Much of what I love and value is going away (not even mentioning all the safety nets) - gaming, national parks, higher ed, public health, fresh food, solar energy, restaurants, research... It’s unfathomable this is what 50% wanted. These things are a benefit to all.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.

H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Am I doing something wrong? My LG washer gets nasty black mold buildup all through the auto-dispenser that I have to spend about 1.5 hours trying to get as knocked down as possible about 3x a year. It’s gross and annoying. Wouldn’t buy again…

The reason there are a lot of court orders telling Trump he can't do things is because he's been doing a crazy huge amount of illegal shit in his first three weeks in office.

This isn't rocket science. It's basic physics - action and reaction.

Remember, everything is part of the same story.

They need to destroy our democracy and crush dissent because letting billionaires take over the government in order to steal from us isn't popular and a functioning democracy wouldn't allow it.

I love the USPS. I’m amazed every time when packages to my fam get to rural Northern MI in 2 days!! It’s a perk I’m glad to pay taxes for. Plus, Grandfather was a worker.

IRS was preparing to try to reject this request, but was able to negotiate with the Trump admin to narrow access.

Now DOGE will get the same access as academic researchers and some IT professionals, per sources.

Starbucks Story - As I was pulling into Starbucks, I stopped for a woman sort of hobbling across the crosswalk on her way into Starbucks carrying a baby wrapped in a lovely pastel hand knit blanket. After I parked and grabbed my mobile order, I came out and discovered she had been parked next to me.
