Over the next four years, lots of people who think they don’t need the federal government are going to find out they’re wrong.

Unfortunately, the catastrophic consequences of that lesson won’t be limited to the people who needed to learn it. We are all well and equally fucked.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

If everyone worth more than $500,000,000 were paying their fair share, then no one would have $130,000,000 to donate to the Federal government.

Every word, save the word President, is from the Declaration of Independence, which makes me wonder if anyone in this administration has ever read it.

“Aha!” shouted RFK, Jr. “You can’t spell Tylenol without the word no!”

And that, kids, heralded the end of autism. Or the Amish. Or the word acetaminophen, which, even though it also contains the word no, is too difficult to pronounce.

Charlie Kirk, 2023:

“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

Driving to U of IL in Urbana-Champaign and we passed a large sporting goods store and my husband said “look at the size of that Dick’s” and then we almost drove off of the road because we were laughing so hard.

Watching the 41st anniversary Spinal Tap with my 16yo = amazing.

Watching my 16yo as he realizes that the Le Show guy is Derek Smalls = probably the best thing since watching him take his first steps.

I spent nearly a decade as a grown-ass adult staff member at a summer camp and my heart is breaking for Camp Mystic.

Summer camps have deep roots through communities of families that sometimes span generations. This is devastating for so many people.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

-Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East
-cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration)
-Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs)
-Allied assistance (we’ll need that now)
-Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.
