I am going to imagine that this is a fictional timeline as I listen to this speech. Anything short of dissociation is going to lead to an existential crisis on a work night.

My local representative (Senator Marshall) got on the train of poor town hall showings by walking out right as the questions started today. (DOGE cuts being the first and only topic raised.) Those of us he claims to represent are not pleased. youtube.com/shorts/7sj8p...

Absolutely NSFW, but if you protest, excellent advice: youtube.com/shorts/rNqkG...

I very much respect Zelenskyy's grit, and am fully ashamed to be an American under the Trump/Vance/Musk regime. 🤬

Taking a figurative chainsaw to the federal workforce with such critical responsibilities is like taking a literal chainsaw to a building without turning off the electricity, gas or water while people are still living there. There will be consequences.

Given A.I. has a tendency to "hallucinate" this seems like it has the potential to be even worse than random layoffs. Also, exactly how are they training the A.I. to generalize? A better use would be to train on economic data. Who literally provides societal value? Spoiler: not billionaires.

So the "White House Faith Office" has a fundraising ad that flat out proves we're in the absolute wrong timeline here! Also, I thought the whole Catholic/Protestant divide started with indulgences, and it sure sounds like this Baptist woman is offering indulgences. youtu.be/2VejzsRNaeI?...

The $400M worth of State Department Teslas? Trump admin said that started in Biden White House. But I obtained a document showing the amount Biden's State Department planned to spend on EVs: $483,000. Former WH official on $400M: "I don’t think this is a clerical error" www.npr.org/2025/02/24/n...

A bit of a read, but worth it to understand the levels of disorder this administration could potentially reach.

The reason I haven't attended protests is simply because I really am unsure of my ability of "peaceful resistance." I have a black belt in taekwondo and I don't know that I could abandon my training if some "Proud Boy" wannabe laid hands on me. Awesome action movie plot though!

I know enough about database design that I agree with her evaluation. There is little to stop someone with read/write access from putting in a very dangerous, very innocuous looking line of code. youtube.com/shorts/BVjui...

How is anyone able to spin this to say that Trump isn't forming an authoritarian dictatorship?

I have not verified this estimate, but just know, it was never about "efficiency" when it comes to money. It's about efficiency in completely taking over the government.

They're definitely not trying to avoid the eugenics playbook. Disregarding the needs of disabled children is an ominous step!

I'm in a "Washington Update Webinar Series" from AHIMA regarding changes in healthcare law. This stood out; "HIPAA Privacy Rule for reproductive health privacy will likely be revised." I knew this was likely, but didn't really want to hear it.

I really needed this today! It's easy to feel like we've done all of this to ourselves, but maybe it was never really in our hands.

I guess they believe that America was "great" prior to the civil rights movement, so it all must be undone? I would start with the corporate greed that has developed since then, but who am I? Oh, just a female and thus DEI hire.

A tragedy like this and they use it to further their scapegoating. Sick!

The opposite of anxiety is action. We need to focus on who we love and care for, foster a sense of community, and find what we do have power over. Headlines sell advertising that gives more money to the rich. Don't give attention and time in a way that ultimately disempowers you.
