So many things have happened in the past week, and I'm still exhausted. We said goodbye to our 15 year old cat Ares, and my parents adopted a puppy who we named Winnie during their visit. My derp Edison celebrated his 2nd birthday too. #cat #puppy #lab #bordercollie

Such a brilliant idea!
Today's tip: For many years now, when I pull an idea out of a book and write it in one of my journals, I also include the name of the book, the author, even the page if it's a quote. It helps me find it again & also to give proper credit when I use it elsewhere.

Please help save the USPS from Fanta Fascist! My husband is the main breadwinner as I am a FT student, SAHM, homeschool, and have MS. If he loses his job, we could lose everything. #saveusps #ruralcarrier #sahm #student #fightnazis

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

It was 5⁰ when I got out of bed at 7 this morning and barely warmed up. Our pigs Mabel & Waddles are not fans of this weather, but loving the sunshine.

My Grandfather did not get shot in the head, paratrooping into Nazi Germany, being awarded the Purple Heart, to see the United States become the very thing he fought against. He didn't dedicate 26 years of service for this shit. #whereiscongress #democracy #saveAmerica

I have 10 months left until I finish my bachelors in Integrative Health with an herbal medicine specialization, and I can't do that without the Pell Grant 😭
Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

It’s the job of every congressional democrat to grind the gears of government to a stop.
Right now. Block everything. Slow walk every committee. Call every vote. Filibuster every post office name change.
State Dems need to build parallel institutions to protect the people at home. GET TO WORK.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. We're going to have to get hyper local in order to survive this insanity. Get to know your neighbors, farmers markets, farmers, herbalists, birth workers, backyard chicken gurus, gardeners, on and on. 1/2

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

Feeling slightly paralyzed by watching what is happening to the United States. We were always taught to be patriotic growing up, my maternal grandfather having fought in WW2. However, this is a travesty. It feels like we're watching the collapse of the United States.
