AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Judge temporarily blocks Trump’s transgender military ban U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes said the policy is “soaked in animus” and discriminates against transgender people.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order banning transgender people from enlisting or serving in the military.

Insurance is another matter, though. The pharmacy already told me I’d have to pay out of pocket even if I was able to get the doctor to sign off on an early refill. Hopefully it won’t be too bad but I’d pay just about anything to not have severe daily panic attacks and agoraphobia. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was having trouble filling early like for instance when I’m going to be out of town for weeks at a time and found out it was the pharmacy and not my doctor. She was pissed when she found out and now adds some extra to my script to avoid this. That’s why I was mortified that I lost it.

I was freaking out about what they’d think of me, how I was going to manage work, canceling an upcoming solo trip, etc. I definitely won’t let this happen again.

I know one day won’t make a huge impact, but it’s good practice for future collective action!

She literally saved me weeks of agony, missed work, and a potential ER visit. Fortunately, this is the first time this has happened after years of being on this medication, so I’ve earned some trust. This is the reality of living with mental illness, even when it’s well managed. #mentalhealth

And the picture is creepy AI

I woke up in the wrong timeline last month and I can’t seem to get back, so here a something that brought me joy recently, to remind myself there is still joy to be found. I have no idea how he got himself so perfectly covered by that blanket, but he’s definitely comf.

The United Methodist Bishops must speak out clearly and forcefully against the widespread assault on the existence of our transgender siblings. The United Methodist Social Principles and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights give them the ecclesial and moral authority to do so. 1/2

Thank you. ❤️

We celebrated the Superb Owl by making owl art, looking up owl facts, and watching YouTube videos of owls (and that amazing episode of WWDITS). I’m so grateful my kids aren’t too adult for shenanigans. #superbowl

I resigned from my church because I am overworked (bivocational) and feeling so disillusioned with my denomination over the harm they’ve caused my spouse (also clergy). I didn’t realize the strong bonds I feel toward the congregation and the way their grief is also my grief. It’s weighing heavily.

This might be next.

“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” ~John Lewis

Don’t mistreat or oppress an immigrant, because you were once immigrants in the land of Egypt. Don’t treat any widow or orphan badly. If you do treat them badly and they cry out to me, you can be sure that I’ll hear their cry.

I’m limiting myself to 15-20 minutes of news per day to stay up to date. Just finished and holy f~<k what a ride.

I hate it that this word is even necessary but it’s accurate.

We’ve been trying for years to do this, but we are redoubling our efforts to participate as little in this rotten system as possible. Canceling Amazon, everything but public supported media, focus on local, second hand, DIY, etc.

Honestly, we should have done this in November but our lives were in such chaos then for completely different reasons that it got pushed to the side. The site was thankfully back up today.

The US passport site has been “under maintenance” for the past 48 hours, making the application form inaccessible. 👀
