I feel your pain and share your concern/worry

Does anyone else think something will happen before the four years are up?

Will it be for the worse or for the better?

On the one hand, I know the right hates income taxes because they don't understand them...but a mass refusal to file taxes in a few months seems historically appropriate as an act of mass protest and signal that we are no longer confident in our leadership and will not fund this lunacy...

Agreed. I don’t want to do my taxes more than usual this year.

1. Tax season is coming. How many of us want to pay on time or at all? How many of us think the IRS is going to be able to handle this year?

2. Remember, this too shall pass but, surviving is going to be difficult. And we will have so much rebuilding to do afterwards.

Perfectly captured.

With this coup going on (DOGE getting access to all of our data), what can we do? I would really love some suggestions and this whole thing makes me feel so helpless

Drove to Lahaina with my mom today. We wanted to see if we could spot any whales. Happy to say that we saw two.

It is the small things that help me stay sane

Soooo, I bought this canvas with a specific idea of what I wanted to paint on it… now, weeks later, do I remember what I wanted to paint on it? No. And so, we get a cat butt because I see other artists’ versions, I make kitty keister glass beads, why not finally paint a cat butt in my style?

Screaming into the void. Friends who need support, I am here. Concentrating on my community and my friends. Cute kitten pic for fun

Trump has still not introduced a single plan or policy to lower grocery prices.

But he is taking action on day one to raise prices.

I cannot tell you how much dread and stress I feel right now. I know I am not alone. Going to focus on my community and help where I can when I can.

I feel like I should come up with something profound for my first posting, but I can’t. Here is a picture of my kitten instead
