Wildfires, plane crashes, detention camps...There have been a lot of good reminders lately that a tragic fate may befall you at any instant, whether it's an act of God, human error, or malevolence. Treasure the present moment, be kind, and fight to change what you can.

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "
You get the point.
FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

A lesson from the TikTok Affair should be that bipartisan efforts to preserve U.S. national security are vulnerable to the incoming president getting bought off and switching sides for his own personal and political benefit. Not great!

My ask—stay aware. Take time later to learn what unfolds in DC. I saw a post on IG from Bernice King that I thought was perfect, and sharing a bit here. Take a moment…

As DHS secretary Kristi Noem will be responsible for FEMA
After a record breaking flood, As governor, she left her own constituents, high and dry w/out National Guard assistance, but she did send the national guard to the Texas Mexico border 1200 miles away at taxpayers expense—5 times!

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

So Trump is holding the Inauguration indoors at the Capitol because he says it’s too cold and he doesn’t want to see anyone hurt… Ain’t this the same guy who sit back and watched for hours while policeman got hurt at the Capitol? #CantDrawACrowd

Trump moved his inauguration indoors because he claims temperatures may reach "severe record lows," with temperatures in the 20s (those temps are nowhere near record lows).
Other presidents have held inaugurations outdoors with temperatures in the 20s, including FDR, Jimmy Carter, JFK, and Obama.

Ummm . . . "bad" isn't the standard to prosecute ANYONE. It's actually "criminal." Let's hope any future attorney general can keep those concepts straight.
Whitehouse to Bondi:
You’ve said you’re going to prosecute DOJ prosecutors and investigators?
Bondi: I said that on tv and I said “if they’re bad” they’ll be prosecuted.
