It is March 2, 2025. My plan was to leave the world on March 2, 2024. What a difference in a year. I still have bad days. But reasons to stay are easier to find each day. Thankful for family, for friends, for library kids who ARE going to save the world. Once a library kid, always a library kid 💚

Not difficult to see why this is the case. All those pre-inauguration gains are wiped out because we didn’t think he was serious. Trump sounds “silly” and “unserious” until he isn’t. By then, it’s too late.

A case of measles was reported in Austin on Friday involving an unvaccinated infant who became infected while traveling overseas. The baby's parents are vaccinated and local officials do not believe anyone else locally has been exposed.

I’m both embarrassed for/by and enraged at my country’s leaders, although we can hardly call them that. Absolutely disgusting.

Hallmark of the rise of a fascist ruler: demands for absolute surrender, allegiance, and loyalty. I will never regret my early comparisons of this man to Hitler.

The reason I ♥️d Bridget Jones's Diary (movie, not book) is bc it showed that life isn't what we expect & isn't perfect. I ♥️ the new one bc it revisits characters I love (w new ones) & shows that even twenty years later, just bc life isn't what we expected - hard & wonderful things happen🩷

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

"No storm can shake my inmost calm, While to that rock I'm clinging. Since love is lord of heaven and earth How can I keep from singing? When tyrants tremble in their fear And hear their death knell ringing, When friends rejoice both far and near How can I keep from singing?"

Migrant shelters mostly along the Texas-Mexico border reported a plunge in the number of people in their care since the Trump administration effectively closed the border to asylum seekers in January. Some expect to close by the end of the month.

Folks saying “this won’t change Zionists minds” - who cares? This isn’t about them. This publicly separates zionism and Judaism and creates community for like-minded people (who’ve been told they’re not real Jews). It will give people COURAGE to speak out. Not all activism is about changing minds

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

So, the House Republicans published their official budget resolution today, which, as expected, calls for gutting Medicaid/CHIP. As a reminder, nearly 80 million Americans rely on Medicaid/CHIP for their healthcare coverage...nearly half of whom are children. acasignups.net/25/01/30/psy...

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Bison should be allowed to roam free and cattle should be restricted to private land. All abandoned barbed wire should be removed from public land. The money today being wasted on public lands grazing should go into building wildlife overpasses and installing wildlife safe guide fencing.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.
