As all this happens, take care of yourself. And also—alongside the fear and numbness that may be creeping in— find a space for fury at what they’re going to do to this country that we love, and give yourself room for hope.
A space for fury and room for hope. My mantra for the next four years.

We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

Always the voice of reason. My President!!
OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

I’m not taking medical advice from a lunatic who suggested we inject bleach into our veins. Hard pass.

If the Rapture only happened to people who believe it is a real thing, this would be a much more pleasant and sane country to live in.

This is not great!
Under Donald Trump’s economy:
Coffee is up 26%
Beef is up 14%
Oranges are up 17%
Bananas are up 6%
Chicken is up 6%
Chocolate Chip Cookies are up 5%
Potato Chips are up 4%
Milk is up 4%
But average worker pay is only up 2%
Trumpflation is eating up your paycheck.

Hiding the truth.
I would cancel @washingtonpost.com, but I already did. Shameful!
Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Unbelievable. Unacceptable.

What's next? From today: "Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."
“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”
“In sadness, I dissent.”
“With deep disillusionment, I dissent.”

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

Just saw a couple National Guard soldiers hanging out in the shade by the Exorcist Stairs in Georgetown. Asked them if they were hiding to avoid doing “work” they didn’t sign up for. Tbh I feel bad bc you know they don’t want to be here either.

She said she made it 21 years but that’s long enough to know this is bullshit.
In my 53 years I agree.
They’re dehumanizing us.

Be like NY.
Hochul: "I will put saving democracy as my top priority at any cost. Bc it's under siege. Just like those who put on uniforms to fight battles across the ages. For centuries we stood up & fought. Blood has been shed. This is our moment in to stand up for all we hold dear & not let it be destroyed."

Some people really need a history lesson!
Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.
