Another #airline event, luckily this one without injuries or damage but imagine how scary that would have been for the pilots and the passengers. These events are happening at an increasing rate and indicate that the chaos of the #fascist 's government is doing real damage.

The reckless Republican budget will be debated on the House floor today. It represents the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. Children, families, seniors, hospitals and nursing homes will be devastated. House Democrats are a Hard NO.

The #fascist (I have zero qualms giving him that tag) has his ego driven man boy #Musk trashing the #USgovernment workers while the other minions in his #regime (not administration) are desperately trying to protect their smaller serfdoms.

Good Morning!!! Yesterday I was 7th grade #substitute. A girl asked “I don’t want to be rude, but are you #gay?” I chose honesty and then she surprised me with “Congratulations and I am bi”. Middle school is always full of unknowable reactions. My affirmation is Serving others, I am served.

The #fascist #weakman leans on #Musk to do some of the dirty work. Did you know that Musk is a Canadian citizen through his mother, who is from Saskatchewan’s capital, Regina? Born and raised in #apartheid #SouthAfrica and now hellbent to destroy people’s lives in cruel ways.

Three years in. Ukraine stands strong. Slava Ukraini.

Good Morning!!! The weather has certainly shifted here in #PalmSprings towards bright and hot (er). The predicted high is 83! Nevertheless, I feel lonely here because friendships are elusive. My #affirmation This #loneliness I feel is temporary.

Who is responsible for this? 🤣

#Elon sending an email to each federal worker but then being contradicted by the #fascist ‘s own department heads smells of competing egos and overreach. I hope it broils into an outright war between these factions. #chaos #hateful #wannabe

Good morning!!! Yesterday we met with a lawyer to draw up a new trust, in part driven by the likelihood that #SCOTUS and others are planning to invalidate our marriage. Such are the times we are living. My #affirmation is Leave what no longer serves me in the past.

We shall never forget #fascist #DonOLD #traitorinchief

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Good Morning!!! Yesterday I was the #substitute in a middle school resource specialist class where I had various group of students during the day. I loved the kids and the job. Taught about Ancient Greece. My #affirmation is Remember the #successes over the setbacks.

📉📉📉

The #fascist #POS currently occupying the #WhiteHouse likes to muddle and distort facts to his apparent advantage. And he is stealing away money, dignity, and democratic safeguards from the US. I never really understood how much our country is really a house of cards.

The very idea that the #fascist and #goons would promote #deaththreats against congress people voting against the #narcist agenda is revolting. It is being reported that senators who indicated doubt on some cabinet choices received credible threats. #nazi #brownshirts #fascism

Good Morning!!! Yesterday I decided that I would buy a new commuter #bike because my other one is a junker that is destroying my back. I always fight an internal struggle to spend $$$. Riding it home was heavenly. My affirmation I will take care of my body and mind.

hell yes

It is illegal for the #fascist to take over the #USPS. It requires an act of #Congress and be huge blow for the US rural areas, many which are #Republican. The USPS doesn't deliver much that I need since most communication is digital. But I #vote by mail. This is not only about me and my needs.

Nothing to miss about this guy AND he set up the board for the anti democracy movement we are living today. If he still has thoughts in his head after all his freezing up moments, I wonder (doubt) if he has any regrets.

Always will be #GulfofMexico Never will the #fascist change this.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Egg prices are up to $7.99/dozen. Rough.

I just subscribed to 5 Calls Newsletter! I called my reps to demand public condemnation of #DOGE and the wannabe president #Musk . Simple to use. #5Calls buttondown.com/5calls

#SCOTUS #Corrupt

The #fascist and #feloninchief has bullied congress to such an extent that there is no real division of power and no real competition of ideas. #DonOLD has always seemed weak and ridiculous and horrible, but his lack of shame has given him tremendous leverage. #piginchief #FOTUS

#GoodMorning !!! Yesterday I subbed in a special middle school class for behaviorally problematic kids. 1 kid kept yelling at me “fucking #f*ggot” and stole my phone (I got it back eventually). My #affirmation is: Let it all roll off and seek out beauty in the mundane. (Random photo with hubbie)

Vanity Fair: In private, Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions “They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,”a fmr member of Trump’s 1st administration said

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Russia invaded Ukraine and the only viable peace plan involves the Russian invaders getting out of Ukraine. Slava Ukraini !!!

Zelensky of #Ukraine has recently named a “disinformation bubble” regarding the war in Ukraine. The #fascist repeats the #Putin lies. Time for a little “BFO” (Blinding Flash of the Obvious): Putin launched the war in Ukraine with an unprovoked invasion. Simple but important fact.

#USpostmaster to step down months after reporting billions in losses #DeJoy was part of the whole election fiasco that helped push the fascist into office by purposefully destroying the #USPostal service. And now a new lackey can be assigned to seal the coffin.

The #fascist said about #Ukraine: You should have never started it," he said (referring to the war instigated by #Putin This is blatantly untrue. It is part of #fascism ‘s playbook to distort reality and take up the air in a room with #scapegoating #evil #orwell #traitorinchief

Zelenskyy: Trump is living in a “disinformation space”
