This make you uncomfortable? Good! Because this isn’t history, it’s reality and what ICE has normalized.

As Project 2025 advances, Democrats have no clear message, no clear response and no clear person leading the party. This is absolutely unacceptable.

So let’s instead discuss what we as ordinary citizens can and should do. Because sitting idle isn't an option.

Giving my pet snake an antibiotic injection every 72 hours for 4 weeks was not on my bingo sheet this year. Here’s to the next month 🥂

I got a lot of messages this week from people who are absolutely overwhelmed with everything going on.

And they wanted to know what I am doing to deal with it. If that sounds familiar, I hope this resonates with you. I would love to know if this helped you in any way

I've gotten a lot of messages this week from friends saying it's all too much, that they can't deal with what's happening, and they want to know what I'm doing... if that resonates, this is for you.

If you’re like me and learn through pictures, here’s a helpful one from @cfr.org (education.cfr.org/learn/reading/what-fascism)

Pretty sure we’re in stages 4 and 5.

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel.

I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times!

Pls repost 🙏❤️

Drives me crazy. If you don’t want to fight say so. Stop trying to discourage others from doing the work you’re too jaded to do.

You try 50 times and win the 51st. That’s how it works. Progress happens when you find ways to make it matter. And sometimes it’s just your persistence.

People “don’t believe in abortion” and are “pro-life,” except when it comes to their own healthcare. I see so many pregnant individuals justifying to me why it’s okay that THEY are choosing abortion, but they don’t believe other people should also have that choice.

It is infuriating.

If you need a brief mental distraction, just remember that an unfertilized ostrich egg is a very large single cell.

If you’re like me, that should keep your brain occupied for at least a few seconds.

I was certain that this was photoshopped as a joke to make fun of how absurd Trump’s executive orders have been already. Like, can you imagine if this was real?

Woke up this morning, and in my haze of poor sleep, thought for just a moment that all of this was simply a social experiment.

Unfortunately, it was not.

Many people are waking up in a vastly worse world than what they fell asleep in—that is, if they were able to sleep at all.

Today was, in every way, a brutal lunch to the gut. A reminder that authoritarianism is weaponized abuse meant to wear you down and destroy your hope.

Drink some water. Get some rest. Practice self-care. Ground yourself in your principles. We will defeat this. Not tonight or tomorrow. But we will.

What really solidified the pure insanity we are living in, at least for me, was not only the instant attack on human rights and the government being bought by monopolies, but that placing an American flag on Mars made the top in the list of to dos.
