I’m here to learn about WHAT I CAN DO.
To get away from the garbage on X and the distracting & confounding noise on mainstream media.
Everyone shocked and complaining should be planning to ACT in whatever way we each can.
Thanks for being here.

He still my heart! I’ve long thought this niche presented an amazing startup opportunity - now someone has gone ahead and done it! www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-m... my thought was that each location needed an on-site caretaker… what with all the automotive gems inside.
Seattle gearheads find a lot more than car storage space at The Shop
A place for gearheads: The Shop has a little bit of everything, including a spot to store your car, and work on it. You can also talk cars, grab lunch and get a haircut.

Have you ever been on the receiving end of gif-laden WhiteHouse.gov spam? Trying (and failing) to convince citizens that they are doing good.
Delusional. Citizens who pay taxes do not benefit from their “tax cuts” and are not in support of crazy, harmful “policies.” We vote and will not forget.

The United States under Trump is pursuing the policies of Hitler and the Nazi Party in the 1930’s. Why can’t MAGA people see the parallels?
Those policies didn’t work out very well for Germans. How can anyone be so blind as to think it will go well here?

Judge to Trump administration: Hands off Oregon voters’ most private data
It would mark a big loss for the feds, who have demanded unredacted voter rolls from 40 states and sued more than 20 of them that have refused to fork over personal details about each and every voter.

Yesterday I got my 2nd Shingles vaccine as well as RSV. I got them in different arms so I’d more easily be able to assess my reaction to each shot. The pharmacist said to me: “BOTH today, are you sure?”
This morning one arm was slightly sore (Shringrix side).
Get all your vaccines - they work!

Renee Good’s last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: “Fucking bitch.” And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I recognize Greenland's sovereignty and their right to remain independent.
If Greenland was ever threatened, the real America would show up to support them and leave when it's over. That's what real allies do.
I'm sorry.
