For the record, I didn’t vote to kick out willing military volunteers because they don’t conform to my views of personhood when enrollment has been declining pretty much my entire life. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote for tariffs to be imposed with the expectation of a 10.25% increase in the cost of goods for American consumers, which is the White House’s figure. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote to levy tariffs of 10% against the Heard and McDonald Islands. Their only inhabitants of note are penguins who didn’t deserve that. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote for 10% tariffs against British Indian Ocean Territory, a territory whose primary inhabitants are US Servicemen at a US military base. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote to apply tariffs all over the world just because countries with less economic power can’t afford to buy as much from us as we do from them. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote for cutting funding and staff from the IRS, signaling open season for tax dodgers. This move risks further reducing essential government funds. #FairTaxation #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote not vote to rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote to give anyone the faintest impression that China not the US is the stable country now—the country that plays by the rules. #DidntVoteForThis

One unexpected consequence of Donald Trump’s presidency is that I’ve been getting messages from friends and family in other countries asking me to explain what we were thinking. #ItWasntMe

For the record, I didn’t vote to leak attack plans to the media prior to those plans going into effect because members of the executive branch are using Signal instead of the government’s secure communications app. #DidntVoteForThis

I realize now that I hadn’t read the full article and resulted in an inflammatory post. My impression is that the “Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act” of 2006 was the source of most of the problems with the USPS today, and cutting more jobs will not fix that problem. Nor will privatization.

The NPR podcast Trump’s Terms opens, including the quote of how America will “take off like a rocket“ and I can’t help but think of SpaceX this year. https://tinyurl.com/Rockets-R-hard #RocketsAreHard #GovernmentAreHard

USPS agrees to work with DOGE on reform, planning to cut 10,000 workers Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has agreed to cut 10,000 workers and billions of dollars from the U.S. Postal Service budget.

For the record, I didn’t vote for the USPS to sign an agreement with DOGE to slash 10,000 jobs. They’re already-understaffed. apnews.com/article/us-p... #DidntVoteForThis

Shocked. Shocked, I say.

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion. I don’t know a lot of people who think we’d be better off if our lives had more uniformity, inequity, and exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

For the record, I didn’t vote for someone who has filed bankruptcy 6 times to restore our economy any more than someone who has had to issue 8 recalls in a year on their newest vehicle to improve government efficiency. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote to declare 82yo Ned Johnson dead. Nor did I vote to get rid of his Social Security and Medicare benefits. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote for the executive branch to blacklist law firms for being an opposition to the 45th and 47th administrations. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote to have the executive branch defy the orders of the judiciary. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote to have tourists from countries generally allied with the USA, in possession of valid tourist visas, get scooped up by ICE. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote to rescind permanent resident status — a step required for naturalization — for exercising 1st Amendment rights. #DidntVoteForThis

For the record, I didn’t vote for declining civil liberties that have resulted in the U.S. being added to the Global Human Rights Watchlist. #DidntVoteForThis

Trump is singularly responsible for tanking the economy.

Launching an incoherent trade war and raising prices.

Threatening to upend state budgets with massive cuts to Medicaid.

Massive arbitrary federal layoffs.

That's all on Trump.

For the record, I did not vote to end publishing global air pollution data, which was one of the few areas where America remained the standard. #AmericaFirst #DidntVoteForThis

Transgenic mice are genetically modified for scientific study, not related to gender identity. They differ from transgender individuals, who transition genders. Let's clear up the misunderstanding and focus on the science! #ScienceMatters #BaldFacedLie

Trump rhetoric on Canada could harm tourism to the U.S. : NPR The Trump administration's attacks on its northern neighbor have been met with confusion and anger by some Canadians who are now cancelling their trips to the U.S. in protest.

This is a consequence of Trump‘s policies I didn’t anticipate. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/06/nx-s1-5316354/trump-tariffs-canadian-tourists #DidntVoteForThis

Your name in the Social Security administration database doesn’t mean you receive payments. If Trump and Musk are concerned, they should request the funds to update the government’s databases. #BaldFacedLie

The United States has given Ukraine aid totaling about $120bn, NOT $350bn. The EU has given about $138bn, NOT just $100bn — and that doesn’t account for non-EU countries like the UK. #BaldFacedLie

For the record, I didn’t vote to defund, NASA and funnel their monies to Elon Musk‘s companies. #DidntVoteForThis
