Solo mom here. One child (now 19 years old). I pay over $600 a month for health insurance for 2 people! If Republicans keep-up with their budget games, my health insurance cost will double! Keep in mind, it’s healthcare insurance through my employer who already pays a share of it. Sickening!

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Technology has brought us here. Social media has brought us here. We’ve all invited this technology into our lives not realizing how it’s been used against us. How hard will it be to revolt against this new norm? I’m 60 years old. Letter writing is a lost art. We can resist this dystopian future.

A billionaire class ruling the scene
Revolution is ready & ripe
The sci-fi future is so obscene
Tyrants and AI, we will fight
Their dystopian dream
Will die by our extreme
Willing to disengage
From what they think they own
We’re thinking Mad Max at Thunderdrome!

Fascism & AI

We’ve seen this before in history
Our grandparents fought that war
Generations later, it’s now our turn
Our leaders rotten to the core
We’ve come to this in short order
One man & his regime
Have broken at last our constitution and the American dream
The 40yr denigration has come this

I lived in a 3rd world country for 2 years (against my will) and eventually escaped. As an American, the things I witnessed there were shocking. I wanted to kiss the ground when I finally made it back home to the US. Oddly, I now think of those years as training ground for what’s to come in the US.
