Today

Egg prices are still at all-time highs.  Pointing it out to remind folks that this still has not been addressed.  People chose to vote this current administration in.  Overlooking their plans to reconfigure society.  He said he didn't know anything about project 2025.  

Clearly, he wouldn't lie.  Politicians never lie.  

And now, we see the truth of this administration.  They fire people at will.  They gaslight daily.  They are attempting to strip us of our rights.  Rights that have been fought for and secured.  They aim to hurt people.  Children, disabled, poor.  They don't care if they take away your access to funds.  

I watched the current press secretary try to blame it on the former administration.  Typical gaslighting.  Politics, as usual.  Just know.  The egg prices were a campaign promise that people voted on.  They chose the price of eggs and gas over being decent human beings.  

I am concerned for my friends that are gay or lesbian.  I fear for any transgender person as there are some questioning their identities.  It appears to be a younger phenomenon than me.  Still, they deserve the right and opportunity to live their best lives instead of being ostracized, mocked, put back in the closet.  I fear for immigrants and what they endure.  I work alongside some of the hardest working people who happen to be Venezuelan.  They show up, smile and hustle.  They came here, legally, to avoid a terrible situation in their country.

I fear for women.  I fear for myself.  I have never felt vulnerable entering a restaurant by myself until recently.  I consider if I will feel welcome entering the establishment as a solo woman.  If the vibe isn't welcoming, I leave.  I do not intend to welcome any bullshit into my atmosphere.  

I encourage all women to stock up on plan b's.  

The current regime is relentless.  They will not stop at taking away our healthcare.  They want us pregnant and taking care of children.  Not working.  In the homes.  Sacrificing our dreams.  They will eliminate contraception in addition to allowing us to make decisions regarding our bodies.  They do not value you.  They want to act as if they are our protectors.  They are not.  Do not forget this.  

Collectively, we can stand together.  We are all witnessing women stand up to this dictatorship.  Mother Pence.  Kamala.  Michelle.  Caroline Kennedy.  The woman who stood up against Hegseth.  Several others.  Continue to push back and move forward.  We, the people, deserve to move forward.  To protect our rights.  To support equality and reject theocracy.  

I am finding my voice and way to protest.  What is your role in this?  How can you help?  Monetarily.  Joining a mutual aid group.  Creating art.  

Disrupt.  Be loud and bold!
