If anyone wants to read the article about how a man with legal US residency got kidnapped and dumped in the el Salvador torture center, here's a gift article. It's pretty enraging. This seems like a pretty big tipping point to me.

Cat hotel. #CatsOfMastodon

My husband's social security payment actually arrived today. We plan to use social security deposits to assess the progress of autocracy.

The cats at my house have really stressful lives 😹 #CatsOfMastodon

I ordered these stickers and am going to keep them in my purse to stick on price tags as prices go up. Maybe it's childish but I don't care 😂

Just heard about MSNBC firing pretty much all the anchors who aren't white. I never really watched anyone except Joy Reid on the network, now I will watch nothing. It's too bad Rachel Maddow didn't resign in protest. She's worth $35 million, how much more money does she need. #MSNBC #joyreid

FYI for the resistance. #Resist #Amazon #Coup

American women need to get passports. Or don't change your name if you get married.
---
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act could prevent many married women from being able to register to vote.

Much of the documentation listed under the SAVE Act is based on having a birth certificate that matches the person registering to vote. However, as many as 69 million married women in the United States have changed their legal name since getting married, meaning their name does not match their birth certificate.

The SAVE Act does not include proof of name change or a marriage certificate as acceptable proof of identity.

Butters says happy Caturday! #Caturday

LOL. #GulfOfMexico

Periodic post about how if you love scrambled eggs for breakfast but don't want to pay an absurd price for a dozen eggs, tofu can mimic eggs with this recipe for a fraction of the price. I've started to leave out tahini since it's a pain to melt. Here's this morning's breakfast with my low carb bread and Trader Joe's vegan butter. #Tofu #Eggs #Recipe

Listening to a little Green Day (American Idiot) while messing around inside. This was my theme song during the efforts to flip the Senate in 2006. Sad that this song is even more relevant 20+ years after it was released.

Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America

Over 2000 people in the area where I live work on this NASA project. 65% of people bere voted for the guy who's going to put them out of a job and give the work to SpaceX. FAFO. #NASA #FAFO

@HarriettMB @thebeeguy we tried to do something last November, but too many people in this country are fucking idiots. I'm sorry to say there's really nothing we can do now since his party controls the entire government for the next two years and Trump is now basically a mob boss not following laws. We warned people who said they wouldn't vote for Harris because of this issue but they didn't listen.#Trump #USPol

@HarriettMB @thebeeguy our system is pretty weak, but I think Democrats can win back the house in 2026 in states that aren't currently controlled by crazy people. Our system is pretty dispersed and stronger than you imply. What is currently happening now with dismantling the federal government is going to destroy a lot here and people are going to start to get really pissed when they realize what that really means, even people who voted for T. Maybe people will just roll over and we'll turn into something like Hungary. Or maybe people will fight back. I don't know. At any rate it's going to be a chaotic four years. #Trump #USPol

"We must recognize that we can't solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power... this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together... you can't really get rid of one without getting rid of the others... the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order." - MLK Jr. in a report to SCLC Staff, May 1967.

Here's another good MLK quote different from the ones we usually see. He was right.

"If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God's children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell." - Speech at Bishop Charles Mason Temple of the Church of God in Christ in support of the Memphis sanitation workers' strike on March 18th, 1968, two weeks before he was assassinated

@ai6yr this is a scary article. I don't understand why they waited so long to issue an evacuation notice. I'm not in fire country, but I rely on official warnings to know when to take shelter from tornadoes. I can't imagine many things worse than being stuck in traffic trying to evacuate and seeing flames all around.

@chris I was saying this to my husband yesterday. Our dishwasher is two years old and I just noticed the heating element is warped and is melting the spinny thing. My parents had the same dishwasher with no problems for probably 20 years.

It's been a day. I discovered the people on a new team I have to work with think LA is burning because of satanists and that my family and friends who live there (and I guess aren't satanists) shouldn't worry because god will take care of everything. I need some wine.
