Mom to an amazing 24 yo. Trying to live a joy-filled life in Alabama. Sharing our home with a 2.5 year old crazed Mini Aussie. I spend my free time reading/listening to audiobooks, watching KDramas, reading way too much about politics, taking a new interest in all things witchy & being in nature.
Trump is doing away with the things he has zero interests in; farmers, veterans, education, auto workers, parks, museums and more.

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

It's been 5 days and honest to God it feels like years.
Every day more horrible things happen.
I am so sad and exhausted.

House Republicans are celebrating pardons issued to a bloodthirsty mob that violently assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021.
What happened to backing the Blue?
Far right extremists have become the party of lawlessness and disorder.
Don’t ever lecture America again.

Jessica: The fire chief has been called a DEI hire. I would take her resume any day, 24 year vet, paramedic, engineer, fire inspector, captain, battalion chief, fire marshal, deputy chief.

We don't need to fight dirty. We do need to develop a messaging apparatus for our side that gets the word out effectively. Keep this in mind: the GOP media industrial complex began in the 70s. Even with that massive head start, they've won the majority popular vote only once since 1988 >

The mistake is to assume that rulers who came to power through institutions cannot change or destroy those very institutions- even when that is exactly what they have announced that they will do. Revolutionaries sometimes do intend to destroy institutions all at once. On Tyranny-Timothy Snyder

Does anyone else ever feel like they're living in the upside down?
Time "man of the year"? Ringing the stock market bell? Freaking president???

I think responsible people of empathy are suffering from information-poisoning right now.
The more we know about what's really happening in this country; the depths of our fractures, the audacity of our leaders, the less hopeful we can become.

A democracy cannot survive when a single private citizen can effectively purchase the presidency.
And I won’t even mention that his citizenship was most likely obtained through fraud.

Elon Musk spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to help Donald Trump win the presidency, federal filings revealed.
Elon Musk Spent Over $250 Million to Help Elect Trump
The enormous spending from the world’s richest man quietly fueled allied groups and was revealed only now, as Mr. Musk plays a key role in the presidential transition.

And for those too young to know Iran-Contra, just go read the wikipedia page and look at *how many pardons* (it will blow your hair back i swear)
Ford pardoned Nixon. GHWB pardoned the Iran-Contra crew. Clinton pardoned Marc Rich and his half brother. Trump pardoned Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, and Charles Fucking Kushner!
Joe Biden pardoning his own son doesn't come close to any of those truly controversial pardons. Get a grip.

And Trump spent a year saying he knew nothing about Project 2025.
Where's the news articles and outrage about that?

Just saw Wicked and wow!!
From one of the beginning lines from Glinda, “Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?” it is a commentary on so much that's wrong in the US. Prejudice, meanness, making fun of people who are different and more.
It was an amazing film.
