Tropical fish, Koi ponds, trying new things, gardening with native plants, theater, dogs, respectful political dialogue. These are a few of my favorite things. 🎼🎡🎢

It is not hyperbole to say DJT is a terrorist. Add that to the other terms that accurately describe him: convicted felon, misogynist, racist, homophobe, transphobe, thief, thug, adulterer, authoritarian.

I like the idea. It should be illegal for health insurance to be offered by for profit companies.

Two of my Angelfish laid eggs in the community tank they live in. Here is a brief video of the mom tending her fry as they munch on a piece of food that landed on a leaf.

β€œWe need to be loud in opposition. We must fight back.” Ok great? But how? I need concrete examples of what to do, not just general pleas to β€œfight back.”

That’s great, but that election is still two years away.

There’s enough to fault Trump for without blaming the cost of eggs on him. Price is up due to Bird Flu, not Trump. Would be up if Harris won too. Coffee prices are another story. That is the result of the tariff wars and totally Trump’s fault. Farm workers now not working; fear of ICE raid.

Jeff Bezos erases LGBTQ+ rights support from Amazon website Amazon has removed LGBTQ+ rights support and equity for Black staff from its website, following the White House’s move to erase DEI initiatives.

More disturbing news.

I might stop following the news people I follow on here and just follow non political things. I can get lots of politics, more in depth, through my Substack account.

My Bluesky is filled with politics right now, and I’m posting mostly political things. I’m hoping more of my FB friends will get an account here and the dialogue changes a bit. I guess it starts with me! I should just start posting other things.

Zuckerberg is now clearly on the dark side. Just can’t do it any more. I did just deactivate rather than delete. This is a trial basis!

Trump just axed the Equal Employment Opportunity Act. That has been around since 1965 when LBJ signed it. I guess blatant employment discrimination is ok now in the US. We are descending into a fascist state even quicker than I imagined we would.

Trump’s inauguration was watched by 26 million people, down from the nearly 40 million people who watched Joe Biden’s inauguration back in January, 2021. I imagine the ketchup hit the walls when those numbers came out.

36% of eligible voters voted for DJT. More people didn’t vote at all than voted for him. He did not get majority support nor does it represent a mandate.

If Trump backs MAGA, they win. If he backs Musk, then MAGA will back off and Musk wins.
