1/2 Stepping away from social media in all forms right now. I was ok for the first week or so of this coup. But as this goes on and it really sinks in that we're in for some serious damage, I've lost the ability to do the things that usually make me happy. I need to do more to take care of myself.

Screw Google for capitulating to this childish nonsense.

BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL BOO DONALD TRUMP AT THE SUPER BOWL PASS IT ON!!!

ELON IS ALLOWED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OR STUDENTS & PARENTS. I WILL BE BACK.

Lengthy, but worth reading through the entire thread.

It was all in Project 2025…

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

The Trump administration, along with Elon Musk’s staffers, has jeopardized the security of the C.I.A. by making employee names public—a move both illegal and dangerous. Current officials confirmed that the C.I.A. sent employee names to the OPM, complying with an executive order signed by Trump.

Thou shalt impeach the motherfucker.

I'm working on taking this approach, but feeling powerless to do much more than scream at my computer screen.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Musk needs to face prison time for illegally accessing everyone’s social security numbers. Call your district attorneys and reps, demand action be taken.

This makes me feel ... maybe a smidge less horrified. It's a very good breakdown: Is Somebody Doing Something?! open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov Do something already!!

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

So that Romney wasn't a bad spin, but the colors ended up pretty muddy. This is likely to sit in stash til DH needs another hat. ##handspinning #spinnersofbluesky

BEHOLD! Bluesky has hit 30 MILLION users! We’re here to stay!

Can't bear to go to my weekly knitting group today. There's an unspoken rule against discussing politics, but there are a couple of people... A few weeks ago they were breathlessly congratulating themselves for voting for him and trading tips on how best to watch his inauguration. I just can't. Ugh.
