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.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

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.

Researching ancient curses so that everyone who voted yes on RFKjr will from now, talk like a kazoo is embedded in their throat.

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.

Unions representing federal workers sued the Treasury Department and its head, Scott Bessent, on Monday in an effort to block Elon Musk and his team from accessing the federal payment system.

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.

Print this one out and put it on your refrigerator

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)

This is how it's done 🤛 #FightingFascism #DoingSomething 🌊 @elifox.bsky.social is in DC and will be outside the Treasury tomorrow morning. If you're in DC consider joining her. Follow her for live video feed. She has a couple posted from her arrival today.

BREAKING: I’m hearing from several VA employees that they have been locked out of VATAS - thats how employees request leave - like administrative leave to file EEO complaints. It also shows your work schedule and OT. If this has happened to you, please reach out using the contact info in my bio.

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.

This is the 4th ring of hell. Limbo was nicer. US allies are heartbroken,they will be former allies. I think he is walking us toward China instead of away from it., but people will not see that, they'll call Dems commies instead. Donald wants to play globalist thug,and, he's crazy. 4th ring y'all.

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.

🚨🚨🚨 If you haven’t been paying attention, it’s time. They are gutting our federal government. These are the people who keep us safe- Who protect airways, railways, water, inspect our food, manage our healthcare, protect us, and on and on. 🚨THIS IS PROJECT 2025! 🚨A warning from the inside: ⬇️
