Going to delete this app. I may or may not be back. I think not everyone needs a megaphone & I don’t want to hear it anymore. I’m over social media.

Driving home from work in DC when it’s raining might be the 6th layer of hell

If you’re a #nurse interested in working on clinical trials to improve care for women & pregnancy outcomes, please check out the new position on our team www.linkedin.com/posts/michel...

Fellow distance runners, make sure you get your colon cancer screening & let your doctor know if you notice any bleeding. If you’re under 45 you may need to screen sooner, even if fit & healthy. I’ve done 8 marathons & had 2 lesions removed at 45, despite being fit with no traditional risk factors.

In “I’m mostly here to enjoy myself” by Glynnis MacNicol she says: “Humility having a lowly opinion of oneself… is just another way to say be quiet, stop talking, take up less space, it’s just a hop skip and a syllable away from humiliation” and I can’t stop thinking about it

at this point i can barely muster the strength to be disgusted at trump for this shit, but the hatred of a thousand suns goes out to the media thats just going to pretend this is normal and let it slide

“Good marriages are never as interesting as bad affairs” - quote from Tom Lake by Ann Patchett

Declaring dissidents and undesired groups mentally ill was one of the fundamental means of control used in the Soviet Union.

LITERAL GOLD. Thank you for making this, @colbertlateshow.bsky.social.

Who around #DC feels like a March tomorrow? act.aflcio.org/events/we-ar...

On an unserious note… I know TikTok made everyone wear vanilla, but have you smelled pineapple?!

I wish I was going through peri menopause with Taylor Swift, because those songs are going to be a whole new level of rage & zero f*cks to give that I need right now

Flu shot ✅ made sure I got it before RFK takes those away too 😒 #vaccinessavelives

if there are federal troops deployed to chicago, a lot more white people are going to need to make physical blockades it's a good weekend to visit Pilsen, Back of the Yards, Gage Park, Little Village if something happens downtown or logan square, please still make sure to spread out defense

Wait and see how bad the mental health crisis is going to be in the US if RFK Jr takes away SSRIs…

Gerrymandering = not a democracy Purposeful erasing the will of the people is what the constitution is supposed to protect us from. Now, everyone is doing it. They are trying to invalidate elections. What are we going to do? This is unacceptable.

Good news y’all. We soon may not be able to get vaccines that have actual data to support their use but any snake oil salesman may soon be able to make any claim they want about the garbage they’re hawking from their insta account without any data at all. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

I love this for us. At least a jury of our peers will stand up for us when SCOTUS & people with power (looking at you senators & house members) won’t #FreeDC

Omg, we have next Monday off?! 😄😄😄 Glad labor day is early this year!

Wow, I e had a gmail account for 21 years 🤯

And with Trump openly tying deployments to his personal need for “appreciation,” this move looks far less about security and far more about authoritarianism.

Why do I suddenly have the most insane reactions to mosquito bites?!

Friday fatigue really hits new levels in your 40s. So exhausted 🥱

NEW: Judge Reyes has called a 2pm hearing on D.C.'s emergency bid to reclaim control of its police department. A restraining order could be in place within hours. w Nicole Markus www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Grocery stores are already pushing Apple cider & Halloween candy. No. 1) it’s August 14 2) It’s 75 degrees with 95% humidity at 6am 3) the city texts me everyday “Heat Alert for DC. Will feel like 95F or hotter. Drink water. Stay cool” It’s not fall yet 🙃

We just published an excellent commentary in Vaccine by @gavinyamey.bsky.social & Chris Beyrer breaking down how the current regime is laying waste to US vaccination programs & what we can do about it: ✅Congress must withdraw support for RFK Jr ✅Speak up...loudly ✅Study anti-vax movements ✅VOTE

The National Guard is being sent into cities. White house "vetting" what's on display in museums. Scientific grants need to be signed off by a political figure. Legal immigrants are being detained without due process. Which part of this is "small government"?

Someone better hire sandwich guy ASAP, he is every DC local’s hero right now

Trump Misstates Washington Crime Data to Justify Takeover www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/u...

I love that people who’ve not set foot in DC tell me how violent & awful it is here. Is it perfect? No. Is there crime? Yes. You also run the risk of getting shot at any Target, Walmart, School, Movie Theater, Office building, marathon etc They need to fix the actual problem not deploy gestapo

Friendlier data? COME ON. Trump is looking for economic data that is FALSE. Say that. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/11/b...

Can’t sleep cause of all the world drama, but at least I found out TS has a new album coming. 🧡

WE are NOT a red state!!! WE are 📢 a RIGGED state!!! #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

It is important that people understand that only building engineering prevented this being a wholesale slaughter of dedicated public servants.

Nazi Germany had the SS & gestapo, the US has ICE, FBI, & the national guard taking over cities that have not requested help or indicted any emergency. He is militarizing his personal vendettas against areas he hates because they are diverse & did not for him. This has to stop.

CDC employees have long feared that the hostility towards the agency (promoted by misinformation from Secretary Kennedy, among others) will lead to violence. Then it happened. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi... @landmanspeaking.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com

Trump would not Deploy National Guard to D.C., when hundreds of first responders got injured or died, but now ... he wants to Take Over City’s Police Department when there is no crisis www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

How many times will he deploy the National Guard to protect "tough white men" from being attacked? I lived in DC for ten years without any military protection. I walked late at night hundreds of times in heels and dresses. I held my own. Big Balls must have smaller balls than me.

First, remember what works in moments like this one.

This.

I live in DC. There is absolutely NO reason for this takeover. I literally had a picnic on the mall last Sunday & it was gorgeous. I run around DC & the mall by myself at least 3 times a week and have never felt unsafe. This is a travesty for the city & for everyone who live in and love DC

Get ready… things are about to get really sad 😔

How long until I open the news and I don’t have to see Trump on every headline? I hate it here. The US is not currently a democracy.

Reading the little book of hygge & just got my morning dose in before work ☺️

Even though I left my federal job in May, I apparently still have my federal health insurance. So, firing all those HR people probably isn’t saving all the money they thought - I bet they are paying a lot of health insurance for people no longer working there. Great job doge.

Nothing says climate policy like skipping brunch and hoping the sky notices.

Ran over 50 miles in July - which is the most I’ve run in a month since injuring my Achilles ~a year ago. Wild that I used to run this much in a week while marathon training. Wonder if I’ll ever make it back to marathons 🧐

I wish one of Trump’s cronies would tell him just because he doesn’t like something doesn’t mean it isn’t true. We are being ruled by an 80 year old toddler.
