Slow News Day

Slow News Day. I’m at the point where after working all day in meetings I’m scared – to check the news. I suppose if something really, really, really insane happened – emergency level – I would somehow know about it right? I mean is there an interruption in the emergency broadcast ZOOM meeting world? Oh wait – that might have been a function formally held by the Federal Government, so likely even if it HAD existed – nope.

So anyhow – in the interest of (in)sanity, mine. Not yours. I honestly just can’t find words so I am doing this via my Bluesky timeline. Sorry not sorry.

Let’s dive in!

It’s. All. A. Manufactured. Fucking. Crisis. Loved ones told me I was overreacting. I knew this was coming. If you are paying attention you know.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
