I need people to stop telling me that simpsons, or Octavia butler, or south park, or 1984, or whatever episode or book from the past was "predicting the future." It wasn't. It was very much criticizing what was happening then and there, and no one wanted to listen until it affected them directly.

Swasticars? Did someone say Swasticars? I thought we weren't supposed to SAY Swasticars, because saying Swasticars was bad for Pres. Musk? #Swasticars

Anything that might stop an old white man from discriminating against a woman, or a person of a different race or creed or culture, is being systematically dismantled. Apparently, America was "great" somewhere around the mid-1800s.

Maybe we’re just bad at math. Seems like this whole β€œDOGE saving America money” thing is a hoax. Facts matter.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administrationβ€”that Elon’s staffers have only β€œread-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have β€œadministrative” access to computer systems.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Not too long ago, Elon was doxing government employees on X. Where was the outcry of β€œYou’re breaking the law” then? These employees feared for their families’ safety.

It seems like FOTUS is focused on continuing to kick the other side when they're down, in an attempt to keep them dispirited and unable to form a coherent strategy for resistance.

And, in my case, it's working. I need to figure out a way to spark up my inner fire again. There's nothing right now.
