Nu wanted to stay home from school. When I sent the school absence report form to the family chat, Big A asked if Nu was just going to take all Fridays off from now on. That's not a bad idea for Nu. Or for me?

I really cannot believe what is happening in our world today. I don’t like reading dystopian novels and I’d really dislike feeling like I live in one. I’ve been loving hearing about all the rallies! That sign about fighting cancer. Instead of Canada is very clever. But how depressing that we even need to fight about that!
I like the Fight Cancer Not Canada sign too. Are you tuning into Barrett's telephone town hall on Monday? I'm not sure I get the idea of a telephone town hall but hey, it's the first time he's communicated with anyone and I expect he'll hear a mouthful. I hope so. I'll probably be shunned next week in Canada. I wonder if Bad Annie's has any merch that says "I didn't vote for him!"
Good for you.
That is a good sign. I couldn't make it to Stand Up for Science in DC, but from the pictures my friends posted it looked pretty big. We're going to protest at NIH Medical Center today.
I am really heartened to see this as I kind of feel like so much is going on for Americans domestically, that the aggressions toward Canada are going unnoticed. This makes me feel seen. xo
Nicole, I am in DC and very personally impacted by the terrible. It is a bad time in my life. AND ALSO, my friends and I discuss Canada a lot. We have watched many
of the PM and Foreign Minister’s speeches. We are NOT okay with the aggression towards Canada. In the midst of our own big losses, we feel deeply for you all!! ❤️
(That was Subway S. :))
How depressing indeed, Lisa... I saw a quote from Musk about "empathy being the downfall of civilization," and I can't even...
Jeanie--I have a work meeting, so may not be able to tune in. I know lots of others who are, so I hope the pressure will stay on! Isn't Bad Annie's a treasure and spot to find treasure!? Happy travels to Canada!
Solidarity!
Steph, I just saw your NIH protest pix :)! Loved your sign and Beth's! A protest a day seems too much, I'm glad you're pacing yourselves. XOXOXO
Nicole, I echo Subway Steph. People are mostly incredulous because it seems far-fetched. But also mad about it or wishing for things to go the other way :) I hoped the title would show you we're all fuming about this, too, in addition to the %^&%$$# other things this administration is heaping upon us on the daily.
Steph, I am so, so sorry to hear that you have been directly and so immediately affected by the dangerous nonsense and actions of this administration. We all will eventually, but I'm sorry that you're feeling the brunt of it so swiftly. Solidarity and love. On gmail "pocobrat" will reach me.
