So many people saying "don't despair, take action". At almost 75 years of age, I can assure you, most of my adult life was action. Street theater, marching, showing up, political performance with Bread and Puppet, calling, writing, from Stonewall to the first Womans March. 2024 now, so is despair.

Just a few more months, I can see her again. Right now she is still asleep under 3 ft of snow in the front garden. I guess you could call it a long distance relationship, in a way.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Robber baron Elon Musk squandered approx $40 million on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful! 🏈USAID would’ve spent $40M on purchasing life-saving HIV treatment from USA pharmaceutical companies to keep 1,060,000 million people alive for 1 year! Tell Congress #saveforeignaid & #standwithUSAID!

Millions of U.S. acres are sown and harvested for USAID. Farmers have had contracts for decades, and stand to get hit hard, real hard, with this freeze, a lot more than drought or, real freezes. The commodities markets for US grown food already is challenged, I bet China is so happy to step up.

Time to start visiting christian nationalist forums and spreading the word that Elon is indeed the anti Christ, that nueralink is the mark of the beast, and he intends to chip everyone so that they will be able to participate in the transhuman great awakening. We can do Psyops too, it's time.

During Trump's first term, some EPA scientists said managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. In some cases, they said, the managers deleted the information themselves. (Published Sept. 2024)

Imbolc 2025. May Saint Brigid keep your fires alive, the sun is false this time of year, it gives light, but no warmth, but we are not alone. Returning to the womb is not an option, we do keep the flame kindled with our intentions, do not let it go out, even if we are shivering and afraid.

Just wait. Very soon there will be caravans of desperate people turning up at the border, pleading to be let in, eager to escape the tyranny, persecution and fascism of their failing country. But Mexico and Canada might not let them in.

It is the 1st day of Black History month. White supremacists don’t want us thinking about it, but we should think about it anyway because it makes us dig deeper & inspires-recognizing both the mistakes & accomplishments of the past is how we learn, & honor greatness. www.history.com/topics/black...

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.
