It’s far too soon to ascribe responsibility for the horrific DC plane collision, but it’s not too soon to say that dismantling the safeguards afforded by a functioning federal government put us at significant risk. And it’s irrefutable that, since January 20th, we are all less safe.

TikTok seems to be moving to RedNote, actual Chinese social media, looks like we're all learning Mandarin out of spite. Love that for us.

We know that Zuck allowed Cambridge Analytica to use FB data to skew information in the 2016 election and Musk has used his platform to skew information in 2024. They are as dangerous as China owning TikTok!

Just like Russian oligarchs, these Robber Barons want to steal the things that everyday Americans built and sell them off. Expect for-profit education, post office, prisons, weather information and more. The whole plan is to rob and steal from the American people. They'll call it "efficiency."

I was 10 when I witnessed fall of the Berlin Wall. I was 20 when two planes flew into the World Trade Center and another plane into the Pentagon live on TV. I was 42 years old when I watched the Capital insurrection live on TV. I am old enough to know Russia is not our friend.

Cyber Trucks, honestly what purpose do these eye sores serve? I don’t think you could pay me any amount of money to be caught dead in one of these.

True story:

Several times I have been at concerts and sporting events when the line for the women’s restroom was 40-50 people long.

Many of us “ladies” decided to use the men’s restroom instead.

You know why?

Because we had to pee. No fucks about our genitalia.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.

More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

Now.
