Not doing well. Can’t sleep. Can’t believe it’s all happening and I’ve never felt so powerless my 67 years of protesting, marching, committing civil disobedience, and resisting in every way possible way.

Something happened to Fetterman. He seemed like a voice of reason and moderation, but now appears to have gone 'round the bend. I miss him.

I am not ok. Alternating between rage and sadness. Looking forward to the call at 8PM (eastern). The No Kings coalition has also asked everyone to put a light (candle, lantern, glowstick….) in their window to honor Renee Good’s memory.

Hurting and angry and scared yet confident that we will prevail. We are better than this. Back to my happy hour Budweisers now: hugs everyone!

What a fucking day. My kids are sick, I got the pneumonia Vax yesterday and it kicked my ass today. And my day ended by putting a very sweet beagle down because his spleen was incompatible with life.

Pajamas and bed and cats please

My rage is currently fighting for space with my clinical anxiety and I gotta say I prefer it when my skin doesn’t feel like it’s trying to crawl off my body in poorly contained terror.

My rage could fuel the greater Chicago metro area.

I always used to cringe at the self congratulatory repetition of "Chicagoland" as if it were some tacky amusement park.

And, just by the by, the heat of my rage could power the East Coast from Maine to the Keys. Not good for my blood pressure.

As a native I have always found "Chicagoland" to be simultaneously descriptive and a little cringe-inducing. Hence, greater metro area. 😘

I feel you. Hugs and strength from the north side xx

I have a migraine so maybe I posted this earlier- today National Guard, DC Police and Metro police were at Metro Center and Federal Triangle. I am tired of this - I don’t blame the individual Guard members but the pedo felon said we now have no crime in DC( untrue) so why don’t we still have the Guard here??

It never was about crime or security or whatever other bullshit they claim. It is about Putin's Punk showing us who is boss. He believes it makes him a man but he is in reality a toadstool flavor muffin.

I had a stroke in November 2024... A day before the election. Yikes. I didn't transform into a Magat, but the only part of my brain truly affected was the part that controls my vision.

I can imagine that is not the case with Fettermnan. His flooded his neurons and made him a little crazy.

So it's going to be up to voters to fix it.

Strokes suck. I was pretty healthy and still got nailed. I also wouldn't want me as a Senator.

I cried driving on my way home upon learning about Renee Good's now orphan 6-year-old son. And today there's a new MAGA "This is what I voted for" meme going around with pictures of the crime scene. Yes, they are proud of this killing.

So yes, I'm doing shitty and only see more shit in the horizon.

I've seen it. It's really difficult to get arms around the fact that there are so many ghouls who share our spacetime.

"This is what I voted for" meme...

Seriously? Damn, I'm glad I don't do social media.

Dry January didn't start until Sunday, January 4th and it's ending tonight. This is exhausting.

Doing really shitty. One decent thing is that on Reddit (I know!) someone posted this. Maybe I am fragile, but seeing people who identified as republicans calling this shit out gives me a glimmer of hope.

Just read on Raw Story that Senator Thune (R Gehenna) has allowed the placement in the Capitol of a memorial plaque honoring the Capitol Police who were killed or injured by the MAGAt mob on 1/6/20. The patron saint of wankers Mikey the dweeb has been resisting this all along because it conflicts with the "day of love" line that the Pedo Protection Party espouses.
