On Tuesday, Senate Democrats will investigate the Trump-Musk attack on American consumers.

I'm inviting Elon Musk. He owes the American people answers on why he’s trying to shut down the financial cop on the beat that prevents big corporations from cheating Americans.

Time for democratic leaders to step up, DO something. No more “I’m mad as hell” posts. We get it, you are mad. You know what? You’ve got the power to do something. We “regular people” don’t. If we try, we get arrested or shot. Do the job we elected you for. Protect the people, democracy and the US.

We? What are our elected officials doing to stop this? Pretty sure if WE tried to stop him we would be arrested or executed. He wasn’t elected. His henchmen weren’t elected. We, the American people can’t do this for 4 years.

New gym; the owner showed me the corner with the heavy bag and said “in case you really want to hit something”. It’s like she knows me already. Once I’m more comfortable, I’ll use the bag. For now, I’m focused on getting strength back. I used to be intimidating/muscled. I want be in fighting shape.

The White House is putting up barricades; are they afraid we are going to riot? We should. Is more terrible shit coming and the 🍊menace fears we are coming for him? Source Reddit; so take that info with a grain of 🧂. Media isn’t reporting shit. Anyone near the White House confirm this?

One of the saddest moments I’ve experienced sometime in the 🍊’s last campaign was realizing that we live amongst people who see others as beneath them. These 🍊 followers are devoid of compassion, empathy and integrity. 🧵

This is a floofy cat. I love cats. I want justice and more cat content.

A local democrat group is begging “good people” to run for local offices, I want to respond; “good people would run, if the people in our area weren’t horrible/sketchy/scary people who will slash your tires, menace you, steal your signs and defame you while you campaign.”

I’m just here for the social justice and your cat photos.

Fighting with transphobes on FB. When I cut back my META use, I will miss this: Re: www.newsday.com/news/nation/... my local news station posted about the trans ban. “Dan” mansplained how playing with trans women “actually hurt me as a cis athlete”- this was my response.

Day 0: they f*cked with older people, poor people, veterans and transgender people? Who is next? They don’t care about us, they don’t care about you. Isn’t this what we’ve be shouting about for months? When will people learn?

I deleted 3 of my 4 instagram accounts and one of my FB accounts today. I’m downloading the content from my main FB account shortly, then deleting 99% of the photos. I’m an admin on several community pages, I’ll have to figure out what to do about those. I don’t want to use meta platforms 🧵…

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

I forgot about this thing. Anyone else?

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

My week in cheese. Monday through Friday. #cheeseboard

A little about me in four photos; my past roller derby life, pottery from my intro class, volunteering at the zoo and my favorite animal- the red panda. My spouse and I have fed red pandas 3x. I hope I have to opportunity to feed more someday. #aboutme
