I have begun the habit of only looking at the #dogsofbluesky feed at bedtime. It calms me down and makes me smile. I sleep better.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

How about getting off your asses -- or your knees -- and calling your representatives? Getting out and protesting? Talking to your MAGA friends and neighbors?

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

I'll say it again: DEI is simply the idea that maybe a white male isn't the only, or even the best, option. Hegseth is a racist asshole who is firing our best and brightest simply because they're not white males. Everyone, including and maybe especially white males, should be furious.

Please read Project 2025. None of this is impulsive. It’s been planned for decades. Heritage just needed a useful idiot they could pay off to do it.

I recognize the privilege in this. Some people do not have the budget to ignore the lowest price. But where you can, please shop elsewhere.

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

One of my connections on this platform, who is black, believes there will always be racism in the US. That breaks my heart. Goddammit, white people, we HAVE to do better. White people created racism and white people have to take responsibility for it and fix it.
