Trump’s ongoing campaign against historical truth appears to have expanded. His administration has directed the removal of multiple signs and exhibits from national parks that reference the history of slavery.

@maddow.msnbc.com I love how you hightlight protest signs both serious and funny on your show. I’m sharing my protest graphic in hopes you’ll see it. Health (#ndph) prevented me from getting out in person today.

Just … almost, but not quite, incomprehensible.

Reprehensible in all ways.

My heart goes out to her family and everybody close who will carry this trauma always.

We will as a nation, too. But that level of personal trauma most of us can’t even imagine. And those who can? I’m so sorry.
It isn’t lost on me that the suspect in the assassination of one of the most prominent women in Minnesota politics had a target list with abortion providers and advocates. Misogyny is deadly. My heart is with the victims, their families, and everyone affected.

My health kept me from the protest I’d planned to attend, so I made a protest graphic instead.

To the tune of “Old MacDonald.” Verse by me, AI-generated image.

Immigrants? The elderly? Neurodivergent people? Disabled people? The poor? The LGBTQIA community? Journalists? Political dissidents? Even US citizens not “convenient, loyal enough, the ‘right’ kind”?

Truth? Democracy? Reality?

Eradicating them via Executive orders?

More like Execution Orders.

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.
A top scientist at Harvard who has spent years unraveling the mysteries of tuberculosis woke up Tuesday morning and discovered an order from the federal government telling her to halt her research.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I watched 12 Years A Slave yesterday for the first time. I cried and in the pit of my stomach, shame and grief wrestled.

Every time I see a story like this, I feel the same. Shame. Grief.

Also disbelief, naive as I realize that now is. How can this be happening? How do we stop it?

Since some at last weekend’s protest in Harrisonburg enjoyed my signs, I’m sharing them here.

I had plans for more polished versions but ran out of time.

I hope @rachelmaddow sees them. I love it when she shares signs!

Is Trump thinking he can line his own pockets with the money “saved” by slashing so many governmental positions *and* the tariff money allegedly paid by foreign countries but anybody with a brain knows we Americans pay as another tax? And *is* he? His cronies?

Tax cuts for billionaires & corporations are the biggest source of fraud, waste, & abuse by this government.

This blitzkrieg of nonsensical mass firings, services slashing, & shuttering departments & agencies isn’t making anything more “efficient.”

But then that’s not the point, is it?

The source of the biggest fraud, waste, and abuse in this country are the two billionaires in the Oval Office (well, one just a wannabe, maybe) taking a blow torch to the United States.

Anger in men = okay.
Anger in women = nasty, overly emotional bitch.
I was recently advised the best strategy for women during challenging conversations and meetings is to be emotionless and display flat affect, which I find incredibly frustrating because it explains how I'm punished for showing anger and frustration even when it's warranted

Absolutely.

And yeah - the people who need to hear this (and believe it) likely aren’t on BlueSky. Still, at least I feel less like I’m screaming into the void.

Rewatching the X-Files and remembering life in the 90s.

Now wishing I had Dr. Who’s Tardis to get back there, because I like that decade a lot better than this one.
