Rainy night in the garden.

What in the fresh hell

This is a must read article by @nickhanauer.bsky.social

"Still, Trump’s leadership team appears to eclipse the wealth of any previous Cabinet going back decades. Of 21 Cabinet members, seven reported holding at least $10 million in assets, and some are even billionaires."

Prepare your pearls for clutching, you aren’t going to believe this: “Trump staffed his Cabinet with wealthy advisers. Some stand to gain even more from recent policy shifts” www.cnn.com/2025/04/24/p...

At least 140,000 children and 67,000 adults have died as a result of Musk, the orange, and Rubio terminating USAID support to healthcare and food aid. The lag effects of HIV/AIDs, TB and malnutrition will soon start increasing the toll more rapidly.

Excellent thread, especially for those of us in essay season:

Seriously. Where are the stories about the women and children? Where are they really?

Important reminder: When you lift up children, you elevate the future. Their future. Your future. The world’s future.

This is Mojo. He's nervous around new people, so his human put out a bucket of balls to help him make friends with all his new neighbors. Safe to say everyone loves it. 14/10

So true.

Oh my GOD.

This one goes out in honor of due process…. A very important constitutional right 🌊 🌊

Any of the Nat Geo, History or Discovery channel programming make the jump to this site? I would like to follow them, if anyone has found them and can share! 😁 Thank you!

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

All corporations be on notice. I’m not kidding, either. Every brand I’ve been loyal to over the decades of feeding myself and my family, doing laundry, etc, will not see another penny from me.

Trump has announced his new plan for autogenocide, he will now proceed to make medication far more expensive, which will lead to millions of deaths. "We're gonna tariff our pharmaceuticals ... we're going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals." #3E

What is going to keep American companies from matching the price of products coming in with tariffs? “They just won’t, out of the goodness of their heart,” is probably a “no.”

A friend just sent me this:

Atlanta.

Atlanta protests:

Atl:

Atlanta right now:

Fellow pollen allergy sufferers: Guess where Flonase is manufactured. Canada.

This isn’t making me “buy American.” I already did that everywhere I could. This is making me NOT buy from corporations who encouraged and support this economic nightmare. Looking at you, P&G, PepsiCo, General Mills, Keebler (Ferrero), Kellogg, etc, etc…

I usually spend a couple hundred $ on the Thursday before spring break starts. Lawn toys, outside games, board games, fun activities for a spring staycation. Not. A. Single. Penny. Beyond food necessities. And none of those necessitates will be carrying brand names.

Hold onto your butts.

My kid (16) is so old fashioned. She just text me, “if you are going to the grocery store, I need more yogurt.” Does it count as a “grocery store” if I only buy yogurt and don’t put it in a bag?

This is bad for the nation. This is bad for Georgia. This is bad for Atlanta. In fact, I can’t think of anyone this benefits…

Forgive all the people of metro Atlanta today for any typos. We are too busy sneezing to function properly.

Don’t breathe in outside, y’all.

Anyone able to explain to me what this has to do with the price of eggs or healthcare for my veteran father?

Sadly, this is all true.

Watch this, Trae’s right, y’all. The only thing I would respectfully add is they ALL have to go. Reaching out for donations so they can sell us back our democracy is a hard no. Time for an entire new system.

The way forward: We come for all of it.

There is a better way forward, y’all.
