what they‘ve always been. This is just years of white liberals pretending that because Republicans are white they are reasonable and don‘t need to be confronted or reigned in. Don‘t forget , on the off chance the Dems regain power, don‘t let off the pressure or we will never get out of this because they are complicit. 1w

University of Virginia Bookstore | Charlottesville, VA (Bookstore)

For today‘s #ranttime here are a couple stories that may have gone under the radar:
1. University of Virginia President resigns under pressure from the federal government because of “DEI” compliance. Note that UVa is a PUBLIC university.
2. Applicants for federal jobs will be asked to submit answers to essay questions. As a #longtimefed I can tell you this is stupid in addition to being troubling.

ncsufoxes The UVA thing is ludicrous. Last year when my husband applied to his job through the government but he‘s a contractor, one of the questions was “have you ever been convicted for trying to overthrow the government.” I‘m guessing that question is no longer on there 1w

Susanita @ncsufoxes Hah! Right? 1w

AnnCrystal Bravo James Ryan for standing up for DEI, even while it meant having to resign.
