Childless cat lady in a red state needing to commiserate. A good chunk of study for my history degree focused on authoritarian governments. I spent nearly a year studying WWII Germany in German, so my spidey sense has been on high alert since 2015.

Northeast/central east Ohioans: this is what cuts to Medicaid will do to your communities.
Three rural hospitals may close.
Bigger hospitals nearby will ALSO lose Medicaid reimbursements, reducing their ability to take extra patients.

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…
BULLSHIT.
@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.
This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

Thank you for speaking out.
What DJT is doing is not normal. What other living president started building monuments and naming buildings in his own honor?
This is repugnant and I hope Congress takes action against this behavior.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Thanks for the conversation, @meidastouch.com . Everywhere I go, Ohioans are telling me loud and clear: they want a leader who respects them, listens to them, and fights for them.
It’s not too much to ask for - and I’m bringing it in 2026.

I've been reading The Screwtape Letters. This passage struck me in light of SNAP not being funded on Nov. 1 and the R's refusing to discuss extending ACA subsidies.

I hate this regime for co-opting Star Wars and Tolkien and blowing past the fact they are on the wrong side of both. Yikes!

Let's do the math...
If Trump was an informant who had nothing to do with Epstein's crimes, why is he resisting releasing the files? The files he allegedly helped build to bring Epstein to justice?
Anyway, I bet he'll ask the FBI to release all the very real reports they have on his very real work as an informant.

I am going to read the Declaration of Independence and Constitution from my front yard tomorrow. And if my voice holds out, parts of Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny.
This will not stand.

I spent Saturday, June 21, 2025 living in oblivion. It was a beautiful summer day of kayaking, gardening and NAPPING. After coming home from dinner with my bestie, I saw the dumpster fire I'd missed.
This feral childless cat lady is mourning what could have been.

I spent most of my day making phone calls to electeds and going to a #NoKings protest yesterday.
Today I read a Stephen King book, puttered in my garden and took a short kayak trip nearby.
Make sure to take care of yourself! You have to put on your oxygen mask before helping others, so they say.

Just a thought:
Companies that eliminated DEI programs when DJT said he would make them illegal did not 'bend the knee.'
They were just breathing a sigh of relief that they didn't have to keep up their 'cumbersome' charade anymore.
