I keep trying to focus on what I can control because of the overwhelming state *everything* but fuck if it's not the hardest thing I've ever done
Paid off the last of my student loans. Too bad that polisci degree with my focus in constitutional law's application in administration means shit rn

A 4ft by 4ft raised garden bed made out of cinder blocks with various vegetables growing with minimal heat damage. Along the back are rough, wooden, 4 rung trellis. pre-fruiting Closest to camera is garlic, then clockwise are potatoes, carrots, cherry tomato's, a cucumber vine, then standard size tomatoes. The center is leafy buttercrunch lettuce heads
A potted strawberry plant with 6 green strawberries ripening among the wild grass growing in the lawn.
An arm holding up a heavy cherry tomato stalk with a combination of flowers and budding tomatoes. The tomatoes are marble sized at largest and still the green of the leaves, with the flowers stringy and yellow.
A hand holding down flourishing potato plant stalks, showing some of the potato tubers that are peaking out from under ground. There is a small sprig of carrot in the bottom left corner shaded from the sun and heat
World is currently fucked. Still fighting, but for a minute I want to at least appreciate that I have proof positive that I can feed my family and have enough to share with my community. White-knuckle gripping every victory I can get this month.
This SAVE shit is why when I got married I refused to change my name.
Still getting my passport though, you just know they'll think of something more monsterous because these fucks never got over being their parent's biggest regret
On top of the calls, emails and serving as more able-bodied friend's home base for things, another point of resilient resistance is now in place...planted most of my first veggie raised bed garden. (Tomatos got fucked by a cold snap, starting them over) Hopefully it will help keep us fighting longer

Dear Mass Media,
I would like just as much coverage of the war crimes as the crime of covering them up using fucking Signal, thank you. Both are important, and I need y'all to be more than glorified paparazzi for enough time to write two pieces instead of one "scandal" rag.
Accepting a position with this administration is an any-percent speed run to becoming a felon. The real thing to bet on is the cause. Gross negligence and incompetence took the lead.
You can always assume malace, but for betting purposes there's a split between intentional and non-intentional
Those sparks in the air make me feel the most patriotic I've been in years
Because you two are happy. That's my best guess.
I've seen too many people hate randomly because they want what someone else has and don't think the people they hate deserve what they have.
I'm from Ohio so...not great. Not a single attempt at an answer.
Having a hard time with cognitive dissonance today. I know nesting and picking out paint colors gave me some needed normalcy, but nothing *is* normal and shouldn't feel normal.
I know it's what my mental health needs to keep fighting, but it's hard for my brain and heart to just rest.
(below an image of a chicken) If your Republican member of Congress refuses to have a town hall this March recess, have one anyway. get the guide indivisible.org/muskorus
They can run but they can’t hide: Just because Republicans are avoiding their constituents doesn’t mean we can’t hold them accountable. Another congressional recess is almost here and it’s time to get creative: indivisible.org/muskorus
Says the generation that blamed mine for ruining the economy when we were 6.
Sorry I couldn't figure out how to fix the subprime mortgage crisis when I was watching Zaboomafoo I guess ☠️
And before you scream commie propaganda, it's a lemur and two dudes that teach about animals. Because we were 6
(next to an image of Trump pointing) THE REAL STATE OF THE UNION UNDER DONALD TRUMP (checkmark emoji) Inflation is up to 3% (checkmark emoji) Jobless claims are up to 242,000 (checkmark emoji) The markets are crashing after Trump's tariffs (checkmark emoji) 36 million Americans' health insurance at risk due to GOP Medicaid cuts (checkmark emoji) Social Security checks at risk of interruption (checkmark emoji) Airline safety and weather forecasts threatened by DOGE cuts (checkmark emoji) Veterans' services under attack (checkmark emoji) Deadly Measles outbreak
Remember: Trump has no mandate. His agenda is cruel, corrupt, chaotic, and deeply unpopular. And the longer it goes on, the harder it is to sustain in the face of real opposition. That’s our job now — to keep building that opposition.
Even though Republicans control the White House, the Senate and the House, we are still facing a government shutdown because the GOP can't get its act together. If Republicans want Democratic votes, the GOP must include ironclad safeguards to stop the Trump-Musk coup: indivisible.org/coup?source=...
We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.
In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.
A bold political graphic features Elon Musk and Donald Trump in black and white, positioned in front of the White House. Musk is making a Nazi salute, while Trump speaks with clenched fists. The phrase "NO KINGS." is displayed across the center in distressed typography, with "NO" in bright yellow and a small tilted crown on the "S" in "KINGS." The background has a torn-paper effect, and the bottom half of the image is deep blue, featuring the call to action: "Join us to fight back - indivisible.org" along with the Indivisible logo.
Your organizing is making the GOP nervous. It’s leading them to lash out. If they were secure, they wouldn’t care — it’s their weakness lashing out. And we love to see it. Let’s keep it up.

I personally consider the boycott a success because it was a baby practice action for people who have never done that before. People got on board! They got to feel what it was like! It was easy! And when they get asked to do something next, they’ll have an experience to build off of.
One president will go down in history as a hero who fought side by side with his people.
One will have any sane descendants/relatives looking into name change options to have a chance of escaping his "legacy"

A graphic titled "2025 Economic Blackout Schedule" outlines planned consumer blackouts. The word "BLACKOUT" is displayed in bold black letters with a crossed-out shopping cart icon inside the letter "O." A calendar and clock emoji appear in the top right corner. The schedule lists: Total Blackout (Feb. 28): No purchases at all, with a recommendation to buy essentials in advance and shop local if necessary. Amazon Blackout (March 7-14): No purchases from Amazon. Nestlé Blackout (March 21-28): No purchases of Nestlé products, including Gerber, Perrier, Chefmate, Purina, and Friskies. Walmart Blackout (April 7-14): No purchases from Walmart or Walmart.com. A sad face emoji is next to Walmart's name. Total Blackout 2 (April 18): Another full no-purchase day with similar recommendations. At the bottom, three sections encourage people to: Spread the word – by sharing the information. Prepare – by purchasing necessities before the blackout days. Spend $0 – by avoiding purchases on blackout days and shopping local if necessary.
This will not be the first economic blackout or the last. But it's a place for new people to start, and for others to continue their boycott.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

I've been calling all of my reps, and the first office to have an actual person talk back to me is from the Ohio AG's office. They've gotten a ton about the Muskiteens and I could hear the operator's immediate deep sigh when I brought it up.
It's moving the needle, every call.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.
Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!
Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…
It's a cliché, but do not give up hope and do not comply in advance. Form up with your neighbors, cut off the fair weather friends and the blood ties that betrayed you in choosing cheap eggs, hate and violence against your life.
Resist, do not comply in advance.Be the helper in the capacity you can
It hurts. It really fucking sucks and is scary. But we are not alone and we know the playbook they are using. We know what worked from history and what didn't.
They act like abusers and use abuse tactics because that is what they are. None of the writers of these rapid fire orders have been smart
