Me too. So very tired and overwhelmed.

Same.

Every. Day.

Every. Damn. Day.

It can be very difficult in the early days (and sometimes periodically after), but it does get easier. The first thing I noticed when I got sober was no hangovers... then my head started to clear... then I was able to relax

Hell yeah! String those days together! They add up, and pretty soon, sobriety becomes the norm... keep it up!

Gaza is war ravaged. Ukraine is war ravaged. Portland had great coffee and Powell's Books.

And here we go...

Also... I was in Portland recently, and I can say that it is far from "war ravaged." I do highly recommend the zoo and the OMSI, though.

Cos … patriarchy. 😒

I love your optimism. I don't think we'll ever have another election... at least not one modeled after a Russian election.

I've never considered myself to be a conspiracy theorist...

Gotta admit that im pretty suspicious of just about every claim from this administration.

The "anti-ice" message today has the photoshopped "ms-13" tattoos feel to it.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Jimmy Kimmel’s back and he met the moment—calling on Americans to continue to stand up for free speech.

“This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this.”

He also chokes up as he resets what he meant about Charlie Kirk.

The sad thing is that im not even shocked.

If they freaked out at the "celebrations" after Charlie Kirk's death, imagine the disbelief and outrage they'll feel when we actually do CELEBRATE the death of the evil, orange blob.

Silencing smart people so dumb people won’t be offended is like unplugging the smoke alarm so the fire won’t feel bad.

a black and white photo of soldiers holding an american flag on top of a hill . Alt: Iwo jima, when Americans stood for ideals, not demagogues. This moment was paid for in blood. Gay, straight, jewish, Christian, atheist blood.

I'm ANTIFA. I have the toaster and letter jacket to prove it. Come at me bro. I believe in the constitution and Bill of rights, and that makes me ANTIFA. So just try it,
masked bitches. I love america, warts and all. You don't get to silence me.

It's all just theater. I don't believe any of what they've said. I don't know that all of it is untrue, but im certain the majority is created to fit a narrative.

The optimism... IF we have elections, they will mirror the "elections" in Russia.

Do it!!!!!!

Also... the was a homeless man and a black man found hanging from trees in Mississippi 2 days ago.

I've been feeling an increasing amount of fear over the past 9 months. I woke up today, read the headlines, and just want to cry. I won't give in, and I won't give up, but y'all... I'm scared.

Some guy is blaring out the Imperial March while following soldiers patrolling Washington DC
