...And boomers wonder why we aren't having kids.

#Inflation is still blowing up but #Trump is laying off more #government employees AND those who aren't being #laid-off will be getting reduced paychecks going forward. Tell me this isn't cruelty to the American people? Trump is a terrible person!

"I was shocked. I was like, 'this is unprofessional,' this is not what the VA is for. We did not swear an oath to a party."

07.10.2025 22:08 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The MAGA cult isn’t patriotic. It’s a mob of zealots mistaking blind loyalty and fanaticism for love of country. Their “freedom” is submission, their “faith” is control, and their “patriotism” is forcing others to kneel before their delusions.

Democracy is about to fail. Donald Trump just floated using the insurrection act against political opposition and cities that oppose him. That is basically alluding to an act of civil war.

Generic brand coffee has almost doubled in price (since the tangerine toddler got into office) at my local Fred Myers. Are we great yet? 🤬

Why is it so hard to find people that work in mental health? Well, the BLS has some data that could help with that information. We keep complaining about mental health issues but nobody wants to pay for them. It's a job that requires a master's degree but pays so little that it is basically poverty.

Shame on the #VeteransAdministration to bowing to partisan horse crap from the #Trump regime. I don't want to hear this kind of toxic crap from the #Republicans speaking ill of #Democrats. Do better!

• The Senate
• The House

... But somehow they're blaming the Democrats for not being able to pass a spending bill to prevent a government shutdown.
Logic me that one Sherlock! 🙄

At least they would be identifiable; unlike the plain clothes ICE agents that are not identifying themselves. I'm absolutely terrified of this because how do we know if they are acting in a federal capacity or if they are malicious actors abducting people? They are putting us all at risk!
28.09.2025 00:28 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0These plain clothes #ICE agents are putting us ALL at risk because we the general public don't know who they are. If I saw two men in plain clothes tackle a woman as she was screaming and them refusing to identify, I would likely draw on them thinking the woman was being abducted!
This has to stop!
