This is sobering. I’m dad to three teens. Not sure I see this with them. To any educators here, does this reflect reality?

Who could have foreseen this? apnews.com/article/stoc... US stocks tumble as companies and consumers worry about tariffs and Washington. Dow falls nearly 750

Good mornin’! How’s everyone else doing this fine Friday morning?

‼️ My post about the purported ICE-raiding-a-school video circulating this morning. ‼️

I’m from Chicago. Tell me I gotta call something a different name. I’ll tell you exactly where you can shove it.

A totally made-up story.

The people who voted for this are cheering for this. What little good they may have in them is completely overshadowed by their callous indifference to their own choice to help destroy my country and the lives of so many people working hard for my country.

Maybe the reporters asked the business leaders and farmers for whom they voted. Maybe not. No matter. Who these folks picked is clear by the way they pretend everything happening is okay. But their own words betray them. It’s easy to discern they know, with creeping dread, everything is not okay.

You cannot audit what you don’t understand. And every word out of this administration proves every day they don’t understand a damn thing.

This map shows what states get from NIH funding, along with the top universities receiving funding, and the economic benefits that funding brings. Trump voters are cheering. But it will damage our nation’s medical research, and harm local economies where the university is fhe largest employer.

Read this. Trump voters are cheering. Because they have no damn clue. This will decimate our country’s scientific research. And bonus? My kid’s heading to uni this fall, his dream? To be a researcher. File under: When happens when people vote for a rapist, felon and con artist and destroy us all.

Betrayed? By Trump? Nooooo .... Say it ain't so. File under: What happens when elect a convicted felon, rapist and con artist to be your president. File also under: FAFO (Note, place file in the FO section of the folder.)

From deep poverty as a child, to homelessness, to aerospace engineer at NASA. A single story of the women in STEM fields to be heralded. And it was. NASA was proud to highlight her accomplishments. Until today. This is wrong.

If you voted for Trump, you helped end international medical research conducted through USAID. In the middle of years-long clinical trials, doctors and researchers were recalled and patients, some with research drugs or devices in their bodies, abandoned. Some of these people will die. Nice job.

This task force is gonna start their work by investigating Trump and all his followers who’ve been harassing and sending death threats to the Christian bishop who pleaded for Christian mercy for the vulnerable, right? Right?

Shouldn’t someone ask Mike Johnson (R-Outer Space) if he’s comfortable with teenagers having full access to all his personal financial information and storing it on private servers with unknown security?

I got a question for y’all. With regard to appearance only, when the youth of America see the two political parties, which do you think they see as the one best representing them? And why?

What’s the big deal? ICE is targeting immigrants who are dangerous criminals and are found … … on school busses.

Imagine that Putin, or China, or North Korea, was able to install within the US Government a highly-effective, powerful mole who could easily make changes to the American government. Imagine if you were Putin. Tell me what would actions that mole could take that would please you most?

the professor in my real estate law class had to use the wayback machine for HUD pages on disability accommodations in housing for this week's unit on fair housing. grim.

File Under: What happens when you elect a convicted felon and known rapist who then allows his biggest campaign contributor to conduct unconstitutional and illegal work on our government without Congressional approval or judicial oversight.

Any advice on eliminating the billionaires' products from my life without massive disruption, loss of important memories, etc.? Please don't point out the irony of using a billionaire's product to ask this questions. I'm painfully aware of that already.

File under: What happens when you elect a convicted criminal who then installs a failed alcoholic businessman and white Christian nationalist in charge is the largest military in the world. Cross file under: FAFO

The more I learn ... What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fv<k?

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

It's scary that this seems to me to be the most logical and reasonable explanation.

Of all my sins, my sin of empathy is the biggest and by far the hardest one to shake.

Same, except for the 50-something balding dude. Although I don't think my photo is unflattering.

Yeah ... crazy.

I have no big following, but if you noticed I’m not posting, know that I’ve cut out 🦋 and 🧵 from my daily life. No more constant news consumption. My mental health matters more. Hyper-awareness breeds constant anger about things I can’t control. I’ll check in, but not instantly, not anymore. Peace.

No lies detected.
