It's time to ditch toxic social media platforms To survive Trump's return, Dr. Gail Christopher heeds, "we must practice disciplines that calm our nervous system"

What does it mean to be an American now that Donald Trump, the country’s 1st president convicted of criminal felonies, is once again the leader of the free world?

Part of that task will continue to be weeding out falsehoods. I urge us all to follow trustworthy news sources and to fact check before resharing. Reacting to false threats just gets in the way of responding to the real ones. Snopes and Heather Cox Richardson are good places to start ❀️

My FB feed is so full of misinformation from"liberal" sources at the moment. I'm hoping we all settle down a bit, soon, so we can get down to the serious work of resistance. We (i.e. those who see our democracy in serious danger) need to focus on responding to the very real threats.

Right-Wing Extremists Are Abuzz Over Musk's Straight-Arm Salute Right-wing extremists are abuzz over Elon Musk giving an awkward straight-armed salute during an inauguration rally for Donald Trump.

The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

This kind of good government policy that actually matters in the lives of voters rarely if ever gets attention in the media and when it kicks in, the beneficiaries rarely know why it happened or who to thank, which is how you end up w/the election result in November πŸ™ƒ

If I was a billionaire and rich enough to be able to pay off debts, mortgages, student loans and medical bills for thousands upon thousands of people - I’d be like the Santa and the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny all rolled into one! Nice waitress? Here’s 10k. Kid smiled at me on the street? 5k.

Must say I’m genuinely confused by anyone whose main reason to be on any social media is to β€˜get followers’ as opposed to β€˜discover cool and interesting new people to talk to’.

It appears that the person who ratted out this 20-year old Texas abortion patient to the cops was the man who impregnated her, which leads me to my sad but essential reminder: if you are having an abortion in a ban state, tell as few people as possible, and importantly, do not tell your boyfriend.

Donald Trump lost more jobs than any President in history.

Joe Biden created more jobs in one term than any President in history.

And Trump is going to "save us" from Biden's economy? Facts have no meaning anymore.
