Thank you to Senate Democrats for unifying in opposition to Republicans’ scheme to punish working families. Democrats played procedural hardball and spent hours on the floor debating overnight, filing close to 100 amendments and forcing votes on 23 of them.

Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

So, I wanted to know how many people have lost their jobs in Gov't because of DOGE. The number is murky because the gov't isn't tracking it (why would that be important?) and so many firings have been rescinded. The admin is incompetent, ignorant, slipshod, and uncaring. apnews.com/article/doge...

Flurry of morning reposts over. But I had a thought, and maybe some of y'all have ideas here: I see a lot of posts about how community is how we get through this and how we fight this. Does anyone have any suggestions for introverts? I want to help, but all the suggestions feel VERY social.

I have a similar printout to Marc's of his grandfather. My grandmother and her 5-year-old son (my uncle) fled Hungary at the end of 1939, just in time. I don't know what happened to the rest of her family. Some day, when Hungary isn't ruled by a tyrant, I hope to go there and find out.
