Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Good day in Port Angeles, WA - went to the “Not My President Day” March in my little city of 20,000 people. I found it hard not to cry. SO many people driving by, honking their horns in support! Take your hope and good feelings wherever you can find them. This is only the beginning.

Don’t you just love how the people who wanted school open during the pandemic think we don’t need a Department of Education?

I joined Bluesky for many reasons. One was because I was tired of random men telling me they want to know me, or that I’m pretty, or I should smile more… I’m almost 70, married, and don’t need to hear this. Talk to me about politics, gardening, amusing things, movies, or books, but otherwise, STFU.

You can go here, enter your zip code to find your representative and ask them where and when their Town Hall will be held. They have been told by their leader, Hakeem Jeffries, to hold a Town Hall. Do it today if you can, please! It’s important and easy!

The senate switchboard is here: (202) 224-3121. Just call, say the name of your Senator and leave a message. You don’t have to say anything brilliant or clever. Just say “stop Trump and get Elon Musk out of our government.” Please call!

Why not defy every action he takes that is illegal by simply saying “no”? Or scramble the employee numbers of the FBI employees he’s going after, to hide their identities. He can’t arrest every gov employee. He can’t fire people he can’t identify.

A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going: If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes? And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?

Crockett: “I’m tired of the white tears. If you’re competent you’re not concerned. When you compare me to Greene/Boebert there’s no comparison… The only ppl crying are mediocre white boys beaten out by people that had to work much harder.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFp8K0M...

A fascist state: authoritarian rule led by a powerful leader, with strict control over opposition and a focus on nationalism. An oligarchy: power is held by a small, elite group for corrupt or selfish purposes. A kakistocracy, defined as government by the worst people. We have all three.

Good morning. Learning to use Bluesky. I thought I’d post one of my favorite photos.
