My kids are auditioning for The Sound of Music Musical. The company picked this show to reinforce that insidious facisim spreads like a virus through disinformation, cult mentality, and authoritarianism and it takes a huge amount of bravery, courage, and self sacrifice to deny and defeat it.

We see your Pro-Putin signs in your yard, in your driveways, and on your shitty, red, clown costumes, MAGA. We will remember this day and all the other days the Red Hats betrayed their countrymen and our allies.

Medicaid cuts gave one more incentive to ghost sickly and needy folks in the fam who voted against their own interests. We ain’t turning our extra space or corner into your hospice crash pad with FOX News blaring 24-7 and we won’t be throwing our back out to toilet you. We’re not your backup plan.

Private security firm in this case is code for militia. That’s what these people are and let’s call it out for what it is!

The art coming out of the revolution is inspiring. Tribute to BadCatGraphics for picking the American Grizzly Bear - an indigenous symbol of protection and general badassery - as fan art for the ALT National Parks movement. #altparkservice #badcatgraphics #resist #artoftheoppressed

If Bernie can go on a rally tour right now, think of what we could do! As a Hillary supporter, my first step is acknowledging Bernie shoulda been the one. He just doesn’t stop. Is it possible to “feel the Bern” in 2025? (without the insufferable, self-righteousness misogyny of some of the bros). 🔥💙

The Official White House X (Twitter) account posting an ASMR video of shackled immigrant detainees/prisoners is tasteless and designed to desensitize us to what we may do to our very own citizenry once Project 2025 is fully locked and in place. This should worry us all across all parties.

I literally thought this was a parody account, and being a researcher, I went digging before commenting. Sadly, this is the official WH FB account. Apparently, their social media accounts are being run by middle schoolers. How cringe. 🤮

I used to feel sorry for gullible people who got scammed and taken advantage of, but as George W. once said, “There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”

It’s my 4th day on BlueSky and I’ve learned that posting a photo of your cat is some kind of flex to find new friends. I present to you Sangrita, our beloved black beauty and mistress of the night. Next up, Cinnamon and then Squeaker is on deck. ⚾️

This is a problem, and has been a problem prior to Jan 20 of this year. The checks and balances of our democracy is under fire. We the people are not safe at this time.

Day 2 Bluesky Notes: 1. AP kicked out of press briefings, refusing to call Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Petty level: Mean Girls Burn Book. 2. American Bar Association issues reminder affirming Trump’s shenanigans unlawful. PSA by ABA is très chic. 3. Trump was NPC as Musk delivered TED Talk.

Living in Canada must be like living above an aging, long-abandoned, early aughts McMansion with a swampy pool precariously built on a crumbling hill just above a trailer park. Canadians have no patience for our bullshit anymore. Oh, Canada. 😢❤️🇨🇦

I gave this person a pass who blocked me in on my driver-side door in a parking lot today. I figured they must be disassociating like the rest of us.

Day 1 on Bluesky. I’ve learned several things: we’re in collective disbelief on how we are going about life while democracy is on hospice, Kendrick’s show was the intellectual assessment for the US, and there are a lot of nice cat people and landscape photographers here to cheer us up about it all.
