Heads up. Remember the supply chain issues during Covid that led to empty shelves? It is going to be that way for the USA in two weeks. My sister who works for a major US company with products in many big box stores is telling me that they are just about out of product. Time to stock up!

I'm meeting friends tomorrow at a local coffee shop to write our elected reps and vent. I've been doing this once a month. It has been a great way to stay connected with loved ones while putting pressure on politicians. Political activism doesn't need to be boring or painful. Go have fun with it!

The SAVE Act just passed the house. This is a dark day for voting rights, especially for married women, the poor, and deployed families abroad. A passport here STARTS at $160, and with DOGE cutting so many services, many wouldn't get their passports in time for the November election. By design.

The GOP cut welfare funding because the poor are lazy, but they also support these tariffs that are tanking our retirement funds, which will require us to need welfare programs when we retire, but we'll be denied access because we didn't pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. Did I get that right?

TikTok is going belly up on Saturday in the US unless a miracle occurs. Where is the #resist crowd migrating to? I feel like I'm playing social media musical chairs these days.

I'm a civil servant now and I want to post about my work SO BADLY but I can't BUT I will assure everyone that all hands are on deck and we are doing everything we can to mitigate the damage and preserve access to services/info. We feel so helpless as the good work we do is unraveled by the regime.☹

Are we in the Bad Place? It feels like we are in the Bad Place.

Watching the GOP defend and gaslight the group chat debacle is so freakishly cult-like that I am gobsmacked. If we ever survive this facist phase of America, we are going to have to hold our own version of the Nuremberg Trials to hold these people publicly accountable. Live are literally at stake.

It is like we are watching the rise of Shitler 2.0 but on a Monty Python timeline.

I'm in the middle of a bad Hashimoto flair up and my daughter and husband are very sick so I am nursing them and I noticed we caught a mouse in a trap but when I picked it up it disintegrated into a black sludge and now I have to do a hazmat cleaning AND we have a dictator is in charge. Send help.😭

I just got a memo from the FDA announcing that whip-its are bad, in case you are wondering how Trump's pick Dr. Marty Makary is doing as head of the FDA.🙄🙄

Ugh. Sen. Gary Peters (D), my senator, was one of the turncoats. He's not running for reelection so I have no idea why the hell he didn't stand up to this budget. We are very displeased.☹
