Can’t believe the knives are already out in the stores. The Ides of March gets more commercialized every year.

Unclench your jaw. Relax your shoulders. Breathe in. Breathe out.
And take a read of this post I found on Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/TwoXPreppe.... I don’t necessarily agree with everything, but this is some good perspective.

Don’t lose hope.

And enjoy this cute video of a doodle getting dirty! 🥰

😂 Gov. Pritzker declares Lake Michigan is now Lake Illinois, says Illinois has annexed Green Bay

For the people who used to ask 'Why do you have to be so political?' I hope that it's now obvious why.

Healthcare is political. Housing is political. Education is political. The air we breathe, the water we drink —it's all shaped by policy and power.

Ignoring that is a political choice.

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today.

It's the little things. Microdose hope.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID.

Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server.

Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

So here is my retreat from the Metaverse, which shall henceforth be used only for business purposes. What did it?

Not the debate with the right winger about Muskrat’s intrusion into federal HR files. It was the “Like” one of his comments got from a woman I thought had some class.

“It sounds like Big Brother,” one NIH researcher said.

According to reporting by Science and email memos reviewed by Mother Jones, upcoming meetings where studies are officially greenlit were suspended. That puts new funding for all sorts of research, from cancer to the opioid crisis, on hold.
What the Hell Is Going on at NIH?
Scientists sound the alarm about Trump’s unprecedented “Big Brother” research crackdown.
