Supporting only local businesses today… coffee at Commons while analyzing population data. Nerds need good coffee! #SWOTAnalysis #economicblackout #boycott #resist

Grateful for a reprieve on this one. They’re kids, for goodness sake. We aren’t monsters. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #immigration

Very disturbed that @nbcnews.com and @abcnewsgo.bsky.social didn’t cover the protests today. Thousands of people at the US Capitol and rolling protests in all 50 states. It’s all over social media but nary a peep on mainstream national news. The free press needs to act like it while they still can.

Noon EST. Turned on the news. Not a single network is covering the nationwide protests. Are they happening? Who knows?! What a mess we are in.

Easy like Sunday morning… Ditching church and feeding my soul in other ways - like making a Greek omelet and a cafe at lait.

Happy birthday, Arizona! I miss you.

How long is it going to take Congress to realize that they’re fighting the wrong fight? The fight right now isn’t Republicans vs Democrats. It’s the Executive Branch vs the rest of us. #coup #doge

God bless the NTSB and the work they do. So hard, so important. Todd Inman has clearly not slept much in the last 48 hours. He deserves grace.

Watching the Trump press conference on my lunch break. It started appropriately: moment of silence and statement that when things like this happen our differences fade and we mourn together as one. And then the wheels fell off. It’s been increasingly unhinged and asinine for a half hour now. Sigh.

My heart goes out to all those connected to tonight’s #planecrash. Ending up in the Potomac is an ever-present fear every time I fly into DCA. So terribly sad to see it actually happen.

It is delightfully warm today. My twins are off school for end of quarter, and my son bounced out the door to have lunch w friends. Trans joy is a radical act.

I’m not really a football person but am watching the game because the town has gone #Commanders crazy, and man do we need something to be happy about right now.

This caused chaos in schools across the country today, but especially in Chicagoland. My heart goes out to scared kids. My thanks to the warrior teachers helping undocumented parents find alternate people to get their kiddos to and from school. No words suffice for the depth of my anger.

2025 motto (stolen from a colleague): I shall be both defiantly joyful and joyfully defiant.

I met a bank robber today. No joke. Fascinating conversation about the hurdles ex-cons face when trying to rebuild a life. #adventuresincommuting #wmata

“Stay angry, little Meg,” Mrs Whatsit whispered. “You will need all your anger now.”

My soup tonight was bomb. A+ What was your moment of joy on this difficult day?

I’m spending the day warm and cozy with my family, nursing a bad head cold, not turning on the TV, coloring coloring books with swear words in them. How are you spending this day?

Hot take: When you post something innocent on TikTok, you’re actually giving foreign governments access to lots of info about us that goes way further than you think it does when it’s multiplied by billions of other Americans doing the same thing. Data warfare is real. www.rand.org/pubs/comment...

It’s so cold my dog is hiding his nose. Me too, buddy. Me too. *turns on the kettle*

Today is the birthday of two people who are special to me. I dedicated my beautiful latte to them, in honor of the beauty they bring to my life. What was your moment of beauty or joy today?

Hey hi and howdy, friends! I don’t know yet what I want this account to be. I do know that Facebook is basically unusable now, since you can’t find your friends through the forest of ads and stuff you never signed up for. I miss social media connecting me to friends. 1/
