This should be a MUST READ for every American about how our Oligarchy is rapidly destroying America from within. The gutting of Education, Social Security, FEMA, etc. are designed to break the government. The thought police are in control now. #resist

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

What have you been doing to feed your soul in the past week? I have hugged my dogs (and my husband!), ice skated, planned my garden, read poetry, taught a drop-in about silliness (literally!), and spent time with my favorite communities IRL.

Today I went ice skating for the first time in 25+ years. I didn’t fall! I couldn’t believe it! Apparently I have ice skating muscle memory…
I now have aches in my legs. I should probably have been using those muscles at some point in the past couple decades.

This is a fucking travesty.
We fought for years to make this office a reality and lives were saved because of it. Stay tuned because we’re not giving up on this. Trump might be okay with dissolving a life-saving office but the people aren’t.
