Even if pregnant women know they can take Tylenol, an abusive spouse could withhold it, claiming Trump himself condemns it. As always, MAGA/MAHA is ammo for abusive men.

Agreed. My fear is that the mob will go after Democrats in Congress thanks to right-wing propaganda. 😢

Laughing while 40 million people go hungry is a really cool way to *checks history notes* be pulled out of your castles by the mob and murdered.

What would happen if people dressed up exactly like ICE and went after ICE? How would anyone know who was who?

Just in case no one around you is saying is out loud right now:

Things are shitty, the vibes are horrific, you aren't seeing things that aren't there, you are the one having the appropriate response to what is going on.

This is not to be a downer, but to acknowledge reality when so many wont

I was meditating on the motivations of evangelicalism (bc tbh true belief is not really so far from my view).

Believing in God (esp Jesus) is a group signal that you fear the same things (like doubting God or existence of real right and wrong). I think being "forgiven" is a legit experience bc...

I woke up laughing at 3 am. Some dream character was rattling off a witty rhyme. I wish I could remember it, but it was a nice break from montelukast nightmares.

I agree, let's deport violent criminals who shouldn't be here. Deport ICE!

My German Shepherd has a cute habit... She will not eat her food until she finds one of her old, chewed up tennis balls, gnoshes it a few times, and drops it into her bowl. Then she eats around it. Every night.

"Some children might die of hunger over Thanksgiving break, but at least our leader is an alpha male."

💡Maybe we learn from the British... put Trump in a lavish palace and pretend he's king while Congress handles the real work of governing a nation.

With the crackdown on data that reveals the failures of this regime, will we know how many die of hunger this November?

Let's say hypothetically that the right was correct in its characterizations of the poor, depicting them as lazy. No one deserves a death sentence for being lazy.

Are they building this for Trump or Putin? If Putin moved into the White House, would anyone stop him at this point?

(What's the right emoji for utter exasperation?)

In our daily fight against fascism, remember that we're fighting together. That means we can take shifts!

Fight... rest... fight... rest. Listen to podcasts... watch kittens... read a news article... make hot cocoa with marshmallows... march in a protest... sleep in for a few days...

If you're feeling hopeless, please know that it's okay to feel hopeless. You don't have to sustain hope all the time.

Maybe this is my chronic pain and fatigue talking, but does it even matter whether Congress reconvenes? They all seem more like court jesters than lawmakers.

Lisa Lindeman, Ph.D. @lisalindeman.bsky.social · 5d

Did they ever really convene at all this year? I mean, at this point, they're just decoration. Like the fake gold filigree in King Trump's office.

Go ahead, Hegseth... keep firing top generals. Fire all of our best military leaders.

On an unrelated note, The Last Castle is an amazing movie. Definitely worth the watch.

That's exactly what I expected to happen the day they shut down. Why on earth would the Trump regime care if Congress came back to work? Now they can blame everything bad on Democrats until the end of time.

Speaking only for myself, high achievement was a part of the trauma, so it was helpful for me to avoid viewing the healing process as yet another personal achievement (at which I would succeed or fail).

Meanwhile, there's a food-shaped hole in the stomachs of children across the country... and they couldn't care less.
