Therapist, advocate, parent, partner, partner. I’m lots of things. Most days I’m simply tired, sarcastic, and a little bit awkward.
Can’t afford pre k, Medicaid for poor children, food for poor children, housing for poor children, schooling for poor children - but $100k piece of junk for “recruiting” for ONE recruitment center in Hendricks Co IN - that’s not wasteful at all #FraudWasteAndAbuse #GovernmentWaste #EthicsWho

Musk's new department, which just seized control over payments as broad as USAID, defense, and social security, is presently livetweeting screenshots as they gleefully stop payments related to DEI, accessibility, and immigration. The account claims $1B in payments have already been cut off.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Actually, why tf is media giving him attention? How about we let the toddlers with adult money tantrum without attention?

The Internet is so good for stuff like mutual aid and keep people informed amid crisis. Like, when I feel despair--and these days I often do--it's a small encouragement to be reminded that when we are proximal to suffering, we are capable of extraordinary generosity.

Now that #meta and Marcus have removed protections, moving over here permanently. It’s a real danger when we start conflating abusive, dangerous behavior with “freedoms.” Absolutely NOT enabling a billionaire’s problematic bootlicking. #Freedom #FreedomOfSpeech #LookHereComesAConsequence

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
