Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Having Mick Jagger show up at the Oscars and then explain he was there because they wanted someone younger than Bob Dylan was perfect. I have loved him my whole life and I’m so grateful he is still around just being Mick.#oscars2025

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Reporter: Why don’t you wear a suit at the White House?
Elon responded:
Oh never mind they didn’t ask the oligarch in chief, that question, it was the President of Ukraine. 😡😡

Is anybody out there? We had our first death from measles in 10 years. The meeting where our next year’s flu vaccine is decided was canceled today, and they pulled funds for the Moderna bird flu vaccine. Do they want all the die?

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

I have seen enough. Trump and his gang will not comply with any of the court orders. And nobody will make them.

I somehow got a ton of new followers. I mainly post about politics and my hourly freak out. But I also have Lucy. So here’s a cute picture to calm us all down and then we must continue to resist in every little way we can think of.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

I'm a property manager in the greater Sacramento area. I have several Housing Choice Voucher rentals and have not received the rents for my owners. Just learned that the US Treasury has held up the payments. So much for "read only access". I have written to my senators and other senators.
