Democracy isn’t perfect, but it can’t function if billionaires decide elections.
In most European countries, Musk couldn’t do this because million-dollar campaign donations aren’t allowed.
When the rich have vastly more influence than voters, that isn’t democracy

Google isn't helping... anyone got any good hexes for inconsiderate morons who let off incredibly loud fireworks for several minutes starting at midnight in a residential area?

This may seem overly simplistic but I think it’s kind of obvious as an adult that that you should be able to choose other adults to fuck or not fuck based on any reason you want without being scolded
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.
Majority of Gen Z swipe left on dating people with opposite political views

Fact check:
✅Chicago's crime rate was already down
✅NG troops were never actually deployed in the city
✅Some did patrol a suburban immigration facility for just one day
✅We did have hundreds of federal agents here terrorizing the city & suburbs but Trump's guard plan in Chicago was foiled

Trump announces he’s pulling the National Guard from Portland, LA, and Chicago but threatens that “We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again - Only a question of time!”

The information from the White House is not the be-all, end-all. There are plenty of us online fighting propaganda with facts. There are more of us than MAGAts. We use the power of the pen, we’re using it on social media! Every platform. I’m back on “X” just to confront wingnuts! Annoying! Them! 😂

This is happening to **American citizens** right now.
And by now, those still looking away are complicit in this madness.
Shout.
Get angry.
Make noise.
Write/call your representatives.
Because silence is no longer acceptable.

New year has never been a major event for me, as it seems a bit overdone. Hogmanay was the Scottish midwinter festival like Christmas was for most other Europeans.
I usually feel out of place in parties, as "small talk" isn't among my social strengths, nor is being in a noisy crowd.

Cold and frosty here in SW England this morning. Frozen taps at the stables thawed and functioning. Outdoor rugs on the horses, nunb fingers meant fumbling with buckles.

“Out of touch” isn’t it.
A president who gilds the Oval Office in gold, slaps his own name on a cultural institution, tears down the East Wing for his own vanity project, and then tells us the affordability crisis is all in our heads.
It’s not out of touch; it’s contempt for the people he governs.

The thing about “Somali Fraud” is that Donald Trump raped and sexually abused girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring.
