Can you imagine actually bringing Jack Smith to the stand right before the election to remind all of us that Trump is a traitor and that Republicans are complicit idiots? That guy wiped the floor with them and now we are all mad again.

I am sure not a thing could go wrong if he put his name on Ford theatre. In fact, he should put on plays. Maybe attend one and see what the universe does with it.🙄

There are thousands of adults who sang with their high school choirs at the Kennedy Center. I think we should all go there and sing “There’s a light” from Rocky Horror while holding hands to protect it from the Orange Wrecking Ball.

#Insurrection #ICE Look, he paid for and fomented the last insurrection. Now, he took many of the same people and is having them create another. The only one guilty here of insurrection is Trump, his cabinet, and ICE.

#NoKings in Leesburg, VA. I don’t know the exact numbers, but they shut down streets to accommodate us. Where the Declaration of Independence was once spoken on the court steps, to today’s declaration of “No Kings!”

The missing votes uncovered in the Rockland case are just the tip of the iceberg, which spans across the swing states & into Texas. The statistical anomalies were concentrated & targeted to swing states, Texas, & specific to Election Day voting. <The usual suspects in comments>

substack.comShe Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election.How Leonard Leo's 2021 sale of an electronics firm enabled tech giants to subvert the 2024 election.

Keep an eye on Rockland everyone. Keep an eye on the Epstein files. Keep an eye on it all. It is OK, we know the score. He and his entire regime are guilty of treason on multiple fronts. We will hold them all accountable.

Dear Senators congratulating themselves for voting against the CR and asking me for money, Make @chrismurphyct.bsky.social the minority leader and we can ponder how we can get you all some funding if we still have a country left. Schumer has to go. Let him go on that book tour.

I went to Catholic school for three years. It cured me of wanting any type of organized religion. I had a teacher tell me I couldn’t question the Bible. At the tender age of 11 I said “screw that” and left the church before my confirmation. Be curious. Be stubborn. Be rebellious.

I have to say that having illness after illness (I have three kids under 10), while watching my country implode since January 20th, is frustrating and feels like the worst kind of foreshadowing ever.

My grandfather worked for NPS and helped create some of the national parks. I am deeply worried about them with the cuts. Since @altnps.bsky.social says they won’t be able to deal with crowds could we don’t things to help? The first is not to go. The second is to volunteer to help clean them up.

Do you know what my 24 year old son did this weekend? He rescued a neighborhood cat and took it to the emergency vet because it was injured. Do you know what he didn’t do? Hack the government. Moms, come get your law breaking offspring!

NEW: President Donald Trump has given Elon Musk sweeping authority to overhaul the U.S. government bureaucracy and its operations around the globe. ProPublica confirmed the identities and roles of more than 20 key people affiliated with Musk.

propub.liElon Musk’s Demolition CrewElon Musk, the world’s richest man, has been unleashed on federal agencies. ProPublica is attempting to document who is working with him and what they are doing.

Adding to my titles, which includes being a Mom of four, now I will be Chief Pain In The Ass to my state’s elected officials, I am looking at you Senator Kaine, who vote for any of this guy’s horrible ideas.

Masculine energy. You must be joking. I have been a network engineer for 29 years. Even for developers, which generally have more women, it is like maybe 30%. In my field it is like 15% who are women. We are drowning in masculine energy.

I love all of Pink Martini’s holiday album and I generally hate Christmas songs. There! I said it. I am also a former choir kid, so that might have something to do with it.

Reminder to self, do not debate your four year old who is in a logic loop. Provide hugs, say sympathetic things, nod firmly and move along. This is not a “someone is wrong on the internet moment.”

When we are talking about network infrastructure and making changes to it, we celebrate boring. Boring is awesome because that means everything went just the way it should. I would have much preferred boring in the country for the next four years too. But no, some people want the drama.

Yes, I put up my Tree before Thanksgiving this year for the first time. I am not even a little bit sorry. I needed a little joy to bolster me to fight for my friends and family for the next four years. I will keep finding that joy to keep me going.

The neighborhood cows earlier in the year. I needed a little happiness reminder, so I am sharing it. OK, back to the dread of the impending Trump doom.

The world is going to hell, so I might as well make pie. Three different kinds for the various dietary requirements. “Normal” gluten-free pumpkin pie was first. Next, is vegan for my son with Alpha-gal who recently started reacting to any dairy. The last is goat and duck egg for my husband.
