I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

I don't want to touch grass... I want to prostrate myself on the ground, and dig my toes and fingers deep into the ancient soil from which the eldest trees grew, and turn my ear to hear the very heartbeat of Mother Earth.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I am convinced that anyone who is not grieving over America right now is either too mentally impaired to be aware of what is happening, or they have reached a point of emotional impairment and callousness that disallows them to feel basic human empathy.

I can also attest to this being a useful guide, having been raised evangelical fundamentalist myself. Sometimes you fight. But sometimes you have to blend in and survive. Here's how.
Here's a guide for pretending to be Christian in a Chistofascist government. (From a former born-and-bred-fundamentalist-to-progressive-Christian-now-atheist)

Donald Trump claims he will make Martin Luther King Jr.'s "dream come true."
The party screeching about DEI is going to tear his legacy and dream to shreds.
Donald is appalling.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.
This is the precedent.

I stood outside breathing deeply of the frigid air, revelling in the shock it gave to my lungs, and feeling more alive with each breath. The sun, bright against my closed eyelids, soaked into my skin, recharging my body.

I call it, "no, this is Mommy's drink" 😂
3 parts Peach Apple Juicy Juice
2 parts Peach Schnapps
1 part Malibu Coconut Rum
You could play with flavors and amounts here obviously, but this is exactly how I make this and it really ticks all my boxes. Fruity, sweet, boozy but not overwhelming. Perfect.

I get a little down during holidays. Maybe part of me hates being told when to be happy. Your guess is as good as mine.
This year it hasn't hit me yet. But my thoughts are with the quiet ones - the ones who feel alone in a crowded room, who know solitude as an escape and a trap.
We'll be OK.

I go to the forest to sit by the stream and listen to the melody of the water rippling over the rocks and the rustling leaves as the breeze hurries out of the trees to playfully tease my hair.
My soul is at ease.

I'm not having much time for social media lately, but I'm glad I have this place to come to when I do need a few minutes outside my little bubble.
