Everything is extremely chaotic but the best info we have so far suggests that Trump’s “stop funding” EO would cover:

Medicaid
ESSA funds
IDEA
Snap
School meals
WIC
Head start grants
Child care block grants
Pell grants
Student loans
Higher Ed grants
Housing vouchers
CTE

Devastating beyond words.

Idk much about astrology and retrogrades and planet phases but I'm pretty sure the one bumming you out is earth. It's earth.

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

One thing that’s holding me together is the community I’ve found with a book club from my favorite independent book store. We connect in person, on social media, Fable and are planning a reading retreat in the spring. FIND YOUR PEOPLE. Don’t let the orange cult steal your joy. And support local.

Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape.

But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused."

More questions than answers. We can't rush his vote and trust him with our national security.

Make sure you buy banned books. Get a library card and borrow banned books. Read banned books.

Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩

Thanks for stopping by 💃
