Overnight - signs for Allegator Auschwitz/Alcatraz went up in Florida and Trump wants MMA on the WH lawn.

Questions:
1. Do the protest numbers include US citizens overseas who protested along with other countries?
2. How many arrests were made per "each side?"
3. What do we do next to get the orange fungus out of office?

🧵1 / I'm against the idea of wishing someone dead. No matter how horrid that person is. I see many posts about wanting to see "his" permanent removal in some form. I'm not a fan of those thoughts. However, I have a theory that it will be one of his business partners that takes him out. Now that

I am attending a protest march on Saturday. The theme is backing those who have lost their jobs or have been negatively impacted by DOGE cuts. I'm thinking my sign will be "We're All Mad Here" from Alice in Wonderland, but the context is different.

Thoughts?

When I visited my mom this passed Thanksgiving, she brought up Trump and asked my opinion. I am the only non-Repub in my immediate family and, knowing her penchant for wanting to argue, I said I won't debate. She got pissed. I walked a way. The Rest of the visit was ok.

When I hear or see the name of the El Salvadoroian president Bukele... my mind calls him President Bukkake.

This name seems fitting. He's as bad as Trump.

What is bukkake?

Look it up - but not on a work issued computer/device. NSFW.

Warning - it's gross.

Because we're facing the end of the world as we know it... I've built a ramshackle raised garden box for potential veggies ("potential" because I'll probably starve due to non-green thumbs)

Made of found wood and wooden drawers from an old dresser.

Honest question: What happens after the marches today?

Like, what's next on the list to revolution?

I wonder if Musk is going to cancel those 2 large checks because of the loss in WI.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Unicorn hunting: Being a large woman with an apple shaped body = hard to find leggings that fit, not super expensive, available in the size I need & purchased from a "blue" store/co. Oh, & in colors I love (not just black).

When I start reading a book, I always have to check the Table of Contents for how many chapters it had. If there is no ToC, I flip to the back & flip backwards like a Manga comic & find the 1st page of the last chapter. Hopefully, the chapters are numbered.

I'm confused.

GOP Congress is not doing anything to keep Mump from dismantling the govt, yet they are complaining that if the Dems don't vote for the CR bill to keep government running through Sept, the govt will shut down & it will be the Dems fault.

??? What am I missing here?

How's Y'Alls boycotts going?
Mine is going smoothly. I don't even miss the places. I'm still broke. $780 for a garage door repair, but I had the funds due to not spontaneously shopping for stupid stuff.

Reading: Pope Joan
by Donna Woolfolk Cross

It is historical fiction based on a legend of a female pope circa 800s.

There isn't evidence of her existence except for a chair (located in The Vatican) that other popes had to sit on to prove his gender.

A good story & well written. Not for kids.

I've been vocal (elsewhere) about boycotting Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. The thing is, LinkedIn, PayPal, and some others are also all connected. Most I don't use anyway but PP & LI, I do use some.

I've just canceled PP. LI is next. That will be hard because of work stuff but I'll figure it out.

I'm reading Leilani Barnett's "Pray for Us Molly Irvins, Patroness of Progressive Women: Why a Trump Vote Feels Unforgivable"

I am reading it because I feel I need a butt-kick to activism as I admittently have become somewhat numb with current events.

This book is that butt-kick.

Blackout day(s) - be prepared for FB type posts from me (non-political and probably extremely mediocre).

Other thoughts: I hope that Verizon has a 150% contract buy-out/ETF clause with the FAA for canceling the contract in favor for Starlink.

Yesterday, I found out that some of our newly installed soft phones at work had my name as the outgoing caller ID. I have nothing to do with the application or anything other than some billing stuff.

No wonder people know my name and call me first in IT - The one person who isn't actual "IT."

Re: Big Corp Economic Blackout Day

ONE DAY won't make a difference, especially if you plan on shopping the day before or day after.

BUT you can make DAY ONE of this endeavor more meaningful by RETURNING returnable unused items for credit.

Good idea - freeze your credit bureau accounts so it would be harder for anyone to access and use your data.
