I miss Target. I didn't buy anything today. Last weekend I went to Canada just to spend money, most of it at Costco. I don't have a lot of cash but being intentional in spending is in some ways liberating. #economicblackout #target #enddei

My head swirls with so many questions. When is it time to leave? When do I need to pull all my money out of the market? What about high yield savings. My husband thinks I'm overreacting but I just know too much history. (2/2)

Last night was my third night of actual nightmares. First they come for the disabled and those lower in their hierarchy then they come for the academics.
Credible sources are talking about polygraph tests to determine loyalty of those in government government. Patel has a list of enemies. 1/2

Protests beget more protests as people see that its ok to express frustration openly.
Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Honest question: is it worth fact-checking folks on social media? I keep saying "cite your source" and posting legitimate data. Am I just wasting my energy? #misinformation #fakenews

i am 100% certain that they are weekend at bernie-ing trump and just handing him papers to sign, the content of which is determined by whoever happens to want something to happen
Trump just issued an executive order titled: ADDRESSING EGREGIOUS ACTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
It says "the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation"

NIH has cut billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

Let us not forget USAID is not completely altruistic. By funding help for other countries it prevents things like diseases from coming here.
Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

You know how airline passengers sometimes will overpower a belligerent asshole and detain them till the authorities show up?
Federal employees need to do THAT when King Karen Ketamine and his Hackstreet Bois show up at their worksites. Then call DC cops, the ones who lived through J6.
