Sometimes a comment section truly makes my day. Such as this comment on James Fell's post regarding the ratio of protestors to perade attendees: "Not since Peter Brady has a self-thrown birthday party been so under attended". It was over 1K to 1 BTW. I'll echo Mr Fell: Well done America!

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her

Local elections are over and I'm pleased that sanity and science won in my little town. The MAGA asshats were promptly shown the door.

Boston showed the fuck up today.

Reached for the bottle of Tylenol 1st thing forgetting the bottle next to the bed was Tylenol PM. Then had to attend a meeting with senior leadership. It was a ROUGH morning. Glad to be headed home 🤣

Day 2 goes to Patricia Bath who discovered and invented a new device and technique for cataract surgery known as laserphaco.

As someone with Irish ancestry, I love me some potatoes but we really need to do better giving proper credit. Enough with the white washing of history.

He can cancel it. Doesn't mean we have to comply. In honored of Black History month, I choose to focus on Black Women inventors. Today, meet nventor Marie Van Brittan Brown, inventor of the first home security system. https://lemelson.mit.edu/resources/marie-van-brittan-brown#:~:text=African%20Ameri

This is fucking horrifying.

Please don't think for a second that the ceasefire means the genocide has ended. #freepalestine

3 and all women. Nope. Not sus. Not at all.

Arriving at Vancouver Island. We only explored Victoria as we were there just for the day. I'd like to go back and explore more. #Island #dailyphototheme

Read, learn, share.

Hadn't heard of Squareword. That was interesting. Still not sure I fully get it but even after only one game, I think I'm addicted.

The Northern Lights from the plane. Taken over Canada, returning from vacation in Alaska. This was my first time seeing the Lights and an amazing ending to a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. #dailypicturetheme

How to Drink from a Firehose A former Obama speechwriter on Trump’s week-one rhetorical strategy—and how you can help beat it

Quick read on combating the rhetoric.

Part of me wants to sit back with a large popcorn and watch everyone who voted for him as they enter the Find Out stage but too many of us who didn't are in the cross hairs.

What I'm not going to do is be nice to anyone who did when they come crying.

If you have not read Christopher Wylie's Mindf*uck Cambridge Analytics and the Plot to Break America, you really need to.

Tide pen has worked well for me in that dept. Someone recommended Grandma's secret or something to that effect but I haven't tried it yet.

I always have a stain removal pen or wipes with me because it never fails.

In a meeting. HR is also attending. Moved my mic to take a drink (sore throat). Forgot to move it back before responding to a question. Can't be heard.

'Sorry. Moved my mic as I was drinking.'

Remember HR is also on call.

'WATER! I'm drinking WATER!'

Remember: tomorrow, you and your fellow citizens are loyal to the US constitution, not to this person, no mater how much he and his cultists insist on it.

We owe the the country an orderly transfer of power. We owe them nothing.

A local bar advertising that they are hosting an Inauguration/MLK party.

Who's going to tell them?

I had my first cronut today (only slightly behind the times). I will never eat a donut again.

FD cleared the building and even with the Tylenol PM, I can't sleep. So maybe I will search for reruns 😀

Nothing worse than a fire alarm in the hotel when you are already in bed. It's also the reason why sweatpants and sweatshirt are always right next to the bed.

And now I'm freaking wired.

Today's celebration is a lie. We are on stolen land and the genocide continues to this day.

Reasons I don't celebrate.

The GOP's hypocrisy:

"Matt Gaetz is a private citizen. Congress should not investigate a private citizen."
- Mike Johnson
"It doesn't matter that Hunter Biden is a private citizen. The American people deserve to know. Congress needs to investigate to the fullest extent possible."
- Mike Johnson

Exclusive: Woman told House Ethics panel she witnessed Gaetz having sex with minor, lawyer says An attorney tells ABC News that one of his clients told the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed then-Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz having sex with a minor.

The convicted rapist nominates a p3d0 for AG. Draining of the Swamp 2.0 is starting of swimmingly.
