Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center.
We’ve seen this movie before and it ends in blood. But we don’t have to do it again.

As I read up on on the news what I will say is this:
Social Media is NOT secure. It is NOT your friend. It's not private.
Stop and think. If your thoughts are felonies -
Talk to people irl about it to process. Call someone. Get a fucking journal.
BUT STOP PLOTTING ON THE SNITCH MEDIA.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Not to sound all Philly but We, the People, need to remove this fucking administration for its crimes against those it’s sworn to protect.
BREAKING: Venezuela’s government has accused the US of launching attacks on civilian and military installations across several states, rejecting what it described as a "military aggression," according to an official statement.

You should leave Substack in 2026, because they platform fascists regularly, but even before that I am *begging* you to stop referring to your writing as "my Substack" because why give them that agency. It's your writing, your posts, your words, on their platform.

Alexa just told me "I will not tell you again" about a command that changed to something not intuitive. I feel like it was a threat and an insult at the same time.

I was so tired yesterday after work, I got home with my paper coffee cup in hand. No top, just an open cup of coffee that somehow didn't spill and I didn't notice I was carrying.
Didn't even drink it.
