Mom. Professor. Over-stresser. Perimenopausal. Empath. Impatient. Where is there a quiet dark room I can hide in?
This Independence Day weekend, remember to fight the tyranny of subsidizing tax cuts for the super rich!

He’s really trying to impoverish the poor and working class.
Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today:

He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution

He’s fine with a recession

Americans can do with less

Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

2025 things I did not sign up for:

“Styling” my houseplants. When did keeping them alive and healthy stop being enough?

Cashew cream on everything. It’s good, but it’s not cheese, and you can’t make me think it is.

The attack on “meno-belly.” Get away with your fake wellness body shaming!

I still don’t understand why there’s not more outrage at the blatant falsehoods: “we have no control at all over these people we threw in a prison on El Salvador.”

You’re paying El Salvador to keep them there! Stop paying. Pretty sure that gives you some control.

You know what’s fun? Antihistamine-included heart arrhythmia right before an intense meeting. 0 out of 10.

If I hear one more NPR host ask a guest “Is this kind of thing normal?” I’m going to scream.

No. It’s not normal. It’s authoritarian, it’s inept, and it’s a freaking Constitutional crisis.

Total violation of the constitution and current law.
ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.

If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

Trump has ordered the US government to move forward with plans to mine the ocean floor an area nearly every other country considers off-limits to industrial exploitation. His executive order sidesteps a decades-old international treaty ratified by every major coastal nation except the United States.

38 of the 43.

"38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic.

"The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..."

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards
Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the United States government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia home from prison in El Salvador. Donald Trump is blatantly ignoring and denying the ruling. Yes, we are in a constitutional crisis.

What the absolute…When we will stand up and say these policies are based in Islamophobia?

The worst part is, no matter what happens they’ll just say “that was our plan all along!”

UConn AAUP is holding a demonstration on April 17 against the federal attacks on higher education. UConn would not give us a permit, citing the new policy on noise during daytime hours, which was hastily created after the pro-Palestine demonstrations in spring.

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Where are y’all’s protest photos? I want to see them!

Some disenfranchising nonsense.
Let me break down the SAVE Act, which Congress is voting on this week.

The CDC has literally been gutted today.

There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet.

Thousand of scientists fired.
Entire departments erased.
