@cascade.org Nice Chilly Hilly this year. Didn't get any rain between 8:45 and 12:00

What was that about making a place for your own joy, even when everything is blowing up?

@schumer.senate.gov please do something!

@schumer.senate.gov Be louder! People are scared! We need rallies, lots of noise from leadership on social media. Make noise! Reassure us you will stop the pirates!

Where is Democratic Leadership? Are they going to blockade all current business until Musk's removal? The law is on their side.

Dear US Gov't employees, Your oath is to the constitution, not to any person, or any party. And certainly not to a corporate pirate. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

@murray.senate.gov Dear Senator Murray, Elon Musk is a tremendous threat to our country. As I write I learn more and more about his dangerous and illegal actions at the FBI, our OMB and Treasury Department. Please demand that the Senate take action to remove him! Thank you!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

From NTEU: DO NOT SIGN DEFERRED RESIGNATION Make no mistake: this email is designed to entice or scare you into resigning from the federal government. We are reviewing the email closely and will have more information tomorrow. However, we strongly urge you not to resign in response to this email.

I have read the email from OPM. It is not what has been reported. IT IS NOT A BUY OUT. It is an exemption from the partially unenforceable return to the office EO until end of the Fiscal Year. You may have to work every single workday until the end of the FY. No guarantees. All discretionary.

This is not a buyout! It's an option to be allowed to work remotely if you agree to leave in Sept 2025. Don't take it! apnews.com/article/trum...

That clever Republican majority. Giving T all the rope he needs to--hold on...what is the strategy?

Many people here and elsewhere have asked for advice on how to cope in these difficult times when we have a vindictive toddler for president. To be honest, it was challenging to be both encouraging *and* sincere, but I did my best. youtu.be/IN_EUcR48Sc

www.newsweek.com/donald-trump... Hey, Newsweek. Please fact-check. Tell your readers the IRS does not have 90,000 "agents" to send to the borders.

Cheers me up: youtu.be/qr0f6t2UbOo?...

@womensmarchsea.bsky.social Great day for a march!

Audio book recommendations for long drive? Preferably something about ancient history.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m very grateful for the gift of eternal life,” he said. “But an eternity without Trump is the greatest gift of all.”

How does Steve Bannon define "evil person?"
