Frightened Maryland resident here. Please do something to stop the coup.
Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

Do something

Suppose you had the privilege of also carrying a European passport. Would you get out now, or wait? Where would you move to, and why would you choose Switzerland? Asking for a friend.

This week I told my financial advisor that I do not wish to support Meta, Tesla, Starlink, Walmart, Amazon, OpenAI etc. with my retirement funds. She started expunging my holdings that invest in those companies the very next day. I will not stand on the wrong side of history. 1/2

German here. I’ve been sick to my stomach since his double Hitlergruß. I didn’t think he could make it worse but here we are. Let’s not allow it being normalized.

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

If you aren’t outraged and appalled by the world’s richest man making the Nazi salute for the world to witness, we are not the same. If you minimize this blatant display of hate and racism, we have nothing in common. There’s no excuse for this. None.

I really really dislike the cold. I’ve got Reynaud’s and it can get super painful. But, for the next couple of days I’ll happily endure an arctic blast. Even Mother Nature is resisting.

Empathy has me up in the middle of the night. So I’m trying a new thing. Attempting to find my people on BlueSky instead of doomscrolling on Meta.

It’s cold & gloomy! I’m like a delicate flower, I need sunshine to thrive. So I’ll go to places that feel like Spring, like the Dok Khai Eatery in Columbia, MD. Such a pretty restaurant. The food is amazing, too.

P.S. I’m choosing to focus on the beauty that surrounds me instead of all the hate.

I don’t know if I have it in me to start over on a new platform. Again. I’m exhausted from the verbal garbage and “news” of the day. And it’s only January 7th.

Just a picture of my best bud so my page here isn’t totally blank. Dogs are better (than) people. #dogs
