This is so fucked up‼️Military families are having to go to food banks because #TrumpShutUSDown We bailed out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion and Qatar is getting a Air Force base in Idaho, but our military personnel have to resort to this. Republicans can’t govern‼️

Argentina gets $20 billion, Qatar gets an airbase in Iowa, while our soldiers are being fed by food banks. Orgs like Army Emergency Relief are stepping in amidst Trump’s shutdown, and you can make a donation at any of the links in this thread:

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.

We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

Worth noting Ro Khanna's argument is based upon the blatant lie that Musk/X is neutral intermediary, a "town square," rather than an intentional propaganda effort designed to skew the conversation by artificially promoting right-wing voices while suppressing the organic success of anyone else.

Happy New Year BlueSky lol Love from Miss Belle ❤️

I've said this before, but on the last day of the year, it bears repeating: Bluesky rocks, because of the folks who post here and have made it the weird, queer, welcoming community it is. It has absolutely made my 2023 so much better, and more fun. Thanks for letting me be a part of it with you.
