No one is coming to save us and no one is stepping up to stop the Felon-in-Chief. If we want change, we have to make it happen.

None of this would be happening if Republicans had held Trump accountable after his January 6 insurrection.

Remember that.

I say his gently, but…

There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.

Not because its government doesn’t fix it —

but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.

That’s the part that sits wrong.

I would be totally fine if Trump's name were redacted from EVERYTHING. Buildings, books, his likeness, his name, the human consciousness...all of it. Just him erased from all history for all time to come.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I cannot wait for the day when Donald Trump’s name is removed from the Kennedy Center. It will happen, just not soon enough.

It will take decades to correct the damage wrought by this presidency. And that’s assuming we get the chance.

The next time you hear conservatives railing against "handouts for the poor," remind them that we should really be cutting corporate welfare — unnecessary and unwarranted aid for profitable corporations that are dependent on the taxpayer.

Unpopular opinion for some reason: I really like slow burn stories that get you invested in the characters and set up a reason for being.

Stories that require patience that I now can show again

I'm so ready to be invested in so many worlds...

Unemployment hit a four year high in November.

The cost of groceries, utilities, and housing have all gone up.

People are choosing between paying their rent or keeping their health insurance.

But billionaires and corporations got $1 trillion in tax breaks.

Priorities.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Congressional Republicans are making it harder for people to access the benefits they earned, so they can claim the Social Security Administration doesn't work.

Make no mistake: Trump and the Republicans are coming for Social Security.

Why hasn't a journalist asked trump
WHAT DOES PUTIN HAVE ON YOU?
RUSSIA IS OUR ENEMY AND HAS BEEN FOR DECADES. WHY ARE YOU ABANDONING A DEMOCRATIC SOVEREIGN NATION LIKE UKRAINE, AND ALLOWING PUTIN TO RAVAGE THEIR COUNTRY?
Why aren't journalists asking him these questions? NATO wants an answer too.

Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

Woke: Writing more to get better at writing

Bespoke: Writing more so you have an excuse to commission your friends for art to go with your stories

"No one is helpless. No one is beyond helping." One part of the Log Lady's message in Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier I read today. All of the Log Lady's segments in the extra intros and supplemental material is getting to me way more these days. Think I used to just gloss over them.
