I took a break from posting and looking at social media.
But then they met with Zelensky and embarrassed our country.

The only good thing to come of it,is it appears that Europe is rallying behind Ukraine more than ever. Hopefully, Ukraine can ride that wave into some semblance of peace. Hopefully.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ?

Then releasing it as if they discovered it ?

Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me.

Very Trump like too.

Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

I'm exhausted and overwhelmed which is what they want. It's just so much insanity all at once.
I'm donating. I'm calling. I'm doing what little I can.
Something's gotta give soon, right? It's only been a month!

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.

I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.

Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

To understand how an attack on birthright citizenship will be carried out, let alone prevail, it’s important to know what stands in the way of it.

@isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social reports on the playbook, decades in the making.
The plot against birthright citizenship
The incoming Trump administration wants to take away citizenship for the US-born children of undocumented immigrants. Here's how.

The world needs more people like her. People who are willing to speak up when they can. People with courage and heart.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

All just a bunch of bullshit and bluster right now. A lot of "look at this hand while I fuck you over with the other hand".
I'm going to take a breath for a couple of day or so. Gather myself. See what's what, and then get back to the fight.

This sucks, man.
