just want you all to know: if I can keep 2 A's and a 3.97 grade average with things like Geospatial Analysis.....and I understand what is going on ( for once) in a PHD program.
We can all DO ANYTHING WE SET OUR MINDS TO.

They survived the bombing. Please help them get through this genocide! Nour was left for dead with her brother's kids in Gaza City, while her sister in law got out, then took a vacation. Please help her through this, we've gotten her so close!

Feel so scammed and bullied and disrespect by foreign military wives, bitches. And the GOP. Got scammed into adopting a cat when I clearly said " foster" and I'm supposed to be PC when the university held a giant Kirk vigil but can't be bothered to help us get our GI Bill funding??? ALL CROOKS.
October 10, 2025 at 2:46 AM
It really misses me off that a university can organize a vigil for a horrible person like Charlie Kirk on a dime. But they can't process student's GI Bill before a government shut down.

I'm so disgusted that the National Guard is gassing and harassing Vietnam Veterans in Portland. I hope the tables turn and the uniforms are stripped right off the backs of these traitors. No respect for the pathetic guards hiding their faces like Isis. Shame on Trump and them!

Total government shut down. Just like Netanyahu, Trump and his red-tie minions take the opportunity to show off their " Trump 2028" hats? AMERICA, why isn't everyone in the street protesting? This is beyond psychotic.

Netanyahu was filmed inciting violence and a coffin against Yitzak Rabin. He will murder other Israelis to get what he wants. He's horrible. He thinks he can push around Americans.

It's so absurd. If Jewish people need a state, it should have been in Europe. My family left Lithuania in 1890 with the Russian incursions. My DNA is less than 0.1% middle eastern except for a little Greek. Many American Jewish people can't stand Israel. They looked down on their "own" Ashkenazis.

Our friend Nour is alone in Gaza City with 4 kids- her orphaned nieces/ nephews. Sister in law took the money, her oldest daughter, went to Jordan- leaving Nour with 4 kids her 3 yr old. Instead of sending money from the sale of Nour's dead brother's car, she went on vacation.
