The gleeful AI video of DJT spreading copious amounts of feces over protesters and the real demolition of the East wing of the White House are just two examples of them trying to get us down. We have to take time-outs for self-care and keep on getting back up again. You're right that it's very hard.

After the euphoria of participating in the No Kings protest on Saturday, I feel discouraged now too.

I love the design that the sunlight makes on the wall!

How awful for you 😥

Thanks for the rec. Just requested it at my library!

Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q Sutanto was great fun.

With this recent anti-abortion proposal, the legislators not only want to greatly restrict the ability to obtain abortions, but they have added "ballot candy" in the form of "protecting children from gender transition."

Yes!
