Don’t be a nice person…

My husband reminded me of this, something people from the tristate area have known for decades. Think more people will believe it yet?

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

This is repulsive and dangerous and he knows exactly what he’s doing. It can't be ignored. It must be condemned without equivocation. Never Again isn't just a slogan. It's a call to action. It's time to answer the call and stand up to this festering cancer that's been normalized by the Trump Admin.

Many #chronicillness groups I'm in on FB keep reminding members, "no politics," but they're posting about losing coverage, losing meds, losing access - our whole existence is political. Gender. Religion. Skin. The silencing and erasing of us all by politicizing our whole existence intensifies.

Srsly. #westwing @bradleywhitford.bsky.social

Having MUCH better luck getting a non-full voicemail or a live staffer when I call my reps' local offices instead of DC offices with #5Calls -- any reason I shouldn't try local offices and keep trying DC, or is this good, too?

Speaking of #ChrisKluwe - how did I miss this AMAZING piece from Oct 2016??

Ukraine gave up their nukes because WE PROMISED to protect them and support them.

Also, not that rare. Most people never have their DNA sequenced, and if they’re not having an issue, they’ll never know. We’ve got estimates between 1 in 50 to 100 are intersex. That’s more intersex people than diabetics (1 in 200). 1% means 1 in every grade of a median sized elementary school.

In her latest piece, Dahlia Scheindlin (@dahliasc.bsky.social) tears apart the immoral justifications for Trump’s ethnic-cleansing plan for Gaza. Read here 👇

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act threatens to disenfranchise millions with strict in person requirements for voter registration. This will disproportionately impact service members and civilians abroad, making it harder for us to exercise […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

They're going after the LGB too. We told you so. www.washingtonian.com/2025/02/18/k...

Hey bros in my replies telling me to “cry harder”, 89 people were cut in the FDA’s human foods program over the weekend, including staff with expertise in infant formula safety. I’m sure that shit won’t affect you right? Not people you love? Infants you love? Just us Libs right?

Post a female character that you love.

This scares the HELL out of me.

I wrote about Elon Musk and Gavin Kliger and acknowledging the reality of what they are: Nazis.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Therapist: what do we say to people to let them know we're welcoming them into our lives? Me: Have you ever a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you? Therapist: no

Has anyone else noticed the "fresh new hell," "shock-and-awful" slowing down verrrrry slightly as the judiciary performs its OWN "flood the zone" right back at the regime? Two can apparently play this game. How many new snowballs can you lob if you're taking incoming? KEEP EVERYTHING UP!

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
