I mean, it's done, isn't it. The courts are basically powerless and Congress has surrendered. The functions of government aren't funded or working. Governors are scrambling to hold onto their fraying bits of control. But realistically, functionally, our government has collapsed.

Thoughts on EVs after 1 year driving one:
Everyone should switch. This is the best car decision I ever made. I'll never go back.
If you regularly take long trips, a hybrid would be a better choice, but it's rare for me to need more than 200 miles a day, so this is perfect.

My favorite *sarcasm voice* thing about having an ND family is reading off 7 different dinner options, and #2 won't eat any of them. #3 eats almost anything, and #1 basically just wants meat. Options included pasta, roast, burgers, Chinese, Tex-Mex, vegetarian....

Most unexpected side effect of hormone therapy? Dreaming. Like, I have *never* dreamt on a regular basis, and now I'm dreaming vividly almost every night. It's bizarre. Has anyone else experienced this?

This is what we need. We need our leaders to LEAD so we can support them. If our Dem leadership would take a hard stand, they would find an army behind them.

Trump is ramming his agenda through now, so he can’t be stopped later—shock & awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues.
Public opinion is against Trump & his policies—his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.

Social Security & Medicare are not safe.
Our savings are not safe.
Flying is not safe.
When you can die of a miscarriage, and 1 out of 5 pregnancies miscarry... pregnancy is not safe.
America is not safe without NATO.
Russia & China are thrilled.
We may never regain the trust of the free world.

MAGA morality: Put thousands of federal employees on leave, cut aid that sustains countless lives, demonize your opponents, and then enjoy the suffering of your enemies.
But then - when one DOGE worker is fired for vicious racism -say, "Where's the grace and mercy in this country?"
