Not sure indie subscription boxes will survive the oncoming economy storm so I wanted to share my favorite, the Bien Faire box from Chez Lapin Goods. Never fails to brighten my day when this box arrives in the mail! www.chezlapingoods.com/pages/subscr... #unboxing #Pittsburgh #bunnies #treatyoself

This one trick pony where the so-called progressives spend all their energy on hating their own representatives has to stop. It has never moved this country forward. We always lose when they do this. FFS, turn your fire on the opposition, FOR ONCE! Just try it!

Rob Palmer wrote an amazing Substack yesterday all about how the court orders work. Now, I think he might be a little bit optimistic about what the Admin will do, but I think this is a fantastic read to alleviate some of your fears and understand the system better 
Court Orders in the Trump v 2.0 era still are enforced.

Always grateful for the fact that I get to be on the planet at the same time as @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social. Take a look at her new newsletter, with today’s column featuring an interview with yours truly.

We are all capable of controlling the conversation right now. Each, and every one of us plays a role in making it harder for this administration to do what they want to do.
