I continue to be mystified by Americans who give so little a shit about…well…everything, that they don’t bother to vote.
Like….HOW does one function day to day and actually not care about ANYTHING happening in this world country.
Weirdest shit ever

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

The financial economy is immersed in the kind of wild gambling we saw leading up to the 2008 financial crisis.
We’re seeing it all over again — this time with crypto, meme stocks, junk bonds, and investors pumping up shares of AI stocks without knowing what it is.
Be warned.

Harvard can't use someone's race to decide if they are going to be a student, but ICE can use a student's race to decide if they are going to detain/incarcerate them.
According to the Supreme Court, race can only be a factor if you want hurt, not help, someone.

It's so wild watching the majority of people just going about their everyday lives pretending we aren't in the new Nazi Regime 2.0.
Walking their dogs and eating ice cream while this evil regime is building concentration camps in aligator infested swamps on OUR LAND.
It's beyond surreal.

BREAKING: A Chilean woman on vacation was kidnapped by ICE and NYPD in New York City. Her 12-year-old daughter was left alone on the damn street.
You think that’s a “mistake”?
This is Trump’s America.
Xenophobia runs this country now.
Do not come here. It’s not safe.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill.
It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights.
It’s Project 2025

It really feels like we don’t talk enough about how much COVID has fucked up our politics, our culture, and all of us personally. It’s not surprising considering how absolutely averse this country is to confronting trauma, but sometimes it still needs to be said.

Part of the bill that Republicans jammed through includes something you may have missed:
Defunding Planned Parenthood.
There's nothing "pro-life" about defunding breast exams, pregnancy tests, prenatal care, and so much more. Over 1 million women could lose access to care.
