I don't think I know too many people personally on here, so this may just disappear into the ether. But just in case, some personal news:
This whole story is hilarious

There’s a disturbing lack of outrage over ICE’s aggressive tackling and arrest of a non verbal autistic man in Chicago.
Just like the lack of outrage over Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held in solitary for months.
Disabled lives matter too!

Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities
Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

I really like The Righteous Gemstones, but I feel like the flashback episodes are often unnecessary and can be a slog to get through... Not sure if this is a popular opinion or not

Look, it's not corruption because he doesn't understand what's happening!! People just tell him to do something and he does it, but he doesn't know why. No corruption! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.
TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Sorry, we used up all that money to demolish the White House and build a golden ballroom

Q: In the last Trump shutdown, he made sure SNAP benefits went out. Why do you think he shouldn't do that this time?
MIKE JOHNSON: The president has done exactly what he did in the first term, and that is bend over backward to make sure we mitigate the harm. The money doesn't exist to do it.

Trump is an authoritarian, but he's also just an old-fashioned corrupt politician who uses his position to flagrantly enrich himself and his family
1. Last week, there were 3 Trump corruption scandals in 4 days that would define any other presidency.
Most people are probably not even AWARE of all three scandals.
