Welcome to the survivors' club (My brother ended his life at age 25): it sucks. May you find peace and forgiveness moving forward in your own life. It took me many years to understand that my brother found an end to his intense pain, and I could not have saved him. Be well.

Here in the US we are boycotting Meta for the week of May 5-11. Some of us may extend that. I know one person who deleted their Meta account.

Autism is NOT a disease. Measles, mumps, and rubella are. Vaccinate your kids.

Those who don't study history are going to repeat its tragedies and offenses. Let us remember those who fought for an end to an unjust war.

One could fill all the libraries and museums of the world with what ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ’ฉ doesn't know. Oh wait... he just ordered them closed and defunded.

His ignorance and corruption, and reliance on those around him who are just as ignorant and corrupt have harmed so many already. Buckle up for more to come.

Give to your local shelters. It does more good than giving to the ASPCA.

Rather than posting about the next awful thing this administration has done, I want to boost those people and organizations that are trying to work for the common good. Join me.

Chart shows the comparison of the US dollar to Euros, with a precipitous drop recently.

Here in the US, gas and groceries cost more. Tariffs increase our costs. Overseas, our buying power drops.

Are we great yet? Asking for my friends...

Well... if they hadn't been eating all the cats, we wouldn't have an overwhelming number of transgender mice...

Actually, mice are transgenic, used in scientific research. People who don't understand science should not be making policies about science. They should STFU.

Why support unhinged, morally bankrupt billionaires? I have been wondering that myself. I want to redistribute their wealth to cover things like cancer research, aid for poor countries, national parks, and other services they deem unnecessary. They themselves are unnecessary, selfish, and cruel.

We love Canada, too, and are beyond sorry for the crap from our "president" that creates such bad feelings between neighbors. We want him GONE, and peace between allies restored. Please take care of yourselves, and know we wish you well. Hoping this madness ends soon. Love from the USA.

The current administration is doing all it possibly can to make sure this happens. We will not comply. We will resist. They do not carry out our wishes.

[DOGE is] about efficiency in the same way that the "Ministry of Truth" in Nineteen Eighty-Four was about truth. ๐Ÿ“š

So says Rebecca Solnit in her newsletter called "Meditations in an Emergency." Get it. Read it. Good stuff from a strong voice for the resistance.

If you have not yet subscribed to the newsletter called Meditations in an Emergency by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social , you need to find it and sign up. Highly recommended and worthy of your time!

And what was he doing, spending millions to go to a game when he has a job to do "governing" the country? Did he even know where he was? Word is he left early. If ever there was fraud and waste, this would certainly look like it. Where was DOGE (pronounced douche)? More BS. ๐Ÿคฌ

I don't know how you feel about this, but I had a negative, visceral reaction to seeing the chief felon with his hand raised in a salute during the national anthem. Here is a guy who had five deferments for bone spurs, who calls those who have served "losers" and "suckers". I'm not buying his BS. ๐Ÿคฌ
