The admin really really is invested in killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
I know Trump won’t be alive in 30 years to see the consequences, but my sons and grandkids will be.
And we are letting it happen.
History will show us as the idiots we are.

I always considered myself a libertarian politically, but voted for democrats mostly.
I will vote for anyone who can win against MAGA candidates until MAGA is no longer a thing, or until I am dead, whichever comes first.
Still here. Still mildly annoyed at being added to skywatch blue’s follow-farming moderation list.
Still watching baseball! Tho SAD that my Yankees showed so poorly post-season!
And I just want LA to lose now.
So apparently creating a bluesky account eons ago and then not using it much qualifies as follow farming?
Smiling baseball fans in the stands on a sunny day at Target Field
Meanwhile, I am enjoying the MLB season via the MLB network app on my FireStick, and going to games when I can. This is me surrounded by 2 of my sons and 1 of my daughters-in-law, at Target Field last Sunday:
I suck at all this; but am doing it because that turned a $20K project into an $8K project, and we only had 2 bathrooms with bathtubs w showerheads. I am getting ready to need a handicap-accessible shower in however many years it takes for that to be a thing. Plus, I will enjoy it once it is done.
I am working on drywall in one of our 2 bathrooms, and also the ceiling. We gutted it, had a plumber redo the pipes that will go to the new toilet, pedestal sink, and walk-in shower, and I need to do the ceiling, walls, floor, closet, mirror, and trim before I have them put in those fixtures.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s surprise announcement ending coronavirus vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women blindsided the agency, according to officials.
Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE.
Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings.
This mess is escalating fast.

Bravo! 👏
More of this, please.
They’re not banning books because they’re dangerous—They’re banning them because they expose the truth.
📚 Erased tells the history they tried to bury—& now they’re coming for it. If it’s “too dangerous to teach,” you need to read it.

This is the best team crossover video I've ever seen.
My heart hurts
My head hurts
And I’m pissed
And scared
I am still following politics & doing what I can (boycott participation, etc); but still pretty burned out.
So baseball spring training is rolling, and I need that bit of joy and relief!
Switching my focus for a bit!
How do I watch Yankees spring training games?
I have a MLB network membership. There?
Or?
It is free with ads on youtube, (or without ads if you are subscribed to youtube music.)
So proud of Noah, the 5th of our 6 sons!
If you like rap, you’ll like the whole album if you keep in mind that it starts with hopelessness & addiction and the tracks move through that chaos & disorder to “hitting bottom” & his intent to stop drinking & using, then to that difficulty, & to recovery.
Today In 1951: New York #Yankees manager Casey Stengel talks to the rookies at spring training camp in Phoenix, Arizona - including 19-year-old Mickey Mantle! #MLB #Baseball #SpringTraining #RepBX #History
Walmart and Target. Boycott.
So where do we all get our main news?
I am trying to limit how much I see, because I do not want to die prematurely of the high blood pressure it stirs up in me.
I look at Apple News.
I am watching Rachel Maddow on MSNBC right now. I am glad she is back (for a while.)

An update on the TikTok situation from our monitoring on Reddit. Now you get TOS'ed for saying negative comments about meta and Zuckerberg, left-wing politics get flagged as misinformation, and you can't tag #fucktrump #fuckelon or #fuckmeta but you CAN tag #fuckbiden and #fuckkamala
Unbelievably petty! The Spanish language version of the White House website was deleted after the inauguration yesterday.
Look what happens when you hit the “go home” button!
Highly recommend to follow @listifications.app. Thus, you get a message if you are blocked, added to a list, etc. Sometimes strange but also interesting 🤗

Thank you Joe Biden.
Pass it on.
