Reading lots of books, snuggling my dogs, trying not to murder my tropical plants. Trying to stop carrying too many things.
The Heritage Foundation wanting to "root out the deep state" is laughable. They have corrupted our entire government and political system over the course of the past 45 years. You just need to look at the Supreme Court and the rise of billionaires.

So, when are the states getting screwed start to recall their representatives? Or when are house republicans going to strip Mike of his speakership? I know the goal is chaos to invoke military powers, but we also had over 3% of the population show up to protest. I don't see that problem going away.

Are you upset about your tax dollars going to feed people or subsidize housing?
I would rather that that subsidizing corporations and billionaires who do not pay their employees a living wage while also driving up the cost of housing leading to tax dollars being also used to bail out the workers.

We could all be more radical. Our representatives need to be less centrist and more economically radical. Health care for everyone, unions, fair wages, affordable housing and taxing the rich seems to be things we can all get behind.

My takes so far this week:
1. Fever/Sky is not a rivalry. Stop that. Let women play basketball. If you want drama - go to the MNBA.
2. If you don't know what habeus corpus is, please resign from the cabinet immediately.

Whether or not you agree with the positions of the Catholic church, I believe there is no denying that Pope Francis was a pope for those on the margins. In the spirit of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Vincent DePaul, he at least attempted to serve those who needed it. He was human and flawed, but

Not an unpopular theory: US "leadership" current crashing economy and eliminating federal workforce to set up sale of public assets and infrastructure to really rich guys. Please see fall of Soviet Union and the creation of oligarchs. Except we weren't communists to start.

I have chosen to "per the email attached from three weeks ago" to three men today already. I also watched a tik tok about how to be well liked at work through your email tone and did the opposite. We're doing great.

Economic disaster is a great way for rich rich people to get richer and to solidly king themselves. Also, everyone should take a looksy at the way the oligarchs began and how Putin came to power. Just for funsies.

“Party leadership has discouraged lawmakers from disrupting Trump’s address with props, such as signs and hand-clappers, or by heckling the president and walking out.”

If you do not want the feedback on what your voters want, maybe don't run for office.
Hiding from the public sounds like a solid plan moving forward 🙄

We are living in a time where white men's feelings got hurt because other people are better at a lot of things than them and that is why we all now have to live in this hellscape. The number of whiney baby boys out here is just annoying.

Elon and his high school kids taking over the treasury is frighteningly like that time that Kevin Change took over Greendale with his middle school loyalists. Except this is real life and Elon is actually a super villain.
