I was the opposite whenever our local sirens fired off for testing. Purge thoughts came to mind. It wasn't testing, it was malfunctioning by sounding off various times in the morning only on testing days. Used to be once a month, but now it's every week. Being told to "ignore" it for weeks is scary!
As long as I don't wake up to Sonny and Cher every morning, I'll keep helping others!
If you're still stuck repeating your days, I got you, babe.
The universe speaks in mysterious ways.
May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here.
What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.
What about us blue dots in red states?
ALARM ALARM. 🚨
While the media was busy groveling, Donald Trump quietly signed an executive order “relating to holding former government officials accountable for unlawful disclosure of sensitive information.”
He just silenced anyone he fires.
Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.
Welcome to Bluesky!
You know how during an election we always say "if you're in line, STAY IN LINE"?
Here's the new version:
If you're in a federal job, STAY IN YOUR FEDERAL JOB.
Don't quit. That's obeying in advance. Make them fire you. Then sue them to stop it.
Keep fighting. Do NOT surrender.
We are now in the “muzzle the intelligent” phase.
WHO DID THIS!
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

trump couldn't plan a ham sandwich. Heritage Foundation is the brains behind his executive orders. One of our chief goals should be to drive a wedge between them. Use his narcissism and thin ego to convince him that Heritage is just using him as a puppet. Let his ego do the rest.
And now for something completely different . . .
First photo of all 3 strays that visit my backyard.
Thinking of "creamsicle" and "fudgesicle" for the kittens. What would you name the mama?
Also remember, this is all a big show to him, a big spectacle. Think WWE drama.
Tune out that fakeness and focus on yourself and your community.
Build eachother up while they try to tear us all down!
