If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

1. If you want hope in this dark moment, listen to chant of "no more war" that broke out in the very large crowd that came out to hear Bernie Sanders in Tulsa, Oklahoma. There is only one off-ramp from Trump's mad rush to war: the quick mobilization of an anti-war opposition. The people are ready.

If it comforts anyone else, we just had a big ol’ worldwide demonstration that our country and our country’s military hold a majority opinion that this guy sucks and his orders suck and his hair sucks so …. I don’t know. I don’t know where the conclusion is to that.

The last time we went through this I was unmedicated and miserable in southern Ohio, and the time before that I was a kid. Now I’m a medicated, reasonably stable (as much as any of us are) adult and I’m not sure if that’s going to make living through this any better. >.<

Considering what they’re doing to the social safety net programs a lot of enlisted and veterans depend on now is a particularly, grossly bad time to sign up. Don’t do it.

I'm not going to do a global political analysis right now. I am going to tell you that I'm just old enough to remember the last time we had this same stupid fucking war, and tell anyone under 30: Do not enlist in the military. They will ruin your life and they do not care. Please don't do it.

Unsolicited PSA: Heat amplifies allergic reactions. If you have a baby starting solids, push allergen introduction back until after the heat dome. If you have an allergy kid during oral immunotherapy, consider swapping to illness protocol or doing prolonged air conditioned pre/post rest period.

I did in fact go with that. Very proud of myself for sticking to name calling and not anything that could remotely be considered a threat. Lots of “what the FUCK” though.

Trying to come up with something to tell my Senators beyond “Hello, yes, what the fuck are y’all playing at over there. Get your fucking thumbs out of your asses and impeach this guy out of office before he gets us all killed.” (I may just give up and call with that.)

Biologists have confirmed the ‘rediscovery’ of Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna, one of the sole living representatives of the monotreme lineage that diverged from therians (marsupials and placental mammals) approximately 200 million years ago. buff.ly/x2M3ctL #ShareGoodNewsToo

Begging any Dem to make all this shit front page news. All of it. This is clearly secret police shit. And considering they're rounding up citizens, this is the only metric they're using now. If you can't win this fight with your constituents, please quit.

People just need to understand that "healthcare"/medicine is not an instant solve for the complexities of being disabled in an ableist society. Crip tax is real, even with universal healthcare. Over 12K a year extra to live. in a country with so-called universal healthcare Have a source with data

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago. What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored. Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

Some more parts of the Big Beautiful Bill just got killed by the Senate parliamentarian, and 1 is big: matching funds from states for SNAP, meant to escalate based on payment error rates. This was I believe the biggest funding cut for SNAP in the bill. SNAP eligibility for undocumenteds is also out.

I’ve been transferring patterns from the tiny paper envelopes to bigger manila envelopes for about two, three evenings now. Cut the paper envelope in half and tape the front to the front and the back to the back. I think I’m about to run out of tape for the third time. SO MANY PATTERNS.

Getting a comment from a friend about wanting to see more of characters from one of my stories turned what was intended to be a one-and-done into an anthology that's getting the next installment put up on AO3 in about a week or so. So yeah, don't underestimate what a positive comment can do.

Am I surprised to be blindsided after a big win? Honestly? No. One, this is a third strike situation, and two despite all evidence to the contrary, I've been doing my best to prepare without being on the edge, ALL the time. My precarious living sitation just got tipped into a live volcano. HELP.

no but like for real can we get some big tattooed left bros who work out a lot and own face masks to just rock up one day like they’re trying to get in on a pickup raid and then either totally sabotage it or lurk around until the feds let their guard down and then get everyone’s names and faces

Yeah, part of this is this is what the fifth generation of neoliberal acolytes. The problem is they are too late in the hype cycle of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism already trimmed all the “fat” in the administrative state three generations ago.
