May is ALS Awareness Month, and for good reason!
Did you know that ALS is expected to increase by 70% by 2030?

ALS affects motor neurons, causing the person to lose the ability to move, speak, eat and breathe.

Still think cutting research is a good idea?

How Project 2025 is shaping Trump's second term Journalist David Graham says the aim of the creators of the conservative action plan Project 2025 is to push the federal government "as far to the right as they can." His new book is The Project.

Well worth the listen of the interview with the author of โ€œThe Projectโ€
No fluff or dramatics. Just conversation about the architects of Project 2025 and the direction they are going to take the US.

Iโ€™m sorry for your loss. Iโ€™ve been on this journey over 10 years now. My husband a veteran as well, and we are well taken care of. Itโ€™s the newly diagnosed families not getting access to care.

Being a caregiver to someone with ALS is hard.
Do you know whatโ€™s harder?
Watching social services and veterans benefits being cut that so many families with ALS and other diseases rely on to simply survive.

At Matt's Place Foundation, weโ€™re building hope, dignity, and a community of support for families facing ALS.

Our mission is bold: to provide sustainable, adaptive, technologically advanced housing, financial assistance to those navigating one of the most devastating diagnoses imaginable.

What does resistance look like?

Paying for goods and services that align with your interests.

Posting memes and satire in social media platforms constantly.

Picking fights with keyboard warriors where no one wins.

Showing up for anti-oligarchy rallies.

Honestly, is this the best we can do?

Throw all the MAGAts in jail, for treason, conspiracy, fraud and then make it clear they are not allowed to circumvent the constitutional laws that are in place to avoid the very thing we all let happen before our very eyes.

I see that while everyone was looking one way (tariffs), the ever competent administration has decided that the Social Security Administration should have its communication platform moved to X.

On a side note, the DOJ is sending US Marshals to intimidate people who are testifying before Congress.

I havenโ€™t blocked anyone yet, but I wonโ€™t follow them back if they seem suspicious.

I canโ€™t tell how I should feel when I get notified that someone has blocked meโ€ฆ
Like, should I be sad that they didnโ€™t even tell me why?
Or rage with indignation that they have the audacity to block me without giving me a chance to argue my side?

Nevermindโ€ฆ fuck them! I didnโ€™t like them anyway!

We are somewhere between 1930โ€™s Germany and Putinโ€™s Russia.

The man that raised me was as penny pinching as they come.

Highly recommend everyone start learning these ways. It could help when no one can afford modern day luxuries.

I have no idea why Russia isnโ€™t listed, maybe it was because our fearless leader has been suckling his Balls for decades now?
