I spent most of yesterday thinking I was targeted and fired and maybe I was but I was not alone. There were 130 of us that were booted from our former company yesterday and they have also asked for people to voluntarily resign.

And by “just seeing it now,” I mean, I just I’m hearing Keith Olbermann’s bulletin podcast about it and finally opened blue sky to check what has been happening today, while I have been hiding. Damn.

I haven’t been listening to podcasts or checking blue sky because I thought I needed a break so I am just now seeing the news about MSNBC. What in the goddamn hell?

If you guys need self-care tips for getting through this current constitutional crisis, I highly recommend riffing any of the four remaining soap operas. It’s really fun. A good escape. If possible watch with your best friend, in my case, a 16-year-old fluffy cat, next to you ❤️

I try to give Quentin mainly wet food so I didn’t really panic about being out of dry food, but I noticed a certain cat was getting overly interested whenever I would open a package. Mommy finally got the message and ordered him some dry food and cat toys.

Every single day Democratic leaders need to ask themselves: What can we do to punch Trump in the face today?! And every day they need to plan to deliver a punch that will knock Trump off his game and grab headlines. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/democratic...

Democratic leaders must punch Trump in the face—every single day.

This is their job!

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis. The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup. At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues. Nothing should be "business as usual."

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.
