Email sent to all CFPB staff this morning: "Please do not perform any work tasks."

I missed the booing. When he came on-screen I muted the tv and turned away. His face gives me nausea.

Welp . . .

St. Valentine conducted weddings in secret after Roman Emperor Claudius ll made them illegal. The emperor believed that unmarried men made better soldiers. So, it does have a good origin story at least.

I am interested in watching KC lose while I eat nachos and buffalo wings.

Sen. Gillibrand: If Trump defunds Dept. of Ed, N.Y. students with disabilities will lose support 'The Trump administration is stealing from our children, our teachers, and our families to give tax breaks to the wealthy,' said U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

Divesting the federal government of its role in creating educational opportunity for ALL kids? 525,000 New York students with disabilities could miss out on $984 million in annual support if Trump puts tax cuts for billionaires ahead of our kids’ future. www.silive.com/politics/202...

I KNOW. We always screw ourselves by taking the high road. At the same time, I just hate becoming like them. I feel like I am becoming angry and mean-spirited. Is that what it takes? I hate this! Thanks @greenilady for responding the truth, even though it hurts.

And yet we are somehow powerless against it. Why?!?

They are even ruining the Super Bowl!

I would be pissed if the tables were turned, so I cannot approve of this.

Nothing could please America’s enemies more than the ongoing destruction of the federal government.

Heard their national abortion ban has been introduced & is so far flying under the radar. Here it is:

I do not. If you do, please share!

I wonder if Target then intended to stop supporting Black designers and Black History Month. I wonder if we’ll see the Pride merch this year. Will their Cat and Jack brand stop making sensory-friendly clothing for kids on the spectrum?

I keep waiting to hear the f-ing plan. Who is our leader? Excuse my nerdy parallel, but who are The Jedi? It seems we have to form alliances in our neighborhoods first. Then our cities and states. It might be us, Anna. We have to make a plan.

Who is staying the path? Which sources can we trust? Why is placating Trump even considered worthwhile?

I turned off news notifications on my phone - an important step in reclaiming peace. I can check in once a day. Being in a constant state of political outrage does not serve my first grade students. They get all of me. If I am not regulated, they won’t be regulated.

Take a deep breath. We need our energy and emotions for the long haul. When easy things are made hard (on purpose), it’s hard to stay regulated. But we can’t let them tire us out with silly games.

Are they holding you hostage by complicating the process? That’s terrible. Good luck! #deactivate #delete

But he will have his henchmen act now and deal with the courts later.

I deleted my account on Elon’s first day.

I cannot repeat the physical and mental destruction I allowed Trump 1.0 to inflict on me. I have to find a balance between informed and safe.

It doesn’t matter what he confesses. He’s immune. Thanks, SCOTUS!

Thanks for sharing this important mindset. It may be a challenge, but I am on board.
