Wild feeling watching women’s bball and realizing that one of the seniors being honored is your ex’s niece. Wow time flies.

Reporter: If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say? Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Fuck off.

I love seeing videos of deep red Congressional members getting stumped at town halls. This is the energy I would bring if I lived in a district that was moveable and I’m so glad those people are doing it! Nice to have hope!

Been loving Becky Chambers’ books and just read the Acknowledgments for the second Monk and Robot and realized she’s married to a woman. I love her even more! Nothing better than supporting queer female authors.

Even more glad I use Apple Maps.

Reposting for alt text and account In case you’re unaware the American Medical Associations has a YouTube page, they are doing daily updates on bird flu and other out breaks since the CDC can not youtube.com/@americanmed...

Costco tells anti-DEI activists to shove it and their stock is skyrocketing.

Taxes filed. Hopefully there’s still enough competent people over there that I get my refund in a timely manner.

I need Americans to hate this administration the way Kendrick hates Drake so they can actually stand a chance of surviving

For myself to find easier when I need it.

ICYMI: After OMB Director Nominee Vought's hearing, I submitted some questions for the record which he is required to answer under oath. While he dodged many of our questions in the hearing and in other responses to QFRs, he used this one to show his true colors.

Speaking of my love for busses, someone tapped me right before I got off right now to tell me “have a good day miss” nothing creepy just sending nice energy. Will work to pass this along.

Don’t they dare come for my busses and trains! I’ll be on every bus trying to keep immigrants safe. Ughhhhh.

Guantanamo should be shut down. Not used as a concentration camp. Clearly we haven’t learned our lesson from WWII and the horrible things we did to Japanese Americans.

Thanks to those who pointed me to the right info! I called 425-313-8100 and spoke to a person (!!) who thanked me for my feedback and forwarded me to the place where she said they are logging those calls. I spoke to another actual person who loggedme; script in next post for other shy folks.

Listening to Janelle Monae’s album Dirty Computer is giving me life in these times and helping me stay strong. We will fight for our America.

PSA: Take a break from the doom scrolling. One of the most important things you can do today is CALL your elected officials and voice your concerns. Every call matters as staff keep count of how many care about an issue, which gives officials justification to speak up and fight.

Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause: "the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."

Louder. My friend works on clinical trials for kids with cancer and has already seen impacts. What happened to respecting life?

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

There’s a bunch more links in the thread so let’s support and spread the love!

Had a good chat with my therapist today about surviving the next fours. I doubt it will be the last.

We must protect each other, especially those of us with privilege and power if any kind.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

We cannot let this go quietly into the night. We must share all of these things with our neighbors who aren’t reading the news.

Hope this enlightens others as much as it did for me. I’ve always hated an HOA for just being annoying but now how do we get rid of them all.

Most videos only show the first salute. He did it twice. How else would you describe this:
