After listening to @maddow.msnbc.com clip about Trump's recent polling numbers, I need an election audit. It's sus he was underwater in polling at his inauguration, yet he won. Then the comments Trump made about Elon "knowing the voting machines really well". Is it possible this election was rigged?

Time traveling tonight, back to elementary school. I asked my mom, "If I told you that there was a monster, would you believe me?" in an earnest voice. It's about trust. Tonight, I asked my husband, "If I say it's time to go, can you trust me enough to pack up and leave." He trusts me. #empath

I'm trying to hold space for those who likely didn't know what they voted for. If I don't, then those people might be lost forever and become the cogs in American fascism. Remember, there is a news blackout on right-wing media. This is a cult they can still leave if loved ones don't give up on them.

@mcuban.bsky.social can you share please? I'm not seeing this pop on a simple Google search or even widely shared here. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

Watching Inglorious Basterds... For inspiration. Maybe if we can't all agree that Musk rat and Dump are criminals, we should at least agree that we all hate cry-baby Nazis. #FAFO

Make it make sense. How do you lower property taxes, divert precious funding from public schools to a private school voucher program, AND promise a path towards a six figure income for public school teachers? The math is not math-ing. www.texastribune.org/2025/02/02/g...

But we don't deserve anything we don't fight for. We can't let them win.

maybe we take back the "Don't Tread on Me" flag. If you're not actually willing to speak out, to fight tyranny, to defend the Republic, don't fly this flag. As a mom, I have to fight. I'm NOT going to go quietly into the night. Our kids deserve better. We deserve better.

But that's not enough. Not even close. Where is the fight? The passion for defending democracy? For shutting out fascists and the ultra wealthy from government power? Where are y'all? Maybe the rational people who care about democracy, who are willing to do something about it,

The "Don't Tread on Me" flag flyers? The ones who didn't trust the government and fought so hard against gun control in order to be armed against a tyrannical government? Where are y'all?! I've seen a neighbor who was very proudly displaying Trump flags all over his property remove them this week.

I'm a student of history and became obsessed as a child with how the Holocaust could happen. And I'm seeing frightening similarities. With all this happening, with even more government "intervention" every damn day, where are the conservatives who are for small government?

I thank God every day that my entire immediate family was born in this country, but with birthright citizenship on the chopping block, that leaves the door open for other fascist policies to enter. It's only the first step to removal of anyone who is not Caucasian and fits into the "mold".

DEI (which removes common roadblocks for those who are not white, young able-bodied, hetero, men, ECT) is disappearing from corporations. Immigrants are being deported for no just cause (legally, not having documentation is NOT just cause.

I'm a mom to a toddler in Texas and also a BIPOC. I'm worried for whatever comes tomorrow and every day comes with more saddening news. Our public education system is being dismantled here.
