After getting only about 2 hours of sleep, I was watching my local morning news show to get the weather (Chicago here). I think it’s very telling that all 3 anchors and the meteorologist were all wearing head to toe black.

Project 2025 does away with the National Weather Service and NORAD. No one will know when a storm is headed their way. I read meteorologists are al scrambling to download data, etc. Nightmare is just beginning.
The weather work will still go on, it will just have been sold off to an oligarch which will charge for the privilege of knowing when and where the storm will hit.
I didn't watch news for three and a half months after the last trump election. When I wanted something "live" instead of canned, I became intimately familiar with the Weather Channel and QVC. And audiobooks in the car, or the vintage radio dramas on Sirius.
Songgirl, I just turned the news on WGN…I had to see orange shit face but when they went back to the anchors, sure enough…they’re wearing black! Makes me feel good. We will be using our solidarity to refuse to cooperate.
My sister is a teacher. She texted me to say that a lot of teachers wore black today & there were many tears. I wore black as well. It will be my uniform fir awhile. Went to lunch with my bestie & she couldn't even talk about the election. And all I wanted to do was talk about it. At lunch, an older couple sat next to us & they were talking about the election. I wanted to move to their table so I could commiserate with them. They voted for Kamala. They said they survived Trump before, but weren't sure they could do it again. 🤔

Yes, and my daughter who is a SpEd teacher will most likely lose her job.

True dat Sheila!
I can't watch the news. I just can't.
I’m not watching anymore today
You know what I will watch today? Rosalind Russell in Auntie Mame!
“Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!”
Ah, yes. The sophisticated liberalism vs. the repressed conservatives.
That's a great movie.
Yes it is. It’s funny, touching, sweet, and life-affirming. Just what I need today.

Here we go again.
I love history. I watch it all. I'm watching Ken Burns documentary the Civil War right now. And I do like the Weather Channel :).
I'm going to take a couple of years' hiatus from the TV box. Tune back in, in Summer of '26 maybe.
Me, too. A little YoYoMa this morning. I just can't. The fascist shit storm is coming. And they will normalize it.
I gave up TV several years ago. Never missed it. 250 channels and nothing worth watching.

Songgirl, I’m in Chicago too. I couldn’t turn on the tv but I might take a peek now. WGN?
No, ABC channel 7. Terrell Brown, Val Warner, Tracy Chapman
Same on WGN!
Also in Chicago, but turned off TV around 5 after it was on all night. Going to check what our morning news folks are wearing now!
My local newscasters were wearing black as well.
So were 4 of the 5 ladies on The View
My profile is pure black.
