Now working with Dayenu, but all these opinions are just me. Anagram: I am crabby. Be kind. She/Her.

All those '80s movies where the intrepid reporter uncovered some scandal and exposed the evil robber baron villain and good was restored.
So quaint.

It's like the only institution that won't capitulate to him is the climate.
So it will just kill us all and let the bunnies have a good time in the ashes.

They're not gonna stop til they've driven the whole thing into the ground.
250 years was a pretty good run.

"By revoking this key scientific finding our government is putting fealty to Big Oil over sound science and people's health."

Not only do we not deserve dogs, we don't deserve the planet.

Um.
Which is worse for our health:
-sugar
-inability to access preventive healthcare, essential medication, food, clean air and water...

[Mary Babic @MaryBabic]

We just cut food assistance for millions of people.

I'm taking off my damn shoes anyway.

All I can say for today is that I'm having a popsicle.

Good to know in this time of crisis that we have a true meritocracy that resulted in this cabinet of white men.

David Huerta has been detained despite decades of advocacy for low-wage workers and immigrant communities. His detention is part of a broader, dangerous trend of escalating federal retaliation against movement leaders and working people.

Join us today to demand his release.

Though Missouri voters overwhelmingly passed a sick leave ballot initiative, Republican legislators have opted to repeal it. From @gurleygg:

When I was in middle school, I felt sorry for all the normal people around us (teachers, parents). I thought, We are awful, how can they deal with us?
Ahem.

[Mary Babic @MaryBabic]

You know how easy it would be to fix all this?
And how little those people would miss a few millions?
🙄

[Mary Babic @MaryBabic]

It's just wrenching how we're going backward on every single aspect of our life and rights.
I'm so old I thought progress was possible.

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

Workers deserve so much better than these brutal conditions with almost no oversight. https://t.co/dnvt9VIq98

[Mary Babic @MaryBabic]

Well, it's a silver lining, I guess.

Sure.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

We owe Trump & Musk a debt of gratitude.

For a long time the big money interests, under Dem and Repub administrations, dominated our government & our politics.Their work was done quietly and out of public scrutiny. They had the power. They just didn’t advertise it.

Not anymore.

[Mary Babic @MaryBabic]

This is so bad. And dumb.
The devastation after Hurricanes Katrina and Maria was so overwhelming it could only be addressed by a massive federal effort.
Both places poorer and more fragile than the rest of the US.

Every day now.

And still we fight... Shout out to you all, whoever you are out there.

[Mary Babic @MaryBabic]

Things don't have to be this bad.

We have hummingbirds and dancing and pizza and bowling and movies and word games and white wine and electric light and indoor plumbing.

And look what a mess we're making.🤷‍♀️
