Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

A huge problem right now is that the media is credulously reporting that so many things Trump is doing by EO/edict/OMB or OPM memo is just the end of the matter, that he can do it by fiat.
That is not true.

the depressing thing about what's happening and to come is how fucking unnecessary all of it was. no war forced us into this, no massive recession. bunch of bored morons pushed the "break everything" button because of the man on the tv and the people on their phone told them, and people will die.

Kansas is having the largest #tuburculosis outbreak in U.S. history. Sixty-six active and 79 latent cases.
Gee, wouldn’t it be great if we had a #publichealth agency to track & report stuff like this?

supporting trans people is weird cause they don't like, need you to do anything? like they ask you to use their name when addressing to them and that's about it? maybe a hug? to eat something they baked?
like, it's significantly harder not to support them.

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.
Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

I feel like our culture is centered too much around “look at this spectacular idiot,” and should instead be refocused on “hey, check out what this person was able to do despite the fact that they’re a spectacular idiot!”
I think it would elevate the discourse.
