This is insane to know that Dems joined in voting to censure Rep Al Green.

Looks like Dems keep on being Dems.

Powerful systems don’t always need force—they need people to accept control willingly. The question is: Are we paying attention or celebrating our own servitude?

"A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude."
— Aldous Huxley, Brave New

White House pauses federal grant, loan other assistance programs The Trump administration has temporarily paused grant, loan and other financial assistance programs at the Office of Management and Budget, according to a memo seen by Reuters.

I guess this is part of the FO phase. 🤬

This dumb ass still doesn’t understand that tariffs only punish Americans.

If I had a net worth of 2.7 Billion dollars, I would get over it too. But since I'm living in the real world, Jamie Dimon can FUCK OFF!!!

Mississippi, we are not okay.

This is going to be terrible. We will never know the extent of the abuse of this program.

We’ve been here before and learned that together, we persist. The challenges ahead are real, but so is our strength. Let’s lean on each other, act purposefully, and hold onto hope. We’ve overcome before and will again—united, resilient, unstoppable. #Resilience #Hope #UnitedWeStand

Looks like the City of Hernando will continue with the racism. Then tries to justify it with adding a MS code.

I was holding out hope that old guard republicans were going to push back on this.

I was wrong. I shouldn’t be surprised.

I got out of bed.

I’m compiling a book list and would love your recommendations! I’m open to all genres but especially interested in:

• Productivity & Personal Development
• Leadership & Professional Growth
• Inspiring Fiction
• Health & Wellness

Which book has made the biggest impact on you?

It’s incredibly tone-deaf for Boomers to criticize their Generation Z grandchildren about the election.

I don’t think it will play out like they think it will. #fafo

"If you're eager to learn—even if you aren't particularly talented—then you can make it a long way despite your shortcomings.

But if you're not eager and curious, you'll find your natural abilities often fall short of what is required."

The future may feel uncertain, but every step forward is progress. Trust the process, embrace growth, and find joy in the journey.

What’s one thing you’re hopeful about, even if the path isn’t clear?

Let’s share and inspire each other.

I completely understand this feeling. Anywhere in particular you are looking?

I've got a junior in high school, so the earliest would be after May 2026. Who knows what things will be like then? At that point, I would have an incoming 8th grader. We could maybe make the move then or wait until he is done with high school.

We also don't plan on sticking around once my kids are out of school, but when we look at the options, there isn't much to consider.

Those are all very real things to think about.

Not knowing what will happen in the next 4 years, I've already told her she may also need to look at Europe. It would break my heart for her to go that far, but I want her to follow her passion.

Being in MS is tough. My daughter is studying Environmental Policy at USM and dreams of making a difference. I’m proud of her, but it’s hard knowing there aren’t many opportunities here for her passion. #EnvironmentalPolicy #Mississippi

That's true, but I started losing hope in the MSM not to think about profit first.

This is the appropriate response!

This is so disappointing.

A lot of people are going to express shock when they see images of the National Guard ripping abuelas out of the doors of their homes.

But it'll be exactly what they voted for.

Many others who voted for it will be cheering.

A human rights atrocity is coming to America.

These two are the best. Lola and Cocoa.
