casually ranting into the void about the collapse of the western world so that I have receipts when daddy trump tries to “but actually” me in 3 months
my heart is saying that I want my feed to be filled with all of the beautiful book people I’ve stumbled upon, and the rest of me is spiraling so hard that she doesn’t know how to avoid making posts about the collapse of the united states.
sorry to this man, and by “this man”, I mean all y’all

hey, quick question. are we all still pretending that paul lynch’s PROPHET SONG isn’t currently happening in real time in the USA??
And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

“Unless Trump’s power is checked, and soon, things will get much worse very quickly. When people lose their freedoms, it can take a generation or more to claw them back—and that’s if you’re lucky.”

This is the kind of bullshit that needs to be posted and reposted over and over again so that members of the “I’m apolitical because both sides are trash 😤” crowd have to look at it and sit with their choices.

say it again for the right wingers who won’t stop talking about their 401ks
This is preparation for Trump to order the military to shoot any man, woman, or child trying to cross the border. Everything they are doing is to escalate toward full-blown genocide. The end goal is the extermination of every single immigrant, racial minority, non-Christian, LGBTQ, and non-MAGA.

I'm pleased to report, however, that my initial assessment was 100% correct and the technology has made the world objectively worse for literally everyone. It should never have existed, but since it does, no one should use it. If you do, you're siding with the enemy.

A great resource from @the-ilrc.bsky.social explaining the Trump regime’s latest “registration” requirement for noncitizens. If you or a loved one is even THINKING about submitting a Form G-325R, read this first.

I think it’s time for me to make a @ghost.org site to brain dump and organize the endless information in my ADHD/lawyer brain.
I’m so tired of feeling powerless under this regime. Every news update makes it worse, which I know is by design. If I can’t focus or commit to an idea, nothing happens.

idk adam maybe because he had a test run the SAME WEEK ?
“Who knew ahead of time and how much money did they make?” asked Sen. Chris Murphy, after Trump posted “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” on Truth Social and then announced what he described as a “90 day PAUSE” hours later.

Build workshops to help others get their passports (advice, consultation, transportation) & collectives to cover costs. Even better, those in the gov, millionaire or billionaire class should help subsidize this effort. It’s going to hurt at least 21 million, don’t let it be 21 million of ours. #3E

I’ve worked with taxpayers of all sizes: sole props, LB&I companies, and everything in between.
You know what I can confirm? The system is not built for you or for me.
