I know I put my garden seeds in a really good spot I for sure wouldn't forget, but if someone wanted to remind me where that spot was, I wouldn't complain...

Sitting in bed, Googling how to eat chicken feet. (I'm vegan.) Typical Friday night fun.

Every night I have to remind my dog that she is seeing her own reflection in the window, not a prowler.

Retaliatory tariffs are all right and good but if Canada, Mexico and the EU want to get this over with sanctioning the hell out of Trump’s oligarchs seems like a force multiplier.

BREAKING: Two USAID security officials denied Elon Musk’s DOGE crew access to classified material that they lacked clearance for. Trump just put them both on leave for doing their job. The lawlessness continues. Please make it STOP!

cannot be said enough that for a decade a critical number of americans have simply refused to accept that he means what he says

Channeling my Depression-era great grandmother. The skills I learned from her are going to come in handy...

It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

If you can’t handle the social discomfort or personal inconvenience of wearing an n95 to protect disability communities, you won’t be able to handle the discomfort and risk of actual “resistance” work. Expand your capacity for discomfort to expand your capacity to liberate. And wear a damn mask:

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

With all the shock and awe we've seen lately, I'm starting to wonder if the threat of increased tariffs on 2/1 is a ploy to get us to panic buy so he can say, "Look how strong the economy is under me in just two weeks!"

Contrary to popular belief, there are only four kinds of bats.

Everyone was warned about this, and it’s happening just as we feared.

If you've never read "Farewell to Manzanar," you should. ASAP. I think we'll see some parallels very soon.

The reality is that these positions are more important than Sec of Defense because they will do all the work and define all strategies. He won't freelance decisions. @schumer.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov What do you have planned ?

I was just trying to order 1984, Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies, etc. from Thriftbooks so my kids will have access to them after they're banned, and the copies were selling out before I could place my order. Over and over. Never happened to me before. We can all see what's coming...

Hell no!!

It took all of *4 days* before a Republican introduced a constitutional amendment to allow Trump to run for a third term.

At least I have my snuggle pups.

A norovirus vaccine? Yes please!

It's not just electricity that's going to stop coming from Canada. 99% of propane in the US is imported from them. I heat my home on propane. It's so infuriating that people without foresight fucked around and now we ALL have to find out.

Something to think about

Get some Mifepristone and Plan B to have on hand. If not for you, then for a loved one who may find themselves in need. Do it NOW.

They removed the Constitution from the White House website. Worried yet?

The “free speech defenders,” ladies and gentlemen.

The Trump Administration has eliminated the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

Fifteen years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations & billionaires like Jeff Bezos & Elon Musk can spend infinite amounts in elections to buy influence. Citizens United must be overturned so our democracy works for working Americans, not the 1%.

I dunno. Here is a deer yawning on my trail camera. It makes me giggle. Trying to focus on the things that bring me joy.

"Winter is for rest." False. Winter is for deep cleaning my house. You think I want to declutter drawers or oil my cutting boards when it's warm and sunny out?!

FACTS!!

Trump has 10 minutes to end the war in Ukraine per his repeated promises that it would be over within 24 hours.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

An entire lineage of influenza B viruses literally went extinct due to COVID mitigation measures and people will still say “masks don’t work”
