I had to take a break from the news & socials tonight so I binged some tv which turned out to be a fun escape. Anyone else watching "School Spirits" on Paramount Plus? I have a feeling I know where they're going w/ it but several times I was surprised. Curious what anyone else thinks of it. :)

😡😡😡😡

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

I really think PBS needs to re-run the Ken Burns documentary on the National Parks like ... yesterday. You know .. for ... reasons...

Someone on Threads listed all of the cities that had protests in California alone today - over 70! Proud of my state. Thank you for speaking out and taking a stand for those of us who weren't able to. It's appreciated.

Holy. Fuck.

Spiraling today. Personal issues doubled with … *Hand gestures* … everything ELSE going on and I’m overwhelmed & exhausted both emotionally and physically. This sucks.

I have no doubt they're going to try to do away with national parks entirely. 😡

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

It gives me no pleasure to say she was right.

If you’re not following @altnps.bsky.social I highly recommend checking them out.

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

Hello America, you look ridiculous in that Nazi uniform

I was at a local fast food joint earlier w/my sister & overheard the 2 older gentleman at the table behind us talk about how Cheetolino is “a real bad seed”. While CA is blue my corner is purple bordering on red so it felt good to hear that others (in person & not just online) really do see it too.

It’s been a long week. Have a pic of Miss Kaylee Pup - she says “woof” which means hi!

Remember when social media was full of silly jokes, funny memes, clever puns, and was basically fun? I miss those times…

I hope folks understand what’s happening here. Some in the administration view concentration camps inside the US as *maybe* a bridge too far. So they’re starting with Guantanamo Bay, away from prying eyes and 24/7 coverage.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

I keep seeing posts saying things like, “his presidency is worse than I imagined” and I’m kind of baffled because it’s pretty much been exactly what I expected: horrendous.

Many people don't seem to understand that most research labs operate on soft money from grants. So, "pausing grants" means labs must be shuttered because nobody will get paid. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Everything is extremely chaotic but the best info we have so far suggests that Trump’s “stop funding” EO would cover: Medicaid ESSA funds IDEA Snap School meals WIC Head start grants Child care block grants Pell grants Student loans Higher Ed grants Housing vouchers CTE Devastating beyond words.

Mom’s Magat room mate is yelling at her TV (which is on Faux News) and is ranting about how Cheeto isn’t being given “grace” - Luckily she’s discharging this afternoon so we don’t have to deal with her any longer. (Also grace for WHAT? Being an a-hole?)

Dude. I'm Pissed. youtube.com/shorts/zBYoY...

Now she’s going on with the nurse about how wonderful she thinks he is — ugh. Idiotic idiotic I want to scream at this woman and the nurse but can’t.

Christ on a cracker he’s rambling about how you USED to be able to say “she was a beautiful young girl” and now you can’t so he won’t say it but “she was - a beautiful young girl” Oh SHUT UP. My mom’s Magat room mate can stuff it.
