But by god, let’s get rid of paper straws

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

This is the content I’ve been needing

They don’t know how or care to think critically.

Unfortunately that does seem like the course we are on. We have a crisis of education and critical thinking here. Higher education is unaffordable for most, and k-12 curriculum is so lightly litigated and variable state to state. In Rep. led states they have banned teaching true history.

Just FYI we’ve done this. And we did it during his first administration.

Thank you for this. Even if we aren’t able to stop his confirmation, you did the American people right and did all you could to show who this monster is.

That’s correct. But he did have hr for the entire federal government offer us a vague option for deferred resignation, but only having until feb 6 to answer, without going through proper channels or giving any details about how this is possible or without using proper privacy protection.

Thanks for your support and compassion. We need it.

He CLEARLY does not care who dies

-declared 🏳️‍⚧️ people don’t exist, which will halt treatments -this will 🟰 deaths of 🏳️‍⚧️ people (by suicide)

-overturned the cap on insulin - this will 🟰 poor & ill/♿️ people dying

-permission for ICE to raid 🏥 - people will die from avoiding medical care

Terrified American here. Do everything you can to protect your free and fair elections, including banning or placing serious warnings on social media headed by Musk and Zuckerberg. I have no idea why so many Americans were ok with this. It is truly scary here.

Yes. And on top of this, they want to cripple NASA so that the billionaires entering the space race can hoard the profit and make it an exclusive white man’s club.

What I’ve been saying since receiving this as a VA psychologist on Tuesday.

I am a queer woman living in the Midwest, married to a nonbinary person. We are both federal employees, psychologists, who have dedicated our careers to serving those who are disenfranchised, disabled, and ill. We are terrified.

Please, please stand up to our fascist in chief. You are absolutely right, this is going to hurt us. The majority of us are feeling terrified and in despair.

Im probably not supposed to like this and I’m likely not your target audience, but I am a white queer woman, and fucking love this. I feel so betrayed by fellow white women, I might need to use some of these myself.

Everyone who said I was overreacting, STFU.

Citizenship, the pardoning of thousands of treasonous, violent, insurrectionists, the deletion of the app used to seek asylum in the US, and end of efforts to reunite children with their parents at the border, stripping gov programs aimed at creating equity-including in healthcare… to name a few.

Within hours, we’ve seen reproductiverights.gov disabled, denial of our trans/nb/genderqueer community’s existence, Elon Musk gave a nationally televised n@zi salute, the denouncement of the Native American sovereignty by stripping the name of Mt Denali, an executive order to end birthright

What the actual fuck?! I hate it here.

If you're stressing out about tomorrow, there are now over 400 local immigration groups listed on this spreadsheet across all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico - take a minute, find one near you, and commit to spending an hour volunteering with them.
