Daily routine of an elderly resister

1. Wake up (I'm still alive and still woke)
2. Check the headlines (He's not dead yet)
3. Check the weather (Freezing drizzle)
4. Caffeinate ☕☕
5. Get ready to impede, expose, ridicule, oppose the FOTUS and his henchmen.
6. Support the truth tellers.

You?

The pro-Nick Fuentes Administration destroying people and institutions on the basis of “fighting antisemitism” has me losing my damn mind.

The Nazi-sympathizers pretending to be protectors of American Jews has to be one of the most profound mindfucks in an era rife with them.

"Knowing where these whales live can help mitigate the potential harm of sonar by avoiding military training in important beaked whale habitats."

I'm old enough to remember when that still mattered. Sigh.

Some of my favourite blurbs on the subject of neutrality. Generally speaking, believing you’re being neutral when one side is clearly being hurt.. you aren’t. There is no neutral. You’re essentially just telling the bad side to carry on.

We must always clearly side with those who need us.

"Because they are inside a grift bubble," writes Snyder," [Trump and Vance] push for authoritarianism in their own interest, without reckoning with the possibility that their actions can wreck the country. For them, America is a limitless passive resource."

Breaking: A Utah judge just tossed out Republicans’ gerrymandered map and ordered a new map that will include a new safe Democratic seat.

Utah now joins California in helping to cancel out Trump’s gerrymandering.

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

Trump “told states that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families”

“States like NY, Oregon, PA and WI [had]raced to release the aid to residents, some of whom had been without nutrition assistance for days.”

So … let them eat nothing? 👑

Democratic Governor Tony Evers made sure Wisconsinites got their FoodShare benefits.

Imagine what a maga governor would have done 😬

Keeping a Democrat in the governor's mansion means keeping hungry kids -- and all other needy folks -- fed. It's not an abstraction
