This is a good editorial read. I would add to the suggestion of 'rolling over and playing dead' or 'tactically pausing', and say that we should also keep resisting by sharing 'I told you so' posts.

There’s nothing Democrats can legitimately do to stop Trump, so we need a tactical pause in our fight to plan for the future.

For those people who supported Trump and don't mind that he's running amuck because you agree with his policies, think about this: What happens when he runs amuck on a policy you disagree with? #resistance #democracy #theconstitution

Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

The vicious glib carelessness of this administration is so dangerous and has such serious implications. Take a listen:

Dear Canada and Mexico,

As neighbors and partners, we value our strong ties—despite the current trade tantrums. Many of us don’t support these needless disputes and prefer fair, cooperative relationships. Here’s to restoring some sanity and mutual respect.

Sincerely, your friend and neighbor

Hey y'all, I just read this report about heavy metal contaminants in protein powders. I've been putting orgain protein powder in my shakes for a while now as well as vital collagen. Until I get more detailed information, I'm stopping. What the hell?

Obsessed with Severance...who else thinks Helly is Helena spying on MDP? Did ya notice she yelled when she went down the elevator like it was unfamiliar? Also fiddled with the monitor switch, like she didn't know where it was. #severence

If you haven't seen the film The Taste of Things, I highly recommend! I was so inspired, I made this lobster vol au vent with orange cognac sauce, spring peas and mushrooms. 😁 #frenchcooking #volauvent #countryfrench #HauteCuisine #gastronomy

I'm blown away now that I know about the reincarnation thing...that bracelet in the kitchen was probably another version of Tabby. Miranda didn't put it there. So it's likely multiple times she's been there. #from

That link I just posted: I was surfing for something and I ran across a 1978 live recording of SF opera's Werther, which I sang in as a kid. What a cast! I was fortunate enough to get to sing Sophie in 2017. Such fond memories!!
