Former NFL player Brett Favre still owes the state of Mississippi $700,000 in misspent welfare money that paid for a volleyball court at his daughter’s school. You may now resume shaming SNAP users for buying Cheez-Its

An American President just referred to himself as “the apple of Putin’s eye.”

I liked presidential F-bombs better when we were all getting affordable healthcare.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

I hope Gavin Newsom doesn’t think we will forget how he pandered to bigot and pipsqueak Charlie Kirk by the time 2028 rolls around.

Some non-compromised republicans need to get brave. NOW.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Congrats, everyone—the Elon boycott is working! Reports indicate that Tesla inventory is swelling, especially with Cybertrucks piling up outside their factory. Keep the boycott going, and don’t forget—today is the Economic Blackout!

Anyone who has endured psychological abuse tactics like gaslighting, blame-switching, and reverse victim/offender will immediately recognize what Trump and Vance just did to Zelenskyy—And what narrative they’re teeing up for the American people. Watch how quickly MAGA will sympathize with Putin.

I had a question and Tom Robbins had the answer. So I wrote him, and he wrote right back. He didn’t respond to the question itself, but to why I’d asked. What a gently delivered, generous gift. I’ve looked for The Whys ever since and often leave them be after that. It’s wonder, not answers, I want.

Hot tip on eggs: If you have GoPuff in your area and subscribe to their FAM membership ($7.99/month—free delivery, discounts, etc) a dozen organic eggs are $2 flat.

For those of you who don’t see Bannon’s salute for what it is, try closing your eyes. Listen for the moment the cheers crescendo. Let the crowd see it for you.

Today I learned Lloyd Benson was prepped for his “Senator you’re no Jack Kennedy” moment and today I realized how many insomniac hours I wasted coming up with perfect retorts 3 days too late. Anyway, my ceiling fan knows I eventually won all my debates, and that’s what matters.

Endorsing the crime of ethnic cleansing.

I think it already is. But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made. We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

How many days/weeks before Karoline Leavitt “resigns to focus on her family”?

A house on my parents’ street has been decked out with Trump flags, Vets for Trump signs, over the top w/ a dozen American flags and awning for over a year. It was there yesterday. Today, it’s all gone. Wonder why.

The Getty Images photographer who took this shot of Elon Musk at the AfD rally in Germany deserves a Pulitzer.

Wikipedia is holding strong in their commitment to media neutrality. I made my first ever donation to them when Musk called for them to be defunded. If you have a few extra bucks, I think they could use it in their fight for truth against the richest man in the world.

The Quakers have entered the chat.

Already finding this incredibly helpful.

Current Amazon bestsellers include: Handmaid’s Tale, 1984, The U.S. Constitution, On Tyranny, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World—proof reading is resistance and resistors are reading, but let’s buy from indie/local/ethical booksellers, y’all.

By the way, Bishop Budde has a book! Let's send her to the bestseller list. This book is already backordered on some sites. She proved yesterday that she's an expert on the topic about which she has written. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/705987...

Heather Cox Richardson’s daily newsletter will likely endure as our truest account of the next four years (or more) but I urge others to document/preserve personal experiences of this administration’s activities, if you’re up to it. We need accurate reportage, but also Anne Franks on all fronts.

Meteorologists didn’t volunteer to be part of the resistance, but here they are— warning abnormally warm water in the Gulf of Mexico could land the hurricane at a Cat 5 to an audience who will choose to believe the Gulf of America is under attack by a supersized Dyson AirWrap piloted by Democrats.

Anti-transgender legislation skyrockets the attempted suicide rate for transgender people from an already a staggering 40% to 72%. But do go on about the 10 transgender people in collegiate sports who have an “unfair advantage.”

When my dog started barking, I knew what had arrived at the door.

Take note of any and all who claim that was anything other than a Sieg Heil. That wasn’t autism. That wasn’t awkward enthusiasm. Elon Musk is not a “friend of the Jewish people.” You saw it and you recognized it and if you’re covering for him, you’re complicit.

Excuse me?!

Logged on Amazon to migrate my wishlist and recommendations are suddenly the opposite of what I’ve historically purchased/saved/searched—including books on the “hoax” of racism in America, how feminism is “ruining” women, and on the “dangers of wokeness.” What the actual hell is going on?

May Jesus put conditions on aiding Christian Nationalist Mike Johnson during his darkest hour for doing the same to wildfire victims in California. So Mote It Be.

Trading in Facist Facebook for the company of books with less “masculine energy.” #FuckZuck

Just wrote a dissertation on all the implications of the phrase “culturally neutered” while staring at the wall, just daymaring away.

JUST IN: Another team of Mexican firefighters has landed in LA to help combat the wildfires. Thank you, Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Just thought of this and it is happening

Latest book haul. In my house, we don’t call it CRT. We call it history, and we learn about the things that define us as people.
