A president saying "Long live the King" in reference to themselves is one of the most un-American things a leader could do. We created our union in rebellion to a monarchy. Our very principles of democracy are anti-monarchy. These words are very telling of the way the president views himself.

I cannot think of anything more profoundly un-American than a president declaring himself a ā€œkingā€

Resist

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidentsā€™ Day at noon. While mainstream media isnā€™t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

I watched all of Heartstopper for the first time this month. Such a cute show!

Democrats in Congress, if you want to stop this madness, go to where Musk and his people are. Demand to see what they are doing. Make it hard for them to do what they have been doing.

Let's see if I can write 10,000 words in my novel this month. It's currently at 175,000 words total. I wrote about 200 yesterday, which is the most I've added since the end of November. #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #writing #writer #fantasywriter

Iā€™ve bought several shirts from El Manor Ave and love every one of them. Great style options and fits and Iā€™m literally wearing one right now (the Steller's Jay). Highly recommend checking the store out and supporting an #LGBTQ small business!

The snow is really coming down in Tumwater/Olympia now! #wawx #snow

Want to support a #LGBTQ -owned small business? I sell graphic tees at www.elmanorave.com. I'm looking to close the business down this year due to cost and other commitments, so anything you can take off my hands is appreciated (yes, all inventory is at my house). #gay #smallbusiness

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

If this isn't enough to freak everybody the fuck out, I do not know what else will.

It's the people who aren't concerned about everything Trump has done so far that concern me... I will fight back against this repressive regime that's forming. I will use my voice to defend my rights, and those of my friends.

The madman in charge is removing webpages across government websites that are essential for our health. PrEP is a life-saving drug that can help eliminate HIV risk. Now, it will be harder to learn about it. And just a reminder that not just gay men are at risk of HIV...

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

In the 20th century, they were known as "concentration camps." Now, they are simply called "housing." Doesn't that sound so much more humane? Voila, problem solved!

What a beautiful evening! Caught the alpenglow on Mount Rainier from a local park. It had been some time since I'd done so (years!). #sunset #photography #mountrainier #mtrainier #pnw #olympia #wawx #photographer #landscapephoto #alpenglow

So, I'm thinking it would be cool to make a video every month just raising awareness about new laws/bills/regulations that impact the LGBTQ+ community. Is that something people would be interested in watching? #politics #gay #lgbtq

I released a new video on my new channel, Chasing My Pride. In this video, I talk about the positive reactions from friends and family when I came out, and read some of the nice comments I got: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MzT... #gay #lgbtq #youtube #video

The same people having a temper tantrum over DEI just confirmed the least qualified Secretary of Defense in US history because Trump liked him on TV.

Trump is so blinded by hatred for California that heā€™s considering eliminating an agency that overwhelmingly helps red states.

BREAKING, via The Seattle Times: Trump's executive order to restrict birthright citizenship is blocked for at least the next two weeks by a Reagan appointee in Seattle who eviscerated the Trump lawyers present defending the order. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Trump can "accomplish" so much in a day because it can take months or years to build a building and only moments to demolish it

I really need to build out my Bluesky community. I'm not seeing a ton of posts, and when I post I feel like I'm yelling into the void.

ā€œliberal biasā€ is when people donā€™t like me

Love this! We will prevail

This monster is going to destroy this country by the end of the month.

I made a video going through Metaā€™s new policies and how harmful they will be. Meta's New Anti-LGBTQ+ Rule Changes Will Allow Hate Speech youtu.be/C9fnmc4vSt0 #meta #gay #lgbtq #video

The countryā€™s biggest snowflake is at it again. He canā€™t take any criticism or reason and always resorts to hate as a defense

After the election, I started sounding the alarm on Trumpā€™s plan to end birthright citizenship and deport U.S. citizens. I had a former coworker and daughter of immigrants get mad at me and block me for not understanding how it works and for apparently speaking for immigrants. Wellā€¦who was right?

In case anyone was wondering whether Trump would serve the working class or the billionaire class, here's a picture that spells it out pretty clearly.

Been feeling really anxious šŸ˜– yesterday was scary and itā€™s gonna continue to feel this way. But remember that these people that are in power FOR NOW opt to use fear as a means to control. We got this.

Trump just pardoned these people. Donā€™t ever tell me Republicans ā€œback the blueā€ again.

It hasnā€™t even been a full day and weā€™re already taking a nose dive as a country. Rolling back of climate protections, renaming Denali (why?), undoing work to lower drug costs for Medicaid and Medicare, pardoning dangerous insurrectionists, Elon giving a racist saluteā€¦
