I see tomorrow is Friday.

Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?

Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?

I just can’t keep track.

Remember the day Elon bragged with an infantile giggle about putting USAID into the "wood chipper". just your bog standard sociopath marauding through our world.

Contempt of court

Why is he carrying that kid around like a yorkie

He deadass looked around the stadium and saw all the steel. I guarantee it.

The majority of Black voters live in red states. Most red states are actually purple but GOP state legislatures have overly gerrymandered districts & do all kinds of voter suppression tactics.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

The Denison sweatshirt is the highlight of the picture!

Judge Amy Berman Jackson has formally dismissed the case of Jan. 6 defendant DJ Rodriguez, who drove a taser into the neck of MPD officer Michael Fanone and had been sentenced to 12 years in prison

"Michael Fanone's heroism will never be moot," she says.

Yeah, he split from South Africa as apartheid was ending…there is a reason for that.

I’ve been reminding my reps that what is happening is NOT popular with Republicans or Democrats. Like sure I am hair on fire angry but their base doesn’t support billionaires raiding Medicare and throwing out the Dept of Ed either.

Yep. I ran out of character space to get to that really important piece.

5 calls is a GREAT app. It tells you who to call and what to say for many issues!

Many people can’t afford to get arrested for tons of reasons (kids, jobs). Having a vocal presence is still important though. It lets people in power know that we are angry and it isn’t ok. My call to my Republican reps isn’t going to move the needle but if there are enough they won’t get relelectwd

I plan to call daily. It takes five-10 minutes depending on if you get someone to answer vs leaving a voicemail. (Info for anyone who thinks there isn’t time).

I’ve called my senators and congressman today. Thousands upon thousands are protesting right now. We are doing things. We’re just complaining too.

Kendrick had no plan to win any of this shit. He was just hatin and look where it got him.

There’s a lesson there!

Me: please stop snoring so I can listen to this song with out you honk shooing
Andrew: ok
Not thirty seconds later

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

Most of the new DEI programs he’s destroying are a direct result of his first term so I totally agree with this.

Elon Musk, who has not been elected or officially appointed to any office, successfully pushed the FAA Administrator to resign 9 days ago.

Did not age well.

Remembering how when Trump disbanded the pandemic response team in 2018 countless experts at the time warned it was only a matter of time before a global pandemic would hit. And were ignored by him.

Trump’s incompetence and capriciousness is deadly.

Sounds like a cheap hit. But maybe it wasn’t a great time to freeze hiring of new air traffic controllers for no reason why there was already a shortage. I’m not sure this is a stretch.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

The economy is in turmoil but at least my financial future is secure thanks to my collection of 10,000 images of tennis balls. Now to take a big sip of coffee and open Bluesky

Two kids in swim lessons costs $300/month…in Ohio. 💸💸💸. They are what I call “semi-private” which is awesome for our adhd kids…definitely planning to go to a rec center once they have established swimming skills though.
