Heads up. Remember the supply chain issues during Covid that led to empty shelves? It is going to be that way for the USA in two weeks. My sister who works for a major US company with products in many big box stores is telling me that they are just about out of product. Time to stock up!

I'm meeting friends tomorrow at a local coffee shop to write our elected reps and vent. I've been doing this once a month. It has been a great way to stay connected with loved ones while putting pressure on politicians. Political activism doesn't need to be boring or painful. Go have fun with it!

The SAVE Act just passed the house. This is a dark day for voting rights, especially for married women, the poor, and deployed families abroad. A passport here STARTS at $160, and with DOGE cutting so many services, many wouldn't get their passports in time for the November election. By design.

Holy shit. 😳

The GOP cut welfare funding because the poor are lazy, but they also support these tariffs that are tanking our retirement funds, which will require us to need welfare programs when we retire, but we'll be denied access because we didn't pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. Did I get that right?

To the millions of people going to one of the many Hands Off 2025 events tomorrow: May you have a safe, peaceful, and successful protest!

TikTok is going belly up on Saturday in the US unless a miracle occurs. Where is the #resist crowd migrating to? I feel like I'm playing social media musical chairs these days.

Cory Booker is a goddamn hero.💙

This.👇

I'm a civil servant now and I want to post about my work SO BADLY but I can't BUT I will assure everyone that all hands are on deck and we are doing everything we can to mitigate the damage and preserve access to services/info. We feel so helpless as the good work we do is unraveled by the regime.☹

Are we in the Bad Place? It feels like we are in the Bad Place.

Watching the GOP defend and gaslight the group chat debacle is so freakishly cult-like that I am gobsmacked. If we ever survive this facist phase of America, we are going to have to hold our own version of the Nuremberg Trials to hold these people publicly accountable. Live are literally at stake.

It is like we are watching the rise of Shitler 2.0 but on a Monty Python timeline.

I'm in the middle of a bad Hashimoto flair up and my daughter and husband are very sick so I am nursing them and I noticed we caught a mouse in a trap but when I picked it up it disintegrated into a black sludge and now I have to do a hazmat cleaning AND we have a dictator is in charge. Send help.😭

I just got a memo from the FDA announcing that whip-its are bad, in case you are wondering how Trump's pick Dr. Marty Makary is doing as head of the FDA.🙄🙄

Ugh. Sen. Gary Peters (D), my senator, was one of the turncoats. He's not running for reelection so I have no idea why the hell he didn't stand up to this budget. We are very displeased.☹

When Musk says AI will replace human workers, everyone should be fighting back. I work in IT and have tested several AIs. Even the best ones screw up and need human oversight. We just aren't there yet. Musk's AI "Grok" is fucking terrible. He is *NOT* qualified to create AI for anything.

Sorry to be sharing more of this stuff, but it bears repeating: do not travel to the U.S.

I know this is a result of the boycotts and protesting, but I'd like to mention how it also coincides with the rise of #WitchTok. I'm just sayin'...😉 #SpellsDontWorkUnlessYouDo #Resist

It's that time of year when Mother Nature tries to kill me.😭 #allergies #asthma #spring

Girl dinner: 40-something addition.

Girl dinner tonight is tteokbokki and soju. @maangchi.com has the best recipe for it IMO.🥰

Elon suffers from chronic projectile dysfunction. SpaceX’s Starship explodes in second failure for Musk’s Mars program www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I can't decide if this is better than recommending horse tranquilizers to treat covid or if this is worse. Their stupidity never ceases to amaze.

Al Greene did everything right last night. He stood up to a tyrant. He called Trump out, peacefully disrupted the tyrant's business, and forced the GOP into the situation of having to drag him off the floor. Dems should be doing shit like that, not just coordinating colors and holding demure signs.

I'm visiting my folks and we are watching Felon 47's address to Congress. I've had two beers and a glass of wine just to get to the opening of this shitshow. Send help. OMG the parade of fools that just walked in. I can't believe these under-qualified, deplorable people are in charge.

My perfect vacay:

I know someone, somewhere, is going to appreciate my Yatzee score from last night:

I am so freaking embarrassed that we have two toddlers as president and vice president who think it is okay to throw fits and have a meltdown on television. At least when a toddler bullies a friend in preschool, there are consequences. This is fucking insane.

Spending a relaxing day filling the new spice jars I just got. There is a lot of chaos right now. Remember that self-care and joy are acts of resistance too.❤

We interrupt your doom scrolling to remind you that homemade fried green tomatoes are freaking amazing and you deserve to treat yourself. Self care is essential, y'all.✌

To whoever needs to hear this: Elon Musk is not, contrary to popular belief, a technology guru. He buys tech-y companies and runs half of them into the ground. He knows *shit* about cyber security and is 100% unqualified to be in our government systems. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I found myself on abuela TikTok and these beautiful grandmas are sharing the most amazing recipes. I made one tonight and it was INCREDIBLE. How anyone is anti-immigrant is beyond me. They brought the most amazing food, music, languages, and celebrations to our country. LOOK. AT. THIS. FOOD.

I'm chaperoning a school trip to DC this summer. I feel like Indiana Jones going into Berlin.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

This is brilliant. Trump is a narcissist. How fast do you think he will fire Elon if we all refer to Musk as president?🤔😅

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Dear friends in Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, &other countries, I am so sorry that Orange Shitler is picking fights with our closest friends. Please know that there are 341 million American citizens. The overwhelming majority did not vote for him. America loves u! We will keep fighting! Xoxo

Absolute heroes.✊

hey quick question does Goliath win in that story

I am deleting my Twitter. We had a good run, and I will miss the good old days. Fuck Musk. Fuck Trump. Fuck Nazis. And fuck fascism. 🖕

We are on the stupidest timeline by far. Who the hell picks a fight with Canada?!?!? I'm in Michigan and they are our BFF. This tariff war is SO DUMB. I don't blame Canada one bit for retaliating in kind. A big chunk of America needs a wake up call.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Remember that many of his executive orders are in direct conflict with existing law. He can't just wave a magic wand and undo laws that Congress has passed. The shock and awe is the point. It is his wish list. He wants to see what we let him get away with. We can challenge & ignore unlawful orders.

A Black professor accidentally started an HBCU on TikTok called HillmanTok. Now other professors have joined in and are teaching actual courses with some offering certs that can be added to your resume Some courses being offered ⬇️

So suddenly after several days of eerie silence I've gotten my FDA, Dept. Of Ag., and NIST newsletters. I guess the federal gag order has been lifted for some agencies? This is all very chaotic, which, of course, is the point. Shock and awe is one of the first steps of facism in power.

That moment when your hearing aids automatically connect to a random iphone and you start hearing voices...😳 #HardOfHearing #HOH
