Am scared. Am tired. I am also sometimes emotionally numb. I may not post a lot. I just need to be with a sane minded community. 🕊️

Trump isn’t picking people for substance, he’s selecting them for how they look on TV. We will have a cabinet of coiffured , chisel chinned , spray tanned , incompetents who wont know the difference between a microphone and microeconomics

Chattel slavery belongs in many, many terrible categories, and it absolutely includes that of deportation (forced resettlement) & concentration camps (plantations).

The Guardian announced they have stopped posting on X, citing “disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism .. X is a toxic media platform and its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.”

I do wonder how a Secretary Hegseth will deal with declining enlistment if he thinks that women don’t belong and that black and brown Americans should not aspire to anything more than grunt work in the military.

I love it that there is always a Middle Eastern proverb for situations at hand:
“When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a sultan. The palace becomes a circus”

To a lot of Americans, everyone who isn’t a white straight cis guy is an “elitist.”
Our culture *unquestionably accepts* it when millionaire MAGA dudes who own car dealerships claim THEY’RE not elite, but librarians who make $30K and listen to NPR
ARE “elite.”
We should stop accepting it.
