Remember Aesop’s Fable, ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’? It taught a valuable lesson about the consequences of lying. It stuck with me when I was a kid. It’s clear our president never read any of Aesop’s Fables. I just want to know when, for the love of our country, will he finally get eaten by the wolf?

My resting heart rate going from 68 to 80 in the past two months that Trump has been in office.

What this administration is doing to my heart rate, and my anxiety, is insane. But what this administration is doing to our country, and its people, and its allies, is absolutely terrifying. We need to wake the fuck up.

I am so sorry, Ukraine. 🇺🇦 What I wouldn’t give to have an honorable, fearless, truly decent leader, like President Zelenskyy.

Rachel Maddow just slayed her own company and I could not be more proud of her! She is fearless!!! Not only that, but she was not afraid to press Hakeem Jeffries to DO WHAT IT TAKES FOR DEMOCRACY.

Oh look! A bunch of sweet white girls brainwashed by their asshole maga parents! Can you imagine putting your daughter that close to a sex offender on purpose?

Total respect for that! I’ve been vegetarian since 2009, but I just can’t seem to give up eggs and dairy.

Although oddly it didn’t work when I linked it. Here’s a screenshot. Hmm.

At an Austin HEB today. Thanks Trump!

America’s highest peak, Denali.

America’s highest peak, Denali.

One of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful sites I’ve ever seen was Denali in August of 2021. It will always be Denali to me.

I think about this often with my mom. She’s 75. And her dream in high school was to be president. She instead dedicated her life to education. Im so sorry for our moms.

The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.

So when is he sending his wife back to Slovenia? Seriously, you cannot make this shit up. Let me guess, he’s going to ‘pardon’ her like he did the treasonous assholes who destroyed our capitol??

I understand that if they rigged it, it’s not a bigger thing FOR SURE. I’m not the enemy. I will never understand fully what that man is trying to say. I do understand that elections are at stake. I am a voter registrar and a volunteer for the Democratic Party. I want to work together. Not argue.

Just followed you. Let’s work together to do everything we can to stop fascism and save our country. 💙

We are on the same side. I am just trying to focus on the bigger things. For ex. suddenly only 2 sexes in our country? Birth-right citizenship is on the line? I HOPE they rigged it and I HOPE they suffer the consequences! I just don’t think that’s what he was incoherently rambling on about.

I found these at a thrift store for $7! And they happened to be my size. I only wear them when registering voters, door knocking, voting myself, or celebrations like this day 4 years ago. 💙

100% agree. We are f*cked. So we have to stay diligent. I am depressed that we once again have to do that for another 1.460 days. But tomorrow I will get up and do everything I can to change that. Together we will get through this. I hope.

I did watch. I am fully appalled by Trump. What I took from it was that Elon ‘saved’ Trump this go around, from it being ‘rigged’ again. To be clear, I do not support Trump at all and I cannot believe he was re-elected. But listen again as if he’s talking about 2020 vs 2024.

4 years ago was such a happy day. Wore my pearls, my RBG collar earrings, and my lady liberty chucks. Today, it’s yoga pants and depression. I cannot believe we are doing this again.

I watched the clips. And as much as I hate to believe that many Americans are brainwashed enough to vote for Trump, he was talking about the dems ‘rigging’ 2020. He was saying if they hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been able to be president during ‘26 and ‘28.

Can someone explain the Trump and Melania meme coins to me like I’m five? I am an idiot when it comes to crypto. Other than it sounding really grifter-ish, what’s it about? And is it illegal? Or should it be?

So I guess everyone who uses TikTok is moving to RedNote since TikTok is about to be banned.

But RedNote is just another TikTok, also from china, with a more ominous name.

I feel like I’ll look back on this post in 5 years and laugh. At either my ignorance or my brilliance.

BlueNote, anyone?
