Marco Rubio will be in Quebec City 🇨🇦 Wednesday-Friday (March 12-14). Given the 🇺🇸 egg shortage, please place however many dozen eggs you can afford in a very hot place until March 11th and then hand-deliver them to the USA Secretary of State. Let the Trade War and threat of annexation yolk be on him.

President Trump has swiftly waged his war on the federal bureaucracy, defying norms and legal limits. He has terminated most of an estimated 200,000 government employees, and more layoffs are expected in the weeks ahead. These are the cuts and temporary removals we've confirmed. nyti.ms/4i6n9w4

That Trump is now calling Pres. Zelensky a “dictator” and it talked the U.S. into spending $350 billion (a lie) for a war Ukraine started (another disgusting lie) should remind you the White House occupant is mentally deranged and must be opposed at all times.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Are any other of my transgender family and friends all of a sudden getting notifications from the Selective Service? I don’t think that Musk was only after financial information. Gender markers and changes could also be accessed. Stay safe. He won’t stop with immigrants. I worry for you. I love you.

So, the great orange one agreed that he would help stop trafficking guns from the US going into Mexico. What about guns in our own fucking country! I am sick and tired of worrying every day as a teacher if today is the day. It’s all about fucking money. I’m sick of it.

This is my first post on blue sky. I need a moment to clear my head. I’m angry, furious, terrified, frustrated, and everything else that goes along with this new administration. I will tell you though, tonight I am just watching the Grammys on streaming. For now, music is saving me.
