Every time the man does something horrendous, I think that this may be the straw that breaks the camel's back. But it's one damned thing after another. I can barely keep up with the continuous rips to the fabric of our democracy.

We're already inundated with the Orange Menace's idiotic EOs. Trying not to go down every rabbit hole. Instead, trying to focus my attention on what I can do while giving myself permission to rest & reset.

We the People have to reassert that the government works for us, not for the 1% who hold most of the wealth in this country. We are not vassals to a king, but equal citizens of a democracy. It's time we put on our big person pants & acted like it.

I've deleted my Instagram, Threads & X/Twitter accounts. I maintain Facebook solely to communicate with friends & family around the world. But, I will log out during this period to protest Meta's new moderation fact-checking policy. I hope you'll do the same.

I was taught never to wish death on anybody. But I do anxiously scan my feed every morning for that one announcement that would solve so many problems.

How the hell have we misused Social Security? I paid into the system for nearly 50 years. I was told it was an investment for my future. I've now called in on that promise & that's misusing it? This is rich coming from someone w a gov pension, full insurance etc.

Just a reminder to the holier-than-thou Christian Nationalists out there of what their version of Christmas has become.

The Billionaire Boy's Club needs to be taught a lesson. This one is going to be hard (I'm a compulsive shopper, but I'm making the commitment). Only purchase necessities & purchase locally. Avoid the megastores, Amazon, etc.

Musk needs to STFU. He's making it so easy to hate CEO's & others in the 1%. By blatantly stating that insurance companies are not there for the customer's benefit but only for the stockholders', he's further dividing the US into a classist/feudal society.

At this point the question is rhetorical. Tr*mp is a master grifter & MAGAts were ripe for the picking.

Earlier I posted that we have to constantly be cognizant of our privilege. I'm trying to check mine every day. It isn't easy, but absolutely necessary if we're going to change & grow.

Own up to your privilege & dismantle it every day.

Is Marge confessing to a federal crime here? Besides, preemptive blanket pardons aren't a thing. One has to be convicted first, then pardoned. I'd love to see her ass convicted and sentenced.

As we enter the Holiday season, get ready for the faux outrage about the so-called "War on Christmas" & Tr*MP's promise to "bring back Christmas". Just keep this in mind:

I wasn't overreacting in 2016, I'm not overreacting now. Hillary warned us.

Please remember. I lost 2 good friends this year. It's not over.

Tomorrow at the family dinner, when dealing with *that* relative (you know the one, probably wearing his red cap at the table), remember to pace yourself:

On another topic not related to politics (but it really is), I just watched WICKED. It was phenomenal! Erivo and Grande were mesmerizing!

What's that Republicans? You didn't know about female to male transgender? I guess you're in for a bit of a surprise.

We have to keep showing up. We lost the election, but keep showing up. We know that chaos & corruption will reign starting January 20th, but keep showing up. Every day. No matter how tired, or disheartened, or depressed, just show up. We can only do this together.

The upcoming holidays will be stressful for many of us because of politics. I'm not going to any family gatherings, only gatherings with friends who are closer than blood kin. No heated arguments, less stress, fewer tears & a much more enjoyable season.

Everyone's Thanksgiving argument next week. You know, with that one uncle or cousin who's wearing his MAGA hat at the dinner table?

Trans people in sports or public restrooms are not a danger to anyone. The Christo-Fascists obsessed with what's in other people's underwear & demanding to do genital checks - those are the real perverts.
