Jesus!
Iโ€™m in Maryland- my people already amped up.
What else to do?
This is a scary from a demented Donny.

She was right.
And I gleefully voted for her.
But I donโ€™t want her to run again.

Acts of war against boats from Venezuela, using force to disappear people, taking over %ages of private companies, private funding of WH demo with no oversight, using the WH to get rich on bitcoin, etcโ€ฆ

Iโ€™m not sure how we will make it until January!
And we are super fortunate- I have a good paycheck!
And I have family to turn to.
We wonโ€™t starve.

So many families donโ€™t have this. Weโ€™ve hit to rise up a FF against this fascist regime.

Exactly- this is nuts.

Screw people.

I also keep thinking about the recent book- by @yudkowsky.bsky.social

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Whereโ€™s the media on this?

A chart on X titled โ€œFood Stamps by Ethnicityโ€ showed that most people receiving SNAP benefits are non-white and noncitizens. But U.S. Agriculture Department data shows that the largest group of SNAP recipients by race is white.

The lies of the GOP & culters!

My son is 16 years old and is interested in joining the navy or Air Force- he likes the idea of adventure and free college.

I support my son- but no way can he serve under trump/ or any GOP leader as things currently stand.

Not sure how to guide him. ๐Ÿ˜”

One of my twins would feel the same.
Heโ€™s a good kid.
He is- never bullied anyone- decided as nice unteaches and parentsโ€ฆ
But he would think that was hysterical๐Ÿคฏ

Just released some new stuff with the skinner brothers.
Heโ€™s genreless- plays with literally all genres- but you see ska influence on many tracks.!

I have the tiniest inkling.
Iโ€™ve said before- I am a psychologist- empathy is my profession.
And I think Iโ€™m good.
Trump/ maga has broken me.
I say I know this but I donโ€™t.
I cannot grasp it.

It feels discouraging at best- or even hopeless at times.
And Iโ€™m white.
Canโ€™t imagine โ€ฆ
I am so angry
And so sorry
So very disgusted.
I think all I can do is try to use my unearned privilege to protest/ stand by/ defend, etc.
Feels quite inadequate.

A black friend told me that, in some ways, she preferred the south, where Iโ€™m from, bc down there, the racism was out in the open. She said sheโ€™d rather know.

white privilege takes effort to even see much less work to change individually & we are living in the backlash of systemic efforts.

Because most Americans are not informed enough to be sufficiently horrified about the private funding implications.

And the dems seem to be slow rolling their rage (fumbling with thesaurusโ€™s in the background) with a few exceptions ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ
& Iโ€™m just a psychologist- Iโ€™m sure thereโ€™s a ton Iโ€™m missing!

There is a portion of maga who totally wants to crash the govt and start over as an oligarchy (thiel).
They are gleeful and their goals have just been advanced with the private funding of the WH construction & military pay.
I guess Iโ€™m glad they are being so stupid about tariffs & Argentina. /1

This is massive.
Are we now an official oligarchy?
Where is the line?
This seems like at least a toe over.

My husband is a scientist- weโ€™ve lost them. At least the growing ones who have a choice where to practice.
The foreign students will evaporate. People donโ€™t seem to understand how much of our labor skilled/ unskilled is foreign & the gop seems to be doubling down.
Private funds for military pay!๐Ÿคฏ

Iโ€™m not sure most Americans have a clue how big and powerful we areโ€ฆ or at least we have been.

Not looking forward to living through a failing empireโ€ฆ but Iโ€™m not sure we could right the ship even if trump disappeared tomorrow.

The first four headlines on my apple news feed is extraordinary.

I just read something by another psychologist who said the same. Narcissist + sociopath + dementia spells disaster.

And because the US is still so powerful despite our current decline, this implosion will have a horrible impact worldwide.
I am an atheist but my only response is: god help us allโ€ฆ
