The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

I am so fed up with media outlets on the one hand discussing Elon Musk’s support for “far right politics” in Europe and here, and on the other not calling his Nazi salute a Nazi salute because they don’t want to infer his intent. He has ASD, after all. I’m sorry, HE KNEW!

Imagine getting to be nearly 80, being in the public eye, and a politician and being so insecure about everyone who doesn’t like you.

Eight years ago, I joined Twitter to yell into the void about the Trump presidency. I haven’t used that app since well before supervillain Musk bought it, and had even less use for it after. Here I am, in a new internet void to yell again. I am not ready for this. 🥺
