I am giving myself the grace and space to bounce everywhere between enraged and disengaged.
Not because I'm unaware or uncaring of the inevitable horrors, but because I lack the capacity to focus on *gestures broadly* AND be a functioning, creative human.

@msnbc.com I just heard Chris Jansing use the term "illegals" instead of undocumented people.

Governor JB Pritzker just announced that Illinois will be defunding investments in companies controlled by El Salvador 🇸🇻 to punish the country for holding U.S. residents without due process.
This is what accountability looks like.

The right's entire persona boils down to "how dare you think differently than I do?" Not "my position is backed up by this quantifiable data" but "I think it, so it's true" and there is no convincing them otherwise.

Both conservative and liberal ideas are necessary for democracy to function.
Both are needed, and the tension between them is what drives most political discourse.
But MAGA is not conservative. It is a radical, populist, right wing, pro-dictator shit show.

Look ... the leopards are eating the farmers' faces. 🤦🏼♀️ Maybe STOP VOTING GOP and against your interests.
Wisconsin's farmers have been the backbone of our state for generations, and Trump's whiplash on reckless tariff taxes and trade wars are going to crush them. I'm urging Republicans in Congress to stand up for Wisconsin farmers and put an end to the chaos.
