Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

I adore Lwaxana but Deanna is so relatable

It's weird because the quietest way to do good would have been to simply vote Democrat and avoid USAID getting cut off in the first place. (alt text for context)
