So Facebook suspended me yesterday for something vague and unexplained. I largely hung on for my years and years worth of contacts on messenger (and some messages from friends and family that have passed). I'm deeply regretting not giving more people my phone number at this point.

This is you were supposed to do, @ossoff.bsky.social and @warnock.senate.gov . Not send me weak-sauce emails about how you just had to collaborate. Your duty was to literally collapse on the Senate floor rather than allow Trump's farce to continue. Take notes you bums.
New Jersey Sen. @corybooker.com is on the Senate floor, saying, "I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able" to protest President Trump and Elon Musk.

"Vice President JD Vance responded to media reports:'It is telling that the entire American media is going to run a propaganda operation today making you think an innocent 'father of 3' was apprehended by a gulag,'"

Except this was exactly what happened. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

Is it just me or does Adam Scott give young Alan Alda?

Yup. That's why they oppose them, of course.

“But, you know, to your point, I think you have to look at this with eyes wide open,” Ogles continued. “See what happened. You know, human error? Was it some sort of equipment failure? Did DEI play a role in this type of thing?”

Excuse me while I go punch a wall. 🤬

Why the fuck is a single Senate Democrat playing “everything is normal” by voting to confirm the Cabinet picks of a fucking dictator?

Do. Not. Comply.
You have ALL spent the last how many years calling him Hitler and now you’re like, ‘I’m a yes on Goebbels and here’s why…”

Fuck that.
Stop it. Now.

Yup.
Everyone was warned about this, and it’s happening just as we feared.

So Fort Lauderdale wasn't the most gluten allergy friendly city but I'm obsessed with the amount and variety of plantain snack products you can get. I might have a few bags for snacking on the journey home. 👀

"ICE says it has made 538 arrests so far..."

First they came for the immigrants.
Yesterday, ICE raided a business in New Jersey and detained both citizens and non-citizens — without a warrant. They even detained a U.S. military veteran.

Nobody is safe.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

I will defy. I will be loud. I will share information and counter disinformation.

But today I'm tired and sad. Today I'm still listening and processing.
1,460 days left till Donold leaves office.

What will you do with that time?

Will you defy?

Will you hold your own leaders accountable for their inaction?

Fascinating and kind of dystopian.

I love that I have a bakery in town that does gluten-free Fridays, but I don't understand why people feel the need to put sugar in cream. It's delicious just the way it is plus the pastry and any other filling already has sugar. (For context: today was a eclairs and cream puffs.) 😅
