The song No Woman No Cry often makes me cry.

It's not that it has some sentimental meaning for me or anything. I think it's just my natural "fuck you, you can't tell me what to do" attitude.

Look, I know the weather's nice today.

But there is no reason for this mosquito to be trying to attack me like it is.

I only caught the last 30 seconds of that trump/ zelensky presser. That was enough for me to WTF all over the place. Not sure I want to go back and watch the rest... I'm sorry to the Ukranians. I just... what?

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country."

The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

Trump:

"I can tell you everything I've done for the last long period of time. More than a week."

I highly doubt that.

If Republicans in Congress want to find federal employees who feel entitled and waste taxpayer money without providing value who barely show up to work, perhaps they should start in their own caucus.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

The American Dream: now available for $5M! Trump’s Gold Card lets the ultra-rich buy U.S. citizenship, because why work for it when you can just pay? Merit is out, money is in. 🇺🇸💰

I am so glad that Tom is home from hospital. I love him & don't mind taking care of him AT ALL.

But, a reminder to all caretakers (& everyone) to take time to take care of you.

I'm digging out my arts & craft supplies. Creating a schedule to make sure I set aside some mental health time for ME.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

On the phone with my oldest just now.

Him: Do you think any of this will finally be enough to convince John Stewart to(pause)

Me: Do a full week?

Him, at same time: run for President.

Me: Oh, that too.

Him: A full week? Nah, I gotta bigger plans for this MF. C'mon.
