ICYMI, this month in @damemagazine.bsky.social I wrote about the jocular "Trump's bein' Trump!" coverage of our very sick (in every sense) president:

Why Is the Press Giving Trump’s Declining Health a Pass? - Dame Magazine

There is something physically wrong with President Donald Trump. He walks haltingly, speaks incoherently, forgets names and places and mixes up dates and statistics, making up numbers where none exist...

one thing that’s definitely new over the past decade or so is the number of bumper stickers and signs threatening to kill you

Here's what we're gonna do. Most of us. Instead of rage-posting memes and speculating about stuff we have no way to know or control. After today, here's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna plan for our most vulnerable friends and neighbors. We're gonna take care of the people on our left, & our right.

Credit where it's due.

We’re outside of the Broadview ICE facility.

It’s clearer than ever before.

What’s happening in Illinois is an unprecedented, unlawful abuse of power.

Which one is the perfect angel baby who's never done anything wrong and which one has a warrant in three counties for arson, fraud, and theft of a suitcase nuke?

If the protest doesn't have an official Protest Axolotl I'm not going.

Yeah, it's not like any of us have anxiety about anything right now?!!!!

The best is everyone nitpicking the weight limits and if they should be in a harness in the replies.

ISP really wants to get an elevated look here but they’ve been struggling to figure this out for almost ten minutes.

One protesters yells, “I’m certified if you need help.”

Unfortunately every newsroom contains at least one person who hates everyone else there and views this kind of thing as an opportunity to get revenge for perceived slights, as well as one hashtag girlboss who's gonna try to Gretchen Weiner this shit.

She's gonna last about a year and then flounce out saying everyone was too hard to work with and wouldn't pick up her dry cleaning which is a hate crime.

They're all leaning over it like they're making s'mores and I don't know jack shit about train engineering but it's not good one of 'em took a picture for his wife, right?

They are putting in an elevator and I could hear the expected date of completion make a whooshing noise as it flew by.

Everything is bad but this morning four guys working on my train stop opened up a huge hole in the ground, stood around it staring at it, and one of them just said really loudly, "Awww, shit, Jerry, I never saw that before."

Perry: The federal government is "temporarily enjoined from ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois."

That's it. Thanks again for following.

Tying health care to insurance and insurance to employment was one of the worst mistakes America has ever made and we have made some DOOZIES.

Allison Hantschel @allisonhantschel.com · 1d

Yeah, I don't get that at all either.

Some parents, I should say.

So now you've got regular normal fear for a child's future (will my kid be okay) being channeled into resentment and anger magnified by an ignorant ass media that doesn't privilege the voices of autistic people and lets others speak for them.

Allison Hantschel @allisonhantschel.com · 1d

Parents of autistic kids feel, honestly rightly, that the medical establishment doesn't respect or listen to them, especially to women, about their kids. Then that completely understandable feeling gets preyed upon by grifters who promise easy answers (it's the vaccines!) based on lies.
