Education is Resistance. Last night, I read to the kids about Freedom of the Press. Then read about this lawsuit against PBS & NPR www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n... We discussed what the Trump admin was trying to do with this lawsuit. The dangers of defunding public media/news sources. And their thoughts.

In last night's lesson, we learned about the three branches of government. I find myself tearing up as I read to my children about the constitution and government that's being challenged at every minute.

New books for us to read at the dinner table. All pocket constitutions sold out at B&N. I ventured into the children's section and found these gems. We'll be starting the constitution and immigration.

Document. Inform. Google News feeds propaganda from the administration. Today, I received this from the US Department of Education. Essentially, they are allowing for unfettered banning of books in school under the guise of "inappropriate" content with no validation. www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

This is new. Ever since Twitter became a dumpster fire, I've gone to my Google News app for headlines. Never before have I've seen PR from the White House. Today - the propaganda pushing began. I went to immediately ignore but thought better of it to keep documenting and know what's coming next.

So with it back up and the message that welcomes you back - I wonder. Are they trying to manipulate us with propaganda? Or Trump? A little bit of both.

Hard day - my 19yr dog passed away, TikTok went dark, and Monday the nightmare begins. And all I want to do is go on TikTok to see everyone's reaction to the ban and get a few laughs on my FYP to cheer me up.

This and putting arms over head or in victory stance. No longer protecting vital organs with crossed arms. Indicating to your brain - we are NOT in actual physical danger.

With Jan 6th behind us & Jan 20th ahead of us, I reflect. I remember the message from a co-worker. "They're storming the capitol." "Who?" I asked. So, confused. What does storming the capitol even mean. "MAGA" Confused no more. Stepping into the fog of 2025. Time to Survive and Thrive.

When twitter was twitter I had found a fun art and writing community that of course was obliterated when the platform was taken over. Excited to find a new community of like-minded artists. Going against my nature to isolate in this moment.
