There’s only so much we can take. We are not asking for Trump and his administration to listen to the American people. We are demanding that he listen. HANDS OFF OUR DEMOCRACY! April 5th.

I'm struggling to do everyday tasks like reporting for work and house chores because we now live in a authoritarian country losing freedoms by the minute.
Help me out here. Is this just a me thing or is this universally felt?

I'm surviving only because of my supportive partner. He gives big hugs, listens to me rant, pulls me out of dissociative trances, and reminds me to eat. Best apocalypse partner ever.

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself
not trying to pick on this guy. this just reminded me that the federal government does not provide coffee to workers. to drink coffee at a federal office you generally have to pay into a "coffee club" that is managed by a staffer who volunteers to collect money and purchase a monthly coffee supply.

And who determines what the executive’s legitimate power is, JD? The executive?! Come on.
Let me put it in terms you’d get. It’s like football. The judges are the refs, and they say whether you’re in or out of bounds. And Musk is waaaaaay out of bounds with these takeovers of our systems.

"If there's nothing to hide, hide nothing." Doge is not a Senate confirmed department. If what they're doing is legal, there should be no issue with giving Americans full transparency and evidence of fraud behind the dismantling of agencies. Fraud where? I think I found it.

Question, once we defeat the fascist billionaires, can we create like 3-5 new political parties? Just table this for later, but I wanted to throw it out there.

I got a phonecall today from someone concerned about my mental health during all of this *gestures at everything*. I haven't stopped crying because it's the support I needed. Check on your friends, y'all.

I cancelled Audible and downloaded Blackstone Unlimited thanks to a partnership with our public county library. Not all socialism is evil, but it does keep money out of billionaire pockets! Now listening to 1984, just because.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
