I know times are bad because any date from the future (2034, 2078, 2026) sounds like it could be the title of a post-apocalyptic movie.

Experiencing unfounded anxiety that I can only assume is a result of the dystopian horror of our empire’s rapid and violent decline. 😅
It comes from going on with life as usual while we know damn well the ship hit the iceberg and we are now sinking fast without enough lifeboats…

Never assume for the future that any politician will keep to any values that may have aligned with yours in the past.
Politicians do not run on consistency or liberation. They run on profit.
If they align, we leverage it, but we remain vigilant about all positions open to shifting at any moment.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

Being an adult is mostly just going to bed
when you don't want to and also
waking up when you don't want to.
when you don't want to and also
waking up when you don't want to.

Time for another round of the fun game "Why did I wake up in the middle of the night last night?"--is it anxiety? Perimenopause? The rapid deconstruction of my country and our democracy?
