listen don't worry about me - no one's ever been mad at me - worry about all of us BUT THEN CRUCIALLY find ways to act, to relieve the worry

help a friend move, give twenty bucks to a stranger, make soup to eat by yourself or to share, find a good local org and volunteer, pet a cat for a while, etc

"identified possible candidates to take over Iran" is an important and telling phrase here, in case anyone actually thought that "promoting democracy" was a real goal.

If you're Autistic watching soap operas is great because they explain why they are mad πŸ˜‚

Flat Affect is a clinically significant lack of emoting in face and vocalization … some Autistic ppl have that but Flat facing is much less intense … often referred to as β€œResting B*tch Face”

It causes many people to think we are upset or suppressing.

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Jasmine Crockett: β€œI want to remind the american people that we have a constitution β€” what we are clearly witnessing is lawlessness yet again from this administrationβ€”

My question to Speaker Johnson is how many ppl are going to have to die bc this president just decided to do whatever he wanted to”

Maybe it’s just because I have a lot going on rn but it seems like Mamdani isn’t doing anything about this?

Just hoping folks don’t cause too big a stink over it?

The season 4 finale of FBI was delayed because it featured a school shooting at an inconvenient time (5/24/2022), and it's making me think about how Earshot (4/27/99) was delayed for the same reason. It's been decades of acting like the best solution to school shootings is to postpone TV episodes.

Trump likes to talk about things that interest him and things he can brag about.

Dead soldiers don't fall into either of these categories.

You say things like β€œnot a single person in the entire Trump Administration has the first clue how to do their jobs” and you sound like a crazed lunatic but it really is true.

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

Community members, public officials push back against ICE expansion into metro Detroit - WDET 101.9 FM The Southfield office and planned detention center in Romulus come as the Trump administration massively increases the budget for ICE.

β€œCut the utilities, condemn the building, demo it, take it under eminent domain, whatever you can do. Make it impossible for them to use our neighborhood for a concentration camp,” he said.

β€œThis will not be solved by a harshly worded letter or resolution. We need action.”

Whether its because Americans recognize it is illegal, or because they recognize 60% of Americans already can't make ends meet, or because they remember Trump promised "no new wars"β€”or all of the aboveβ€”only 25% of Americans support Trump's illegal war on Iran.

Block the trolls. Block the bombs.

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us β€œsexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it

Anywho, there's no better time than now to put your ideas out there and invite other people to do things with you. Might as well try. You don't have to know everything before starting. You can just start.
