Midwest girl by birth. Northeast girl at heart. Living in Florida, desperate to escape! 💙
I’m so scared and tired and over it! I think I my window is closed to get out. My heritage is Swedish and they are already tightening up immigration and I no longer qualify. I think it is because so many countries don’t want a flood of Americans and I can’t blame them.

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw
i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.
It’s a real mindfuck when most ppl wanna post about their latest failures/successes, or weird shit they saw in the wild or cool stuff they made…but the country is a cesspool so cool/weird shit seems trite.

I get the idea that so many prominent figures on this platform are using it to drive traffic to their other platforms that monetize. But some of us are employed and don’t have time to click through to watch videos while we try to maintain stable employment in this horrific economy.

Reposting this for Holy Week. May repost every day this week or even more.
If you aren’t willing to stand up loudly to rising fascism then please don’t call yourself Christian. Jesus hated fascists. I do too.

I have been a lifelong Christian and I now will no longer call myself that. The far right in America has corrupted the word and destroyed the values that Christ stood for and what all true followers should believe.

The actions of the trump regime since inauguration, across the board, are the greatest betrayal of America in its history. Treason is too small a word to describe it. The country is literally being attacked by its own government. No words.

My sad truth o 2/28/2035: I have never been a journal keeper. Today I started my first one to document the fall of America for my kids and grandkids to have when I’m gone. My kids are 35 and 21. My grandkids are 6 and 4. I pray for them.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald… you’ve have made America sign up with Russia... At one point, that would have been considered the act of a traitor. How do you defend this betrayal of your allies to the American people? If you think Canada is going to break right now, you’re in for a big shock.

Let it all come out. There will be a reckoning. Zelensky is a hero.
Vance: I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media...You should be thanking the president...
Zelenskyy: Have you ever been to Ukraine?...
Vance: I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour...

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

State Duma member Oleg Morozov said the meeting would be a lesson in humiliation, designed to condition Zelensky to capitulate to the US—and later to Russia.

Just emailed my congressman (Corey Mills, adulterer & abuser, gerrymandered district that was once solid blue) to demand five things he did last week to protect my rights and freedoms and stop the march towards authoritarianism. Requested a call to discuss. Expect I won’t get one. Will email daily.

I need help/advice while I still have time to work and save money. I’m so terrified for my future because I have no family to help me and I now understand my country won’t do one damned thing for me.
Is there anyone here who can help me plan my exit or next steps? 52, with a very rare disease that is progressively blinding me. Single in FL. Mom of a 21 year old brilliant college student who doesn’t have a dad. I work now but don’t know how much longer I will be able to. Need to get out!

Serious question…what are my options if I no longer have the energy to fight? I’m a single mom, my son is in college with the help of student loans and a Pell grant. I have an extremely rare disease that will eventually blind me. Without government funding my “family” can’t go on.
