I don't understand why Musk's government takeover and unconstitutional civil servant firings aren't at the top of every news site front page. The tariffs are obviously stupid and will get plenty of attention when prices go up. Grow a spine, Congress.

Margaret Atwood, one of my literary idols, frequently bases her fiction on real events. Other countries have suspended their constitutions. There's no reason it can't happen here.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

You know, if a small percentage of the US Electorate were just fine with a woman President, I'd be sitting here on a Saturday morning, enjoying my coffee, and not Doom Scrolling wondering what on earth is going on

Let me get this straight. While unconstitutional and illegal actions pile up by the hour, planes fall out of the sky, the GOP acts like a zombie army, and an unelected Nazi sympathizer loots the treasury...the Democrats' big solution is NARRATING so we know how bad things are? @schumer.senate.gov

Words of encouragement to my fellow awkward people who are too horrified, self-conscious, or overwhelmed to call their senators: it gets easier with practice. Ask me how I know.

Since the election, people’s opinions have shifted, and Meta appears to be restricting the ability to unfollow President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and First Lady Melania Trump. Thanks for following us here!
