It is very difficult to deal with Trump's bullshit while suffering from chronic depression and anxiety.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

To the anti-vax idiots: The reason there is a measles outbreak is because morons didn’t vaccinate their children. I’m done being nice. That ended in November. Anti-vaxxers are imbeciles. There is no doubt.

I very honestly do not think I will survive until the midterms, even if they actually occur. The constant stress and fear is killing me.

My sentiments exactly. This is not normal. This is not right. Stop sitting on your hands and do something is you have ANY power to do so, because the rest of us that have no power are counting on you to preserve what little rights we have left.

Had the first quote that says "but we can only fight if we all are on the same page and agree what mistakes were made"--
Friend, anyone who is telling you this doesn't really want you to fight fascism. They want you to fight each other.

I am on the Mount Pleasant Gaming Association Blacklist for "emotional harassment."
I helped found that club in 1986.
The harassment? Calling up a "friend" crying when I discovered they were dumping my friendship. Yes it was stupid. I should not have done it. This happened in 2018.

It's going to get VERY cold in Michigan in the early part of next week. I fully expect to be completely stranded because of my van refusing to start.
