“Jesus. …Fuck.” pretty much sums it up, yes. I wish there was any way we could stop it, but I can’t see how. Every safeguard has failed and is gone. Here we are.

Then we are now absolutely in a constitutional crisis.

🤦🏻‍♀️

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Pay attention, women: If they'll let you die from a miscarriage, they sure as hell aren't going to let you go to Town Hall and have the "wrong" opinion.

Pam Bondi Instructs Trump DOJ to Criminally Investigate Companies That Do DEI Civil rights advocates may well file suit immediately against the Justice Department to secure an injunction.

The delight on these villains’ faces. Every policy is intentionally cruel and benefits only rich white men, or 1 out of the 3 pictured here. This administration fiddles while everything else burns.

I am guessing that the people who complain bitterly about looting are the same ones who think that what Elon Musk is doing to the federal government’s mission-critical systems and our data is perfectly OK.

TikTok shut itself down for a day to give free promotion to Trump.

Biden chose not to enforce the ban and Trump hasn’t been sworn in yet and hasn’t done anything to reverse anything.

This is just the Chinese manipulating Trump and Trump now loves China.

America now has a China First policy.

So very glad I cancelled this nonsense.

Oh no, the taste of despair! I hope you had a better breakfast today

Drones are big talk here in Connecticut

I haven’t watched it in years. I don’t miss it.

This was once unthinkable, but today this is a perfect rendering.

Oligarchs need 3 groups to control the U.S. political discourse:

1. "Media" to amplify their policies.

This time around, the Kennedys are assassinating us.

Good lunch

As I start to pull together info for financial aid forms for college for next year, I wonder: How will student financial aid work without a Dept of Education? I guess it won’t, right?
