We find out tomorrow if my husband is a good candidate for major cancer surgery or if he should get his affairs in order. He's already done a lot of that, fearing the worst. The suspense is killing me. I'm grateful I can drink and not become addicted. Maker's Mark will help me sleep tonight.

1/2 To anyone who is still following me: My husband has cancer--interperitoneal liposarcoma D, a rare but aggressive cancer with a 30% survival rate over 5 years. He has a huge fatty tumor in his abdomen that is pushing organs out of the way. He's going for chemotherapy, then surgery to remove

Help! I dropped my Good Omens 2 coffee mug and smashed it to smithereens. I can't find another one online. Any ideas? I loved that mug. 😭

So he's in protective custody from the US government. Let that sink in.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

The law must always be grounded in fundamental principles such as equal rights and due process, or it becomes a tool of oppression.

Has hell frozen over?

The courts dismiss their cases, which effectively makes them undocumented, giving the government an excuse to deport them. This shit needs to stop.

Don't volunteer for deportation. You may end up in hell.

If they're complying with the law, they shouldn't be taken at the courthouse.

Project 2025 is being systematically codified into law. The book is no longer available for sale or download, but you can google the title and come up with some online copies. My downloaded copy has gone AWOL. Big Brother is watching you.

And here is that long Alt NPS thread about the budget bill. skywriter.blue/pages/did:pl...

The beginning of a long thread detailing how the "big beautiful bill" is straight from Project2025 and the conservative playlist.

One of the women had a baby with her. They were separated and as of 5pm on May 9, nobody knew where the baby was. THIS IS NOT LEGAL, MORAL, OR SAFE. Video is 9:39.

Governor Mills to Trump: "I'll see you in court" Trump: "Actually, no, lets settle."

Small town deep red tennessee with a small protest but still out bsky.app/profile/shar...

50501 - No Kings Day in Rochester New York

Amazing 50501 rally today.

Kids, but also adults who always felt like everybody got the script except them, had trouble concentrating in noisy, crowded places, missed important appointments, never graduated college, and so many more things that made them feel like a loser.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

A grassroots-led campaign has hundreds of protests and events scheduled across the U.S. on Saturday. Organizers say the momentum built on resistance against the Trump administration has not slowed.

It would have been Charlie Chaplin's birthday today, so I just had to bring out this little gem: youtu.be/6wpRDDUesw8?...

Yes, it does. A senator from Maryland has gone down to El Salvador to try to get this man home. But Trump is mulling deporting US citizens who express ideas he doesn't support. I wouldn't put it past him.

This is incredibly easy to use. If you don't want to call, they have email addresses. You can't cut and paste the suggested text, but once you've typed it, you can copy it to your clipboard and past all you want.

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

Y’all know what to do

Tl;dr: Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act of 1789 on any future protests. The wording is vague enough that the military can be called upon to quell anything the POTUS or the states decide constitutes an "insurrection." www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Media outlets say "thousands." It's 5.2 million nationwide. The next one is on Saturday, April 19.

Senator Cory Booker started talking at 7pm on March 31, 2025, and he's still going. He has yielded for questions without yielding the floor. He's not holding anything back. He's showing how unified senate Democrats are. It's a beauty to see! www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ut...

I can't go to these protests due to my wonky heart, but here are some tips for anyone who can go.

So much shit has hit the fan that we're going to need a bigger fan.

The Greenland obsession is Network State shit, that’s it, it’s not a big mystery, been out in the open for ages. From www.vcinfodocs.com/status-of-th...:

I haven't seen much about this in the news. I found a story on NYT about the protest at Trump Tower on March 13. Seems like news stations are afraid to cover it for fear of reprisals by the current administration.

In the name of God, @chuckschumer.com , wtf are you thinking?! Chris Murphy and Dick Blumenthal, if you support this, please explain yourselves!

It's scary AF in the US now. I thought I might get some exercise today, but it hurts to breathe and just walking from my car to the grocery store got me some low-level angina. But I have my birthday cake--a last-minute decision to cheer myself up. It's very pretty.

If you want something that clearly explains what’s going on with Trump’s strategic crypto reserve, look no further than this @bendwalsh.bsky.social piece www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

How is this benefiting Trump or Musk? I suppose new occupants will have to pay taxes on the property? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
