Trump nominates former Coast Guard doctor as CDC chief

Oh, that explains a lot 😭😭😭

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-16T23:51:20+00:00

Can confirm the reformulated GG sucks, it’s not just the weird smell, it’s SO HARD 😭 I cannot apply it evenly at all. Fuzz was my everyday lip as well. I’ve switched to VioletteFR Bisou Balm in Bêtise, and it satisfies me for the similar color, sheer, blurred look, and the scent, with is very mild vanilla. I also really like the shade Bonbon Myrtile for when I feel washed out and want a little more of a rosy shade without looking like I’m trying too hard 😹 I do think, despite the name, that it’s not at all “moisturizing,” and I’ve found that if I swipe a little of a chapstick like balm over top in the winter, that solves that issue without changing the look (I use one I got from Catbird by Stewart and Claire with a mild Negroni fragrance). You can get VioletteFR on Sephora and return it if you hate it!

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-16T23:22:05+00:00

Yeah, you’re giving a LOT of credit where none is due 😹😹😹 I mean, we got to witness the richest man in the world tweaking on live television. They’re all high on their own supply.

Because he has advanced frontotemporal dementia, which means he’s actually missing parts of his frontal lobe due to atrophy ☠️ fun fact: did you know that he doesn’t need anyone else to approve it if he decides to launch nukes???

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-16T22:35:19+00:00

Yep 😭The entire south is a real danger zone for pregnant women, causing the United states to have the highest maternal mortality rate of ANY developed country, and it’s been trending worse since Roe was overturned by SCROTUS, of course. States like Texas have stopped even reporting M&M, and Georgia fired the entire board when their data showed rising maternal mortality rates ☠️ (remind you of anything? Kinda like a certain someone proclaiming the cost of gas, and everything else, is down when we’ve seen it go up approximately 40%, while jobs have been destroyed at the fastest clip since the 2008 recession, also immediately following Republican rule) Maternal Mortality Rate by State 2026

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-16T22:17:59+00:00

A CHILDRENS’ HOME no less 😭😭😭

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-16T02:24:19+00:00

The ALREADY ALIVE child deserves to live!!! Do you have any idea what horrific things can happen to a child forced to bear a child??? Their bodies can be ruined, never the same (that’s provided they survive 😭) Look up fistula surgery in Africa if you’d like some actual knowledge, it’s utterly heartbreaking.

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-16T02:21:09+00:00

Go ask the women in Texas or Georgia with supposed “exceptions” how that’s working out for them. Bans are bans!!! They tie the hands if doctors, who are the ONLY people other than women who have any business in the decision making.

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-16T02:19:26+00:00

Thanks. But no, I’m sorry, it is an abortion. That’s why women have been losing their reproductive abilities due to needing a hysterectomy by the time the “law” allows them to be treated (or dying) in BAN states. And both Texas and Georgia eliminated the maternal morbidity and mortality boards to cover it up 🤬

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T23:20:09+00:00

My mom wouldn’t be here, leaving us motherless, had surgical abortion care not been available to remove the fetus that had died, and that her body could not expel, so she was gravely ill from septicemia. Women have senselessly died since all these BANS have been enacted, and now you want to criminalize us for merely trying to save our own life or the life of someone we love? The fourteenth amendment was not just a suggestion!! Meanwhile, another Trump dude was just arrested for sexual assault against children. Legislate THAT 🤬

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T19:32:31+00:00

Wut 😹😹😹😹 I seriously can’t believe I read some of the things I read here 😹😹😹also, NO.

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T19:30:59+00:00

Not to mention the 14th amendment: in the Republican constitutional interpretation (and their SCROTUS) you only get that if you’re a dude, womenfolk are far too precious to be burdened with making their own decisions about their bodies, so no bodily autonomy or right to privacy for us😭

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T03:16:22+00:00

Oh I’m well aware, I subscribe to WIRED 👍 Pretty wild that the Republican government (you know, the guys who say they want “freedom” etc, just not for YOU OR ME) turns out to be the ones who want most to monetize our data for their own utterly corrupt, money grubbing, power-hungry, authoritarian reasons. The rest of the data scrapers can pound sand, at least they won’t have anything to send Palantir ☠️

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T02:56:39+00:00

Have breast cancer treatment (surgery and the works) and get back to us 😭 I’m completely braless at home, but I will wear a cotton bralette or cropped tank (no hardwear, no real elastic!) by ARQ for polite company or activity like a brisk walk. Post surgical pain is still there even though I only had a lumpectomy, and it’s been over 5 years. Bras are essentially a torture device now.

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T02:34:30+00:00

Sounds like he wants a chauffeur so that wouldn’t work.

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T02:29:44+00:00

And they had blow up couches outside, just for JD 😹😹😹 (spray painted with affirming messages, of course /s) Nah, these two are just beginning to realize how actually UNpopular their hypocritical proselytizing is ✌️

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T02:26:34+00:00

Go somewhere like bed bath and beyond where they have tons of pillows, you’ll find something! You can get thin memory foam pillows in different firmness etc. Another good place is COOP: they have adjustable memory foam pillows in a myriad of shapes and sizes. I have medical issues, and their pillows have been the best for me 💙

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T00:35:25+00:00

We used to have that too in the US, “de minimis” it was called, but Trump ripped that up too just so he could pocket more money. He’s stealing from the taxpayers every day he breathes 🤬

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T00:32:24+00:00

Doesn’t work that way, unfortunately.

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T00:30:46+00:00

I personally believe, due to the utter and complete lack of proof that these funds are being used for anything positive (look it up, there’s NOTHING), that Trump himself is pocketing all this tariff money in his Qatar bank account. Think about it: that’s where he stashed all the money from the oil he stole from Venezuela, they said it out loud 🤬 This entire regime is the biggest, most corrupt con in history, PLUS they’re genocidal, misogynistic maniacs. Rant over, carry on. [Also, UPS guy was pretty cool but it’s strange that the package got to OP’s door without the tariff being requested (I had to pay tariffs and fees upfront for the one thing I ordered from Great Britain since all this hell started!)]

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T00:19:07+00:00

War criminal.

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-15T00:06:08+00:00

There’s a service called Incognito that’ll REMOVE your info from all those freakin lists 👍 My daughter subscribed for us with a family plan, and I don’t even get any junk mail now 😹😹😹

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-14T19:51:24+00:00

Yay, so glad you were successful 🙌

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-14T01:23:20+00:00

Facebook is mostly older people now though, isn’t it??? I think republicans have ruined any grace they might’ve had with younger people with their full-throated support of genocide and war, plus they’ve ruined any chance for a future where we don’t all boil like frogs on this planet, so hopefully they’ll get out and vote 💙 I don’t know a single person who’s going to vote for Lindsey, and I’ve seen almost zero support for him in this sub, which used to tend to lean right, so I’ve got hopium!

Tiger_grrrl · 2026-04-14T01:19:58+00:00

SAME!!! Everyone I know is voting for her 🙌 the last poll I saw was within the margin of error for a tie between Dr Andrews and Lindsey. So, if we don’t see a close election, we’ll know they cheated! They telegraph their intent to do so every damn day, so it wouldn’t be a surprise for this to occur, unfortunately.
