When you’re in line at the supermarket next week and prices have gone up, you’ll know who to blame:

Donald Trump and his tariffs.

Here is fairy princess Ellie for my contribution to a thing on social media that’s not political and devastating.

Saw Colorworld at the Wood tonight. Bravo to Anthony Richichi and everyone who was a part of it! Followed it up with vegan pizza at Go Play With Your Food. Lovely night out in Downtown Glens Falls, NY.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Everyone was warned about this, and it’s happening just as we feared.

“Mom, the toilet’s smoking!” yelled Ellie from the bathroom.

I’ve never heard of such a thing but it sounded like an emergency.

I ran in to find this:

When my alarm wakes me up: Image from a recipe of a potato with the words “let the potato rest for five minutes”

Not suggesting to spam this email—that would be irresponsible ;) —but simply providing it: hr@opm.gov

The only thing more dangerous than a vengeful president is an opposition that’s too despondent to fight back.

“There won’t be an election in 4 years.”

Oh really? Please. You don’t know what will happen tomorrow.

The Trump administration has required that all communications and social media posts from federal agencies undergo prior approval before being shared. This directive is currently in effect until the end of the month.

Yayyyyyy!!!!

A post from Senator Schumer reads: “Now do UFOs.” A post from the Trump White House reads: “President Trump Orders Historic Transparency: JFK, RFK, and MLK Files to be Declassified. “This is a big one. A lot of people have been waiting for this for years, for decades. Everything will be revealed.” –President Trump”

Now do UFOs.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out Republicans for wanting sweeping immigrant detention after praising President Donald Trump's pardons of more than 1,500 January 6 rioters. #news #newsweek #pol... TikTok video by Newsweek

Read today’s Chronicle to see a profile on some of the fine people right here in our towns who were pardoned by Trump and tell me again how deporting immigrants is going to cut down on crime.

Ellie’s new front teeth are finally coming in and I can’t wait to meet my new grown-up daughter.

We need way more memes over here on BS, as I’m fondly calling it now. I can’t handle news that isn’t funny 😫

Trump’s Golden Age?

Yeah if you wanted senior citizens to pay more for prescription drugs, this is your Golden Age.

Right!???

Breathe, don’t panic.
Breathe, don’t panic.
Breathe, don’t panic.

When we have enough oxygen in our brains, we will figure out what to do next.

How are you doing? Some of us had to spend the day in bed. It was a beautiful MLK Day event yesterday. Glad we had two marches over the weekend to remind us of the goodness of our community.

Meanwhile, freedom of speech is getting iffy. Glad to have BlueSky. Join our email list: eepurl.com/i76cto

Thank you to the Hannaford employee who said, “I saw nothing,” after they clearly saw me scrambling after a rolling floor rutabaga and then when I stood up having recovered said rutabaga, bonking my head on the vegetable scale. I bet that was hilarious to see.

Lovely turnout for the MLK march today.
