Worst. Episode. EVER.

I'm ready.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

Former Republican operative Stuart Stevens: “When I see the sexual orientation hate come out of the Republican party under the pretext of just being anti-Trans, I am very tempted to name the Republican operatives and elected officials who are closeted gays. It’s not a short list.”

Three people have had the courage to stand up to Trump: Claudia Sheinbaum, Bishop Mariann Budde, and now Danielle Sassoon. Hmm, what do they have in common?

This week, approximately 200,000 federal workers have been let go.

Oh Lord…

Taking a little tour of the State Capital building in Denver. What a beautiful building! Protest starts at non.

Government civil servants threatened with US marshals. Why? Bc they were defending classified information and security systems from being accessed by Musk’s flying monkeys. Illegal AF.

It's not just USAID. We're monitoring thousands of US government websites, and are tracking the ones that have gone offline so far today www.wired.com/story/us-gov...

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

This is such a massive violation of basic privacy rights, and every elected Democrat in Congress should be screaming about the illegality of it and demanding accountability. apnews.com/article/dona...

This is criminal racketeering, by executive order.

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost. www.latimes.com/environment/...

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Day 7 of the Second Resistance. 646 days until the Midterms. Today I looked at the blue sky and enjoyed being in Colorado. And I rested. Tomorrow I will do things again.

Day 6 of the Second Resistance. 647 days to Midterm Elections. Creating a collection of speculative fiction short stories to envision a new culture. Working title: Tales From a Grateful Earth. First four stories: Council Chairs, Tender, Soup Woman, The Garden Continent. Goal: 12 stories.

It's never too late MAGAs! This is the lone J6er who refused a pardon because, "it would be an insult to the Capital Police". “I lost my critical thinking,” she said, reflecting on her involvement in the riot and the “Stop the Steal” movement. “Now I know it was a cult, and I was in a cult.” Bravo!

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

This Congresswoman is from New Mexico.

Quite a week at DOJ, and were just getting started. Next week brings the Kash Patel confirmation hearings. It’s like when the Death Eaters took over Hogwarts. 😱 I’ll discuss at 11 pm ET on MSNBC.

Day 5 of the Second Resistance. 647 days until the Midterms. Today I sent a postcard of encouragement to Rev. Budde, and members of our household made a list of emergency contacts in case any of us gets detained or hurt. Also began looking for a local lawyer.

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

This is nice. Be nice if it was passed around 💙🕊️ Send her a post card. 💕

Day 4 of the Second Resistance. 649 days to the Midterm elections. Started reading "Architects of abundance: indigenous regenerative food and land management systems and the excavation of hidden history" by Lyla June Johnston. Research for a series of short stories - visions of a healed earth.

Oh geez, don't mess with the Episcopals! Thay have the Cathedral of St John the Divine. IYKYK www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Day 3 of the Second Resistance. SAVING THE WORLD WITH SOUP. Tues nite soup club for Sky House denizens, friends and neighbors. Goal is nutrition for teachers and real human interaction to combat the tech takeover.

WISCONSIN FRIENDS!!!! This is the next thing we have to do! Let's elect Judge Crawford for Wisconsin!

Rebecca Solnit: “They want you to feel powerless and surrender and let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.”

With hanging on to.

Greetings. It is Day 2 of the Second Resistance. 651 days until Midterm elections. I pledge to do something EVERY DAY to support Democracy and resist the oligarchs, even though those actions may be small. Today I am signing off Facebook and moving here to Blue Sky. Jan. 21, 2025
