I read the obituaries this morning and cried. None of the ones that I keep hoping to see were there.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

We now have a brain worm confirmed as head of HHS. The pronoun for RFK Jr is, therefore, IT. IT will be ruining that show. Welcome disease, epidemics, and death. Fuck Trump.

Sometimes the sheer volume of Frump’s shite is overwhelming. So I retreated into reading Gaelic poetry last night. It is not usually cheerful reading, but it helped to lighten my grim mood.

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.' A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."

Farmers spent money for improvements that was to be reimbursed by the government. Those funds are frozen. Screwed by the government that many of them voted for.

My conspiracy theory Melania is a Putin spy. If she leaves Trump, she gets a poison pill. If he divorces her, Putin releases the pee tapes. Created at the kitchen table, not in the loo. No evidence required.

120 of Musk’s Starlink satellites fell from the sky last month. Musk needs to crash and burn with them.

I just reported Elon Musk’s hacking of the government computers as a cyber crime on the FBI website. I may be in deep shit, but our country is in deep shit. Anyone who wants to do so can go to the FBI website and do so.

Any citizen of this country who does not feel physically violated by Elon Musk’s rape of our government is complicit in his actions.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

Trump and hif minions are rapidly moving to a government of white men, by white men, and for white men. There will be massive efforts in all the red and purple states to block voting among all groups that vote liberal. Our last chance to stop this will be the midterms.

I keep hoping for good news. This Frump presidency is not as bad as I feared. It is far, far worse than I thought it could be and I thought it would be pretty damn bad.

I try to read the news each day. I don’t get far before I feel despair. Trumpass is not as bad as I had feared. He is far, far worse than this old liberal could imagine. I’ll get past this because we have to keep fighting, I realize that. Only Bishop Budde and Bluesky give hope.
