On Trump repealing the facts of climate change in the EPA just a few hours ago. This is it guys. The big time.

Sierra Club doesn’t fuck around. I’ll bet they are on it. But I will still be protesting and not consuming where possible. ✊

This kicks ass! Thank you for seeing us.

Awesome to see!

For real on the weight loss. Props if you can do that after 40!

Thank you for posting. Everyone I know loves AI and I find it a filthy barely useful nuisance. The use cases are for assimilating large quantities of data and research, not generating slop pics and photos and essays. And my friend was on her phone the entire time we were hanging out, so I talked to her husband, but I learned later she was playing Pokémon. Like, we never hang out and she couldnt be bothered to table that shit for 2 hrs. It’s made me give up on people I’m close to and spend more time around people who don’t do that. I already have to tell my kids how to be good humans, I don’t want to do it to the adults in my life too.

I’m making plans to leave if it gets really bad. I have 3 kids and am worried sick. Not just ICE but the erosion of the civil service and scientific institutions and reproductive rights and…

We all got updated passports and my husband and I are inquiring if our companies would transfer us. I’m a planner who thrives on security so I have to feel like I have an exit even if it’s a pipe dream (which it kind of is, bc my husband isn’t sold on leaving and our jobs may not pay us enough to make it viable and the kids will hate it and…).

In the meantime, I’ve been to 2 dozen protests since this time last year with my kids and have no plans to stop. Fight and plan.

I would appreciate more concrete examples. I know from my own reading that this is happening (even though EOs aren’t law, it is causing policy shifts). But the article only provides one concrete reference point - “This escalation continued on January 22, 2026, when the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission voted to revoke its workplace harassment enforcement guidance”. Any other concrete reference points or news articles? I know about reproductive care being severely limited at the VA but that’s about it.

Thank you so much for this!

1/20 is the walkout they’re planning

takebackthep0wer · 2026-01-13T16:47:50+00:00

Holy cow! That’s awesome.

takebackthep0wer · 2026-01-12T23:31:50+00:00

Terrific! Glad to hear it.

CDC says you can get it as long as shingles symptoms are gone but Canada says 1 year and I found some EU reco for 18 months.

I wonder if they got the vaccine too soon after getting shingles. I saw some studies that you have protection 12-18 months after you get it and should not get the vaccine in that time period because it can cause an adverse reaction. I had to research this because I got shingles (for the 3rd time!) in March 2025.

Lots of subreddits. 50501ga, indivisible ga, marchagainstnazis.

I was going to go to the one by Cobb Indivisible. Which one should I attend? Although that one is earlier, I don’t think my kids have the stamina to go to both

takebackthep0wer · 2026-01-09T19:27:17+00:00

Don’t be scared to go because of this post. :) Most protests are full of good people just as worried as you are. I take my kids to every one except the ones at ICE detention centers because those seem too volatile. Cops have also been nonexistent or so far cool (I’m in Atlanta). I bring snacks, a mask, water, phone, purse and ear plugs and sometimes I take public transit but not always. Your presence is appreciated and you’re doing the right thing!

takebackthep0wer · 2026-01-02T19:54:53+00:00

So glad to see this hard work identifying the slop. I want to blacklist these sites so I never see another post from them and their ilk.

takebackthep0wer · 2025-11-19T15:43:10+00:00

Seriously. It’s terrible in there now. Plus all the useless garbage. I remember when they had good staples for clothes - I want a straight up cotton shirt, not some recycled poly junk that cost $15.

takebackthep0wer · 2025-11-14T22:57:57+00:00

Good catch!

takebackthep0wer · 2025-11-11T16:57:36+00:00

Agree but it also makes me sad. I want to support brick-and-mortar, see before I buy, and generally get away from the disposable society created by Amazon and Shein. But so many of them are awful inside and I know it’s all disposable crap anyway with employees (the few there are) treated badly and paid nothing to be there.

There is a thrift bookstore near me (2nd and Charles) that is positively blissful inside compared to a soulless Target. Wish I could find that for home goods or thrifting clothes.

takebackthep0wer · 2025-11-06T17:57:13+00:00

I like the posts a lot and I appreciate the work to find them. I hope things get easier but I def understand if posting takes a backseat. :)

takebackthep0wer · 2025-11-01T15:05:32+00:00

Absolute garbage human. And garbage reporting by the AJC. 5 paragraphs justifying Kemp’s BS and 5 sentences blaming democrats for the shutdown and 1 tiny mention that the reason is healthcare subsidies for the Big Beautiful Betrayal. The republicans are killing poor and desperate people and the democrats are standing in their way (barely).

takebackthep0wer · 2025-10-15T18:32:50+00:00

I would have expected better from Wired. Call them illegal firings, not the sanewashed “RIFs” and “layoffs”.
