If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

I've saved this week's eps of #KillMySin for a weekend binge. Meanwhile I watched #EverlastingLonging (because of #SongWeilong's masculine gorgeousness!) It was meh. Plot holes, disliked the FL character and the campy, OTT "comedic relief." (Hint: not all writers/directors can pull off a #JoyOfLife)

In case you were wondering!

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

We are watching this play out in real time. I don’t know that it can be stopped.

Media are missing this if they don't include it. Yes, Judge Chutkan just denied temporary restraining order in New Mexico v Musk. But judge signals plaintiffs have the better argument when this reaches the merits: That Elon Musk is exercising power in violation of Appointments Clause. ⬇️Key para⬇️

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

I’m absolutely enthralled by Cdrama #KillMySins. Such a well written, well acted, well directed drama! I binged all 20 episodes available on #YouKu. Cant wait for more episodes to drop.

Awesome of her. I'm sending this to my friend who hasn't yet sold his Tesla, which he bought during the pandemic. Time to get rid of it.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts issues the fourth nationwide temporary block on Trump’s executive order attempting to limit birthright citizenship. Order: https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/144-2025-02-13-Order-granting-motions-for-preliminary-injunction.pdf

Senator Brian Schatz: "If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers. That is not how the American system of government works."

I finally found a word that describes my entire life, from childhood on! 💕

Same thing for Atlanta. We used to go and watch the shows and there were always trans women and drag queens in the ladies room. Sweet and friendly.

The ignorance would be amusing if this dumb fake hillbilly wasn’t 2nd in line to be POTUS.

#GDRAGON releases the album tracklist for #Übermensch, which will be out on Feb. 25th. 💕🐉

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Living in a Blue state always gives a soul hope.

And stop saying "we voted for" this. Trump did not run on giving Elon Musk universal power to decide how my tax dollars were spent. Trump did not run on starting a trade war with Canada, invading Greenland, or the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. No one vote for this.

Excellent!

Go Canada! (Sung, of course, to the tune of Oh Canada!)

I better stop saying to people “how stupid can you be?” They’re starting to take it as a challenge

Happy Lunar New Year! Year of the Snake!

Elon gives a Nazi salute at the inauguration and US media ignores/excuses it. Go BBC.

Episcopal Bishop of Washington Mariann Budde is openly criticizing Trump's policies in her inaugural prayer service sermon right now. Says: “There are gay, lesbian and transgender children …who fear for their lives" and “Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger.”
