Soldiers rest before a battle, a tired fighter is no fighter at all, Rest friend.
Trying not to be political but - if you're feeling overwhelmed by everything going on, confused even, and finding yourself wanting to disengage - that's the point. That is their goal. It's ok to take breaks for mental health. The "shock and awe" approach is designed to disorient and disengage you.

Its always the most patriotic that destroy the country, those who seek to return to a past "glory" instead of carving out a future one in mutual respect and cooperation with the world
Elon Musk, that avatar or arrogance, is trashing the US Constitution. Trumpers, is this what you voted for? An end to America?

They say women are so emotional but then a man goes and buys an entire social media platform so he can win another man an election because he can’t himself run for president so he can go ruin all the organizations he holds grudges against, sure bro.

Never count out the American woman, her strength is limited only to her imagination
Anyway, I have a feeling women are about to play a critical role in this season of America. Hence why folks were trying to brainwash folks with the tradwife nonsense.
A woman with agency can take on ANY fragile men.

When people create brutal acts of evil that harms so many others it is a dangerous form of toxic dark energy . It cannot sustain. Light destroys darkness. Stay in the light .try not to succumb to fear. (I’m saying this to myself)

Politics has been forever people whining about their own power and ambition, their supposed strength and their beef with one another. So often politics has little to do with the people being served, but rather with the egos of those "serving"
really wild to think that a lot of this boils down to two narcissistic manbabies with daddy issues getting their feefees hurt when people made fun of them

"I am the people's politician. If the day should ever come when the people can't save me, I'll know I'm finished"
The death of a democracy occurs when the people lose their power. Power is freely given, even if the givers dont realize it. The lack of action, is action enough.

"We must reject not only the stereotypes that others have of us but also those that we have of ourselves"
We must learn to throw off our own ideas about ourselves, those are often the most lethal. A shot taken, known that it will land perfectly is more dangerous then any foreigner to the land

"When morality comes up against profit, it is seldom that profit loses"
When the American people put a business man in power they must have forgot what business is. Morality dies in the powerful's heart, but thrives only in the heart that is powerful.

Remember that in trying times, we cant simply stand by and allow trouble to come down upon us, but rather step into action to defend our values from destruction
