Tonight is the beginning of Passover, when we mark our doorposts with the blood of the lamb so that the angel of death will pass over us. Hopefully, the folks at Mar-a-Lago will be too busy getting lip filler to remember this.

Georgia just passed a “religious freedom” bill. I am really, really tired of having other people’s religious views foisted on me and the rest of the country. I don’t dispute your right to whatever faith you want to pursue, but leave the rest of us the hell alone.

He told us he was gonna do all of this stuff, but the sheer onslaught of this first day has been overwhelming. I can’t believe we have at least four more years of waking up every single morning and wondering what fresh hell awaits us.

I’m about to go to bed and all I can think is this is our last night of living under a sane government in a democratic America. See you on the flipside. Godspeed to us all!

In addition to the substacks I subscribe to, I also have the AP and Reuters news apps on my phone so I get notification of breaking news. When I get a notification from both of them at the same time, I know it’s a big story. Y’all all know what I’m hoping for every time that happens, right?

I just read all my morning daily newsletters @democracydocket.com, @joycewhitevance.bsky.social, Meidas News, Contrarian, and it really hit me that on Monday it’s all going to hell. That pit in my stomach has pretty much overtaken my body. (Also read Jay Kuo & Harry Littman). No MSM!

HS “friend” commenting on post about Trump’s batshit crazy press conference says not to judge him by what he says because it’s designed to “evoke a positive response for the US.” What in the actual hell is he talking about? These people are spinning so hard they’re dizzy!
