It's not for me anymore,
The immensity of wild spun dreams.
I'll take the smallest life,
The littlest corner,
The softest peace.
Sighs instead of shouts.

I've become obsessed with playing Marvel Rivals. Obsessed to the point of hyper fixation, though unfortunately this time hyperfixation hasn't made me immediately good at it. Having to practice is weird.

EO 14281 appears to be aimed at reversing legislation that made it illegal for banks to deny credit or accounts to women. My mom was 18 when it passed, the 1st generation of women who didn't need their dad or husband to sign for them.
Now my niece may no longer have that right when she turns 18.

We must learn to be braver …
I curl my toes against the hardwood, anticipating ash
from this budding
new age, modern day apocalypse.
Each morning's a new dawn,
prepped and ready to bathe in blood
or instant coffee.

Some nights, all I want are forehead kisses
soft mingled breath
fuzzy blankets.
Then there are the nights I want you to paint me in salt and sweat,
to leave the sheets rimed with the swelling tide of our still hungry bodies.
You leave me so greedy, so tender.

Watch the moment history was made:
Senator Cory Booker has now broken the record for the longest Senate Floor speech, previously held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours 18 minutes).

We need a circulating list of every asshole Democratic senator who votes for cloture on this Republican CR. They absolutely should be removed in Democratic primaries. Including Schumer.

Between working a high stress public safety job, and being a mouthy socialist rabblerouser, I've been working with my partner on the lore and worldbuilding for a very smutty text-based RPG.
Sometimes nothing soothes the soul as much as kink and dark, dark romance.

We can start our primary list with these clowns.
Al Green is one of the most honest people in the House. The real crime here is that they all didn't stand up with him. Every last Dem in attendance.
And walk out together.

An outrage these Dems voted with the GOP to censure Rep. Al Green. The real question is why didn't every Dem rise up to decry GOP lies and assault on democracy?
Bera (CA), Case (HI), Costa (CA), Gillen (NY), Himes (CT), Houlahan (PA), Kaptur (OH), Moskowitz (FL), Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Suozzi (NY).

To see terminal decorum poisoning in action makes me want to bite something. The 10 Democrats who sided with the Republicans to censure Rep. Al Green are cringing cowards.
Every Democrat should have acted to have been escorted out after Green. Instead these vote with the traitors and fascists.

Targets of Trump's new, non-politicized Justice Department so far:
Democratic cities and states with sanctuary laws
Democratic states that let transgender women play women's sports
Recipients of climate change grants from the EPA
So that's going well.
