Will probably have the ADHD kick in and talk cats, books, movies, music, video games.
Eternally in a war between nihilism and optimism. Join me, at the very least I promise it’ll be entertaining.

I love with the ACA has done for people with pre-existing conditions. But.
Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system.
For the subsidized silver/94 and /87 plans, around ~15 % of taxpayer $ stays with ins comps!

So a bunch of rental companies get sued for rent fixing and suddenly one bedroom apartments in Dallas are cheaper than I’ve seen them in my adult life? Interesting.
Fun Fact: My current apartment management company is in the lawsuit. :/

So Trump doubled down on his batshit crazy base’s worst impulses and Dems just sit and make small talk with him. Hate this country so much, we deserve what’s coming. Coulda at least given him the could shoulder.

Families like the Trumps don’t sacrifice their own lives or the lives of their children. They convince poor people to sacrifice their lives on their behalf.

“…Our mission is to reduce spending in a meaningful way so we can get, restore fiscal sanity… so raising the debt limit is a necessary step so we don't give the appearance that we're going to default…”
All I hear is: Give us a blank check and we will totally balance the budget. 🙄

Starting the year with “1984” and “It Can’t Happen Here”, because apparently living in a real life dystopia wasn’t painful enough for me.

It’s really weird that people will say workers who think the minimum wage should be livable are greedy, then turn around and say billionaires just want their worth. The lack of cognitive dissonance is astounding.

Just a reminder to those who forgot (or went through the Texas public education system and never knew)… Texas declared independence from Mexico because Mexico outlawed slavery and Anglo settlers didn’t want that.

They say power corrupts, but I think it attracts the corrupt.
I wish more people who have absolutely no interest in the prestige or privilege of public office would run.

There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

It’s almost like media isn’t about knowledge and information, but rather views and money.
An excerpt from my book, Shameless: "Left-wing media gains its 'unbiased' legitimacy by criticizing Democrats. Not to be confused with right-wing media, which also gains legitimacy by criticizing Democrats."
I'm not saying that leftwing media needs to be groveling simps for the Democratic Party...

I feel mislead by all dystopian literature. It's supposed to be a powerful authoritarian government that lords over a cowering population, and and we just need need a few brave acts of heroism to give the people the courage to rise up.
Instead it's just half the country being dumb and mean.
