Reminder that it is your *obligation* to refuse an illegal order. If you're not sure if an order is illegal, ask for clarification about the specifics of the order.

This hotline is not run by the military, making it a great resource for service members in these tough situations.

As a forever horsewoman, I would absolutely be tricked into petting a Kelpie.

I've been feeling pretty inspired lately to run another Dungeons and Dragons one shot soon. School has certainly taken a lot of my mental capacity, but I am itching to run another game.

Very mad

I am so embarrassed that he's one of my representatives. Ugh. He's shut down his phone line because he's been getting so many calls. As bad as the Republicans who are avoiding their constituents.

I made the mistake of looking at my 401k a couple weeks ago. I don't recommend looking. Ouch!

This is a different kind of spam mission. Instead of filling up the box with fake shit, I want you to put in your real data. We want to flood them with real request. We want to bury them in admin shit! They legally have to answer you! Enjoy my friends.

I might as well head them off at the pass on their next one, since it's inevitable.

No, people in the U.S. illegally cannot collect Social Security or SSI. That's a lie that's somehow become "common knowledge" to dumbfucks. It's absurdly untrue.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Remember tomorrow we don’t buy from anyone except small businesses!

I love reading dystopian novels, but right now, I just can't read them. Living in such close proximity to a dystopian future here in the US has really put a damper on reading dystopian books. I guess I'll stick to some historical romance and cozy mysteries for now.

Great point.

I'm going to drink my mother fuckin' tea while I call my mother fuckin' representatives to tell them to do something about this mother fuckin' fascist takeover of our government.

I feel that. I am trying to find some pleasure in reading or painting, but instead I just doom scroll to keep up to date on what is happening to our country.

Be cautious on social media—fednews is being monitored.
