Things that were not on my 2025 bingo card:
Agreeing with something these people said:
Mitch McConnell
Rand Paul
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Tucker Carlson

We are definitely living in the upside down.

If constant notifications are pushing you to the brink, may I suggest a twice daily scheduled summary? This has literally been one of the best things I’ve ever set up on my phone.

I’m actually excited about what I’m hearing from the Dems today!!

Seems like this tariff thing might be a FAFO moment for Trump.

No one can quash the legacy of the Tuskegee Airman.

Same for the Buffalo Soldiers.

That unit was sent to West Point from 1907-1947 to replace an undisciplined white unit. During segregation, they trained all the white officers who fought in WWI & II & they built a legacy.

We know their story.

If you snitch to ICE, you would have also snitched on Anne Frank.

Rewatching Band of Brothers again to remind myself that we used to fight Nazis, not elect them.

I’m sure a lot of people already know about this, but I’m often late to the party.

I just learned of an app - Goods Unite Us - which scores US corporations by their political donations. It’s a great way to weigh where you spend your dollars. I’ve been trying to shop β€œbluer” so this helps me!

From monumental legislative successes to steady leadership amid our nation’s greatest challenges, Joe Biden gave us 4 years of reunification, recovery, and revitalization. Trump will try to steal the credit, but it was Biden who delivered it for us. Thank you, President Biden.

I’ve been prepping myself to not become enraged at everything they do bc I need to save that energy to mobilize with others.

They win when you:

- lose hope
- give up
- become cynical and withdraw
- keep silent to stay off their radar

Don't let them win.

I’m infuriated with the old guard for not giving AOC and Jasmine Crockett more leadership roles in the party.

We can’t afford to be enraged about everything. We will have to take action. Being enraged will not stop what is coming, but fighting and mobilizing will.

Don’t get caught clutching your pearls over Elon’s salute. We are going to be inundated w/disturbing actions over the next 4 years, esp the next 100 days.
Take care of your mental health & don’t react to the theater. Protect your peace so you can fight when it is time, bc the time is coming.

You. Yes you. Stop scrolling. Listen to me for a second.

You're going to be okay. We are going to be okay. No matter what happens from here on out, the best thing we can do is lock arms and keep going. Don’t abandon your morals & values. Don’t allow the situation to rob you of your happiness🫢

Sadly, I’m not shocked. They have not tried to hide the real agenda and believe nothing can stop them now that everyone is sworn in. Why hide it anymore?

In A Handmaid’s Tale, Gilead is A dystopian America after a successful coupe of the Govt. I almost didnt do this thread because it may be too real for some. But I feel on the eve of this #Inauguration & this being a banned book, necessary. #BlueResisters #ProudBlue

Hi, I’m God.

I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.

I heard the term β€œpolitical agnostic” yesterday & I think that’s me!

I lean left but I’m disillusioned w/Dems for sticking with aging leadership & not allowing the younger generation to step up. It’s time for a new strategy. We can’t continue doing the same things & expecting different results.

When Bill Clinton had his scandal with Monica Lewinsky, Republicans acted like it was the end of civilization. Now, they’re putting a rapist and convicted felon into the Oval Office. The hypocrisy is insane.
