Resisting with humor, mockery, absurdity never felt so good.

We need to be aware of what wickedness comes our way in the hours and days immediately after the inauguration.

I have every intention of ignoring the iinauguration with all my might, but blocking all news for the rest of the week? No, just no. I don't watch or read nearly as much news I used to, but I don't see any point in cutting myself off completely from what's going on in the world.

If anything important happens, we'll find out.

with SiriusXM satellite radio there's the Progress channel. There's UK news free and live on YouTube, along with news from Germany, France, etc... There's Al Jazeera, which is fantastic.
There's free streaming Free Speech TV. You can watch breaking news headlines on Google News 24/7 (or some alternative, if you are ruling out use of Google). I think what he's saying is we don't give our eyes or ears to the major networks or social media platforms like X and Facebook. Don't know his opinion of Bluesky.

I might glue myself to satellite radio that day and keep the internet off.

There are so many possibilities!

That is what matters

I will honor Dr. King less the kazoo marching band.



And so should everyone.

Short and lovely thread.

🕊️Hope versus hate. ☮️

you can play a kazoo. Handy little instrument to have around.

… a kazoo is the perfect instrument for you!

and On the Basis of Sex (Ruth Bader Ginsberg movie), and whatever other movies that I can come up with..

Most of the American economy is based on consumer spending. You want Republican attention -- threaten that

For two or three days would probably be more effective than anything else. They do love money above all things.

I will not participate in a "healthy" plutocracy.

Then again….

Also, it will be upside down.

Contact your local congressional office and get on the list for tickets. Many will hold a lottery for the allotment distribution.

The resistance must be felt and heard from Day 1.

OR:
- Good time to catch up on laundry!
- Maybe this is the time to clean out your closet or sock drawer.
- National Geographic might have some interesting programming if you wanna watch something.
- Might be a good time to go see one of the new movies. Take a friend!
- If the theater is in a shopping mall, the mall itself can be an excellent distraction - for extended walking or, yeah, shopping!
- Valentine’s Day will be right around the corner. Send some love to a Dem you love!
- Is there a Democratic club office or party headquarters in your area? THAT’S a great place to find kindred spirits!
- Is there an Indivisible group in your area? Might be a good place to check out! Some people might already be getting fired up for Election 2026. And I‘ll bet they’d welcome some help!
- Know of any exercise classes going on at your local Y or some other convenient place? If the donald leaves you burning mad, burn some calories!

why are y'all still on there?!? Come to bluesky.

I'm on bluesky now, but I want to delete my Xitter account also. Only when I tried, it was so ridiculously complicated that I had to give up. It kept asking for more and more information that had nothing to do with my account on that site, and I refuse to share information about myself that Xitter doesn't need to know.

I thought we were having a coronation.

I've signed out and deleted the app. But I'm sure my account exists.

I don't know what anyone would want with my user name. I haven't been very active and have very few followers. But I know that would be a huge problem for some.

It’s filled with so many misspellings and awkward phrasing. It just doesn’t feel to me like it really is his voice. The poster even misspelled part of the handle. “Resister”

by ignoring the inauguration and NOT do anything purposely ignoring the inauguration because if I do that then I'm not ignoring it.

I don't know what I'll be doing - It's a Monday, so in the morning I have a neuro-feedback session and a DBR session after that. I'll get back home, eat something, go through emails and paperwork. Maybe take a nap or work on my painting.

Play with the cats, read a bit. Check in here to see what people are saying - like I USUALLY do.
BTW, it's great to be retired!

Figure out what to make for dinner and shop for items I don't have on hand. Make dinner - eat it. Have a chat with my husband (also done at short periods during the day) Turn on Project Runway for some mindless watching. Get ready for bed, read some more..... In other words, nothing special.

It's a month away so the list may vary by then.
