Trump will inherit a strong economy from the Biden-Harris administration. Don’t let Republicans confuse you about that fact.

Anyone NOT in DC: call your congresscritters and leave a message. You can do it right now. Simple script:
"DOGE is raiding the FDIC tomorrow. What are you going to do to protect our savings from Musk? Because it can't be nothing."
"DOGE is raiding the FDIC tomorrow. What are you going to do to protect our savings from Musk? Because it can't be nothing."
BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me.
FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

There is a vacancy for leadership in the Democratic Party.
It's a brand new ball game. Forget the old rules and customs. No one "deserves" anything due to age and seniority and donors.
It's up for grabs, Democrats. Time to step up. Whoever is a fighter will be rewarded.

Senate Democrats' decision to support the GOP's toxic Continuing Resolution will drive me to abandon the Democratic Party.
If you don't have the guts to stand on business, stop expecting my support.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:
He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.
He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.
He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.
Keep fighting.

I'm absorbing this advice and thinking about how to implement it. MAGA wants us terrified, overwhelmed, and immobilized by indecision...so let's learn how to manage our reactions instead of being ruled by them.

Stop asking where former Vice President Kamala Harris is, she was right there willing to save us all from impending doom and many people failed her in order to choose doom instead just to see others suffer. Leave her the fuck alone, she owes no one anything.

You might want to keep an eye on Trump’s executive order re: IVF affordability. It could either be a boon for people who want to be parents OR an express runway to Handmaiden-style surrogate farming. Possibly both?

I left a job at an NNSA site (national security laboratory) last year, handing in my security clearance as I did so. I'm suddenly MUCH more grateful that I left.
Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs. Incredibly, they didn't know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons.
Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say
Some of the fired probationary employees included on-the-ground staff at facilities where nuclear weapons are built.

All joking aside, the path we're headed down is widespread civil conflict. Official corruption is generally more of an accelerant than the curtailment of rights, though they often go hand-in-hand, as we're seeing.

I'm not watching the Super Bowl - I just keep checking the scores online, because I want to make sure that the Chiefs lose.
Good God, the Eagles are up 34-0 in the 3rd quarter?! That's amazing, and PRECISELY the kind of beating KC deserves. Don't ease up on 'em!

I can’t believe that I’m watching everything I ever worked for get sabotaged by Elon Musk and a bunch of baby tech bros.
I wish that I could join the protest in Washington DC tomorrow, but I am VERY concerned about what law enforcement might do to protesters. If you attend, please stay safe.

Here's hoping that we can all do so safely.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
