A few blooms from my garden. Finding beauty in the chaos and uncertainty.

Three ants crawling in a white flower from my Apache plume bush.

Red centered and yellow edged wildflower.

And they call everything fraud, waste, or abuse, while they haphazardly do the bare minimum in government. This is insanely disappointing and reckless.

As someone who has spent the entirety of my working career inside/affiliated with the DoD, save for eight years as a SAHM-I’m always astounded by how much people forget furloughs impact everyday Americans The speaker sent folks home to avoid releasing or reckoning with the Epstein files 🧵

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Every American should be alarmed when government power is used to pressure a private company to silence a comedian.

The First Amendment protects speech we may dislike or disagree with because without that protection no one’s voice is safe.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.

The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

The people that use snowflake so easily, sound like snowflakes. It sounds like ICE falls in this very definition. The President and any in public office knows they won’t be loved and revered everywhere, you deal with it. All projection with this bunch. Good for thee, not for me.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Can we talk about how ridiculous it is that Republicans argue Democrats are both fragile little snowflakes and bloodthirsty murderers hell-bent on destroying American values?

Make it make sense.

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder...

Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed.

Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

The words from Gov Cox of Utah are the words they should be coming from the president of the United States.

Will the media hold him, and people like Nancy Mace accountable for their false accusations?
