Flames...on the side of my face

This one hurt, her work had such a profound effect on my life, thoughts, and politics.

May her memory be a blessing

In fact, in the minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in, according to Berulis' disclosure. Those attempts were blocked, but they were especially alarming. Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password, according to [whistleblower] Berulis.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

A whistleblower has basically given us the missing piece of the puzzle. DOGE might be accessing all of this sensitive government data across dozens of agencies…to feed to Russia.

This should be a bombshell - and corroborates the formerly-conspiracy-theory-turning-real-possibility of Trump & Co. being Russian agents.

I was actually hospitalized during the long holiday break. I had a bad fall near my home and ended up having to call an ambulance because the pain was so intense I couldn’t move. Thankfully, nothing was broken, but the whole situation was pretty shocking and honestly left me feeling a bit miserable too. I was able to leave the hospital after about 10 days, and the experience really made me appreciate the importance of good health all over again. Feeling grateful.
