The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

It is what they are... Fascists.
People who aren't on bluesky have no clue what's going on.
They need to start injecting viruses so anyone trying to acquire information systems shuts down.
Coup is Happening NOW!!!
“Hey Dad, what’s for dinner?”
Fuck if I know kid, I’m having a freak out over our government letting known facists dismantle EVERYTHING! How do you feel about Wendys? Del Taco? McDonalds?

You take action, do good and the cycle breaks.
You see it happening, know what's coming ... and every 'normal moment' is a reminder that you're helpless.
One of them was a 2 yr old, whose whole life was a struggle.
Going to the dentist today was... well... weird.
Everyone was so chipper.
Do they even know?
I'd argue that you should be hitting the gym as prep for the protests and fights with fascists to come.
"A fascist trained today. Did you?" Has been my motto for a while now.
... and I know those two things are intended outcomes.
I'm not hopeful.
Sending love; stay strong. The world is watching, and we see the truth.
Oddly enough it always ends up with them coming out against trans people....

This is terrible & yet if you turn on (say) Bloomberg you’d think everything is normal & Trump & his master, Musk, are just trying to reel in spending . If I heard one more GOPer spinning Trump’s proposal to take over Gaza as “just a way to start a convo” I’m going to lose it!
We have seen this happen before.
That's why it stings when Americans go along with it.
It is sad but it is also a proof of how ppl endure during times likes this.
What's not to like.
