You know what is superduper energizing in these dark times? Go to youtube and watch multiple recent town meetings. Democracy in work. It is BEAUTIFUL.

In the end, it's simply a question of "do you put your energy into compassion or do you focus on blame"

Great showing at a demonstration in our small town in utterly frigid temps with intense winds. So good to see so many caring people show up, even in these conditions!

A point to consider.

Dear Global Friends, We know how you feel. We get it. We don’t recognize these people holding power either. We don’t recognize them as legitimate expressions of our values or principles as Americans. Thank you for voicing your disapproval and opposition. Signed, A concerned American

Two other friends are terrified of losing their services. One had an organ transplant. If she doesn't have her medications, if there are disruptions...she would lose her life. The other has a degenerative disease. Without services, he too will lose his life. This stuff is serious. It's not a game.

I have talked down two people from committing suicide. The possibility of losing services, having life be even more difficult that it already is, was too much for both of them.

Please share your personal stories of consequences of this administrations actions (and non-actions). Share it here, share it everywhere. People learn from personal stories. People's hearts are touched. Please, everyone, share your stories!

after the overturning of roe, black infant mortality has spiked nearly 11% in states with abortion bans: www.reuters.com/world/us/inf...

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Chatgpt won't give me email addresses but sent me to their websites instead. It evaluated my ? about buddhist quote 'if you see the buddha, kill him', saying it doesn't allow violence. It then gave me the info needed. If Chatgpt can respond intelligently to problematic questions, so can fb, X...

Apparently it's US-AID that does health screening for people coming to U.S. from areas dealing with outbreaks. And of course the CDC would normally have its protocols. Uganda has ebola now. People traveling from Uganda are no longer screened coming into the U.S.

Please share. Let's make this happen. Idea for an Informational Website on the Impact of 47 ​Please create a website where users (​o​r just admins) can share detailed, location-specific information on how 47 is negatively affecting their states, towns, and neighborhoods.

Let's create a site where each state posts specific info on how they are negatively impacted by 47. Calif. would post the facts about the water release -devastating all the (republican) farmers, and our food systems. Kansas -the tuberculosis outbreak with no CDC, etc. Etc. Let's make this personal.

Becca Ballint! You go! Proud of Vermont!

AMA updates now that we can't go to CDC, etc.

In the US city of Cincinnati in Ohio, armed Nazis decided to hang flags over an overpass, they were promptly removed by locals who chased them away and burned the Nazi flags. The police tried to protect the Nazis.

Oops 😬

Trump and Musk are ending the world as we know it. Their harms will be felt in every country, everywhere. I feel for us all.

Democracy is being pulled apart at its seams. This breaks my heart. That's it. I just needed to say it.

DOGEbags. Term thanks to one of the fine guys at Pod Save America.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Yes, we are in Hell, Dorothy. All of us. "Kansas is experiencing one of the largest tuberculosis (TB) outbreaks ever recorded in the US, as public health powers at the state and federal level have been greatly curtailed".

Out of the box thinking... Let it flow. Let's see where it takes us.

Maybe it's time to simply shut off electricity to DC and a few other places. Give us some time to organize....

I am reminding all of us to breathe. Seriously, every now and then just take in a slow deep breath.

I In 2019, Mexico sent 15,000 troops to the border, and sent another 10,000 in 2021 to help with migration. In 2022, Mexico agreed to invest $1.5 billion to help Joe Biden upgrade the border, and in 2023 implemented 15 administrative actions to assist in America’s deportation of migrants.

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

This was so predictable. The market tanked this morning, Trump got scared, Mexico gave him nothing Biden didn't get last year and he caved like every bully when someone (in this case, the markets) stands up to him.

Anti-ICE protesters in California have shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles marching towards City Hall.

Musk. Coup. Right now. Sunday, Feb 2. Look it up. Attend Indivisible tonight. Time for action or goodbye to democracy. It's that simple.

I have no faith in the present supreme court, of course, but why are we not in front of the supreme court right now having them declare all of this illegal? I don't understand. There is so much I don't understand right now.....

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.
