Because the “American Dream” propaganda told to us all — maybe that will be me! All the while the possibility of moving up economically with “bootstraps” and hard work is more impossible than it has ever been. And so, here we are. Where we have always been. Worse. Cruelty and hate continues.

The robber barons are more powerful than ever. Workers have less rights and some of the poorest communities have been inundated with propaganda that makes them not know how to organize and unite, but instead support the Musks, Trumps, Zuckerbergs, Bezos oppressors

Anyway. It’s well-written, relevant. Especially when the Trump administration is literally rewriting history at the Smithsonian and in school curriculum. We’re 150 years later and the U.S. is in many ways worse/the same. Capitalism and cruelty is still king. The myth of America needs to be unmasked

that got suffocated, destroyed, oppressed later with the KKK, Jim Crow, redlining, gerrymandering, and racist policing. Booker T. Washington was an enslaved person who had the ability to build colleges, power, a movement! A black child born in poverty in the U.S. now has less ability to move up

…the hate for immigrants while using them, the well-done historical depiction of how Black Americans less than 20 years out of the civil war had more opportunity to organize, and ability to build up their own communities with businesses and colleges…

The robber barons, the lack of desire by the rich to pay a living wage to people that make them money, to pay taxes, to support healthcare for everyone, the cruelty, the use of “the Army” to threaten & murder the working class so they’ll continue accepting unlivable wages to make more for the rich

But I might inch in slowly for little things. My dumb inspiration right now? “The Gilded Age” season 1 did not pull me in. But with a lack of good shows, I went back to watch season 2. I am struck by the parallels of 1883 in the U.S. to now.

If you pay attention & care, I’m preaching to the choir. If you don’t, you lack empathy & desire for awareness that I don’t know how to teach. I’d be arrogant to think I could. You feel good & safe? Don’t care about what’s happening to others?(There IS a cat in this pic. And that’s how I feel too)

I’m going to pepper posts with Renato #catpics to give some fuzzy nose-bump relief. Fell off socials. When you are locked into the news daily and it only gets worse every day globally (not hyperbole, realism) — it feels pointless and exhausting to continue to comment on the constant degradation

Bought a new GPS tracker for Renato from an Italian company. When I say Italy takes the World Cup in fat-shaming, believe it. This app sent me a message not only fat-shaming my cat, but also me! (FOR THE RECORD: I walked 8.5 miles the day before 😂). Ma vafannculo va. Rena is unaffected by the haters

We Americans deserve to be questioned and yelled at by non-Americans, but I can’t tell you how exhausting/depressing it is to be seen as a U.S. representative by every Italian that hears my accent. I don’t blame them. I get it. I agree. But the face plant of shame and embarrassment is daily now.

It seems my aspirations at being a crow lady were short-lived, look at this guy guarding the peanuts. To be fair, the terrace is Renato’s sovereign territory, and I admire his Zelenskyy-esque dedication to protecting it from invaders at all cost

The peanuts have gone missing every day, but we weren’t sure if it was seagulls (local alt-right gym bros), parakeets (rich evangelicals who don’t care about anyone but themselves, shit everywhere, and their shit is like immovable cement) or our target friends. Today we saw them in action! Yesss!

With so much dumb in the world right now, we’ve been trying to befriend some intelligent beings— our neighborhood crows — by leaving peanuts

While promising to gut the Pentagon, the first two people fired are the Joint Chiefs Chairman, Gen. Charles Brown Jr., a black man, and Naval Chief Adm. Lisa Franchetti — a woman.

Today is Election Day in Germany, the biggest leader for liberal democracy in EU for decades, and the far-right party backed by Musk and Trump has a chance. And this is Renato pawing me out of bed, because there is no time for depression or existential dread. Forza Germania! Please don’t let us down

Each of my Instagram posts since Jan 20, 2025 have been a letter to my mother, who voted and campaigned to her eight (yes EIGHT) liberal/progressive kids for Trump. The only thing she cares about is the lie her religion has taught her about abortion. It’s her gateway and permission to fascism.

To say it was unhinged is an understatement. (Oh, if you’re wondering about this pic? Yeah. I HAD TIME, so I went in 5 years later. The flag and is cheaper & smaller, used as a curtain to the back room, but he proudly unfurled it and posed when I fawned, saying, wow an American flag!

Italian Anti-Fascist Superhero Cats wear red capes and are not affected by lies and sad little men with low self-esteem who think they can control us. We wash/shake that off and drive on!
