US Envoys arrived today and are pleading with our leaders to refrain from imposing retaliatory tariffs. We initially denied their pleas until their ambassador returned wearing a suit and thanked us for existing.

I decided to read “Flamer” by Mike Curato since it’s in the top 10 most-challenged books list (www.ala.org/bbooks/frequ...). This page broke my heart. LGBTQ+ kids deserve to know they are LOVED and that they MATTER. The front of this book says “This book will save lives.” It will. Read this book 🏳️‍🌈

Already hearing that Republican members have been showing up to the House floor trying to take up the Dem side seats for the joint address 💀

It’s still cold outside, but the sunshine is warm in here 🖤

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

OH MY GOD MAKE IT STOP. Every day it’s SOMETHING. The United States is a god damn dumpster fire and I’m so fucking tired of waking up to read that the Cheeto has pushed away all of our allies, made our poor people poorer, and excused the actions of literal rapists. I’m so over it.

VERY IMPORTANT. BABY BEARS PURR 😭

Reposting this for myself for later, but feel free to read the comments yourself too! Lots of good suggestions in here 💕

This gave me so much hope. Thank god people are standing up to this administration, even in a deeply red district 👏🏻

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

I am so tired. There’s something new and terrible in the news every single day, millions of people affected by shit policies, and a government that doesn’t fucking care about any of its citizens. I just want to live in a world where I don’t have to worry about every person every second of every day.

Tiny paw prints in the freshly fallen snow 🥰 it’s the little things 🐾

Went to trivia tonight and our team took second place?! Then played the crane game and won a little teddy bear?! What a night yall.

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 📉

I feel like the world is ending, but at least I can make and eat buffalo chicken pasta for dinner 👌

Literally happening as we speak
