Been off social media for a bit for my own sanity. Gen X oldest daughters- how are you? (I copied this question from @anureet.is on threads because it resonated with me today!- so thank you anureet!) I’m coping with the crazy out of control feelings, but just barely!

So, MAGA, remind me, when did Trump prove he’s the big, tough strong man? Was it when he bragged he’d end the war in Ukraine in 24 hour and then didn’t? Or when he rolled out the red carpet for a war criminal with an active arrest warrant and clapped like a fanboy? Or is it this pathetic display?

I’ve seen a lot of posts about the racist white lady raising money off of her interaction with a 5 year old black child. Obviously- disgusting and I just can’t with these people right now! If you can- donate to the actual victim. 💕

I’ve been following the DC court cases regarding the people sent to El Salvador. I understand that the judges have been ruling against the DOJ, but what needs to happen for these individuals to be brought back to the U.S. and given due process?

I voted NO on RFK Jr.
I will vote NO on FDA Commissioner.
I will vote NO on NIH Director.
I will vote NO on all of Trump's nominees.
And I will vote NO on a funding bill that is nothing more than a giveaway to Elon Musk and Republicans.
