Grumpy Auntie 🟦💙

I'm so damn tired of the US cycle where Republicans kill our economy, move wealth to the richest 1%, and start a war and then Dems have to clean it up. Then once they get on the right path, Americans are impatient or fixate on some GOP created culture war, and think they should have fixed it all in less than 2 years and re-elect GOP liars who will start the cycle again. Absolutely exhausting.

It's absolutely fucking exhausting.
Everything bad right now in this country is 100% voters' fault.
NONE of this shit had to happen. ALL of it could have been prevented. Voters in this country, most emphatically WHITE voters, need to get a fucking clue and break this pattern of self-destruction.

Today's quote (author unknown by me):

"Here's the thing about avoiding harsh truths:
Avoiding them does not make them any less true, or any less harsh."

Ma’am. All this.

Failed for who?

CMS Imposes Six-Month Moratorium on Medicare Enrollment of DMEPOS Suppliers CMS issued a Federal Register notice imposing a six-month nationwide moratorium on new Medicare enrollments for seven types of Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) ...

Keep this in the news!

Keep talking about it!

I know this administration is awful & it can be overwhelming but we have to find a way to show folks how this administration is harming EVERYONE.

Cutting off DME is not a partisan issue. It’s an American problem.

Thank you, for sharing exactly the advice I needed, from Squeaky ☺️

The Saudis also wanted him to attack Iran as per abundant reporting. The over-focus on Israel to the exclusion of the Saudi and Arab states' influence is itself antisemitic.

AS A DEMOGRAPHIC they are lazy, incurious, and ignorant; but at the same time AS A DEMOGRAPHIC they think they should ALWAYS be listened to, ALWAYS be in charge, ALWAYS be deferred to.

400 years of white male supremacy have made them, *as a demographic,* the dumbest motherfuckers on Earth.😉

Yes, you are a demographic. Refusing to accept this perpetuates the problem. Start with yourself. Read bell hooks The Will To Change. Take responsibility to do better the way I need to as a white woman. Stop needing to be special more than you think you should do better.

Have you nothing to say?

At the very least, you can stop gaslighting the rest of us by a) pretending there’s nothing you helpless children can do, or b) it’s our fault because we didn’t fix things for you with power you never gave us.

The answer is always so simple as long as it doesn’t involve white men even sharing power, let alone stepping back from power.

They are unserious children right now to try to gaslight us with this bullshit.

Not MIRED in cognitive dissonance!

The solution is for white men to accept the responsibility of what white men in power with privilege have been doing to this planet and to all of us on it whi don’t share their privilege.

But you would rather act like fragile children and watch the world burn with all of us in it, than share power.

We cannot even get white men to ACKNOWLEDGE the FACT that they are the ONLY demographic whose civil and human rights have NEVER been abrogated or even QUESTIONED on this continent.

It’s nearly impossible to get them to stop and consider this actual fact.

White men would rather be lazy children than face what they are being asked to face as adults who hold all the effing power!!

Until you get past this stay the fuck out of Black people’s mentions cause that’s how I found you. Make a plan and execute it and leave us the fuck alone. We aren’t as dumb as yall act like you are.

This act is so lame, bro. 🤣🤣🤣. The only option is to convince YOUR PEOPLE to put race aside and instead yall act like a toddlers lost in the mall. That’s the fucking problem with you people. You’d figure it out if you wanted to but this obtuse infantile act is less work.

My hope for something better involves the white men who have been in power getting over themselves, getting over holding all the power, getting over, deciding who is worthy, getting over a lack of justice for their own kind who perpetrate crimes.

Start there.

The goal is to get over white male supremacy.

Because white male supremacy has failed to bring civil rights, enviro justice, and the promise of the Preamble, let alone the Constitution. White male power won’t step aside to let someone else have a turn, or we would have at least one woman POTUS.

The gaslighting is epic. We, however, are fully awake and not admired in cognitive dissonance.

White men need to stop doing a Mitch McConnell, and let go of the freaking lectern to step aside. Because they have obviously failed— CONSISTENTLY failed.

Do you understand that white men, and ONLY white men, have NEVER had your civil and *human* rights abrogated or even QUESTIONED on this continent.

For you, a white man, to say that our strategy “has consistently failed” completely ignores that it’s failures have been because of WHITE MEN.

Me every day.

Fix it Jesus😭

Guess someone knew better than to say “two weeks” 😑

This is exactly how it should be framed.

They told y’all to eat liver and cut back on expenses for your children so they can eat lobster and send your kids to war.

🗣️Keep talking about it. Tell everyone you know…especially republicans.

It is a cool sunny day, perfectly clear skies, with a light breeze.

A rooster is announcing his presence.

Small planes putt putt, competing with lawnmowers for sound dominance.

This moment is peace, quiet, normalcy. I hope all three find you for a little while, respite from the world’s horrors.

It's not just you!! I've been added to nasty lists, plenty of them in antipathy to my values.

Samesame--this place is starting to smell bad.

Malcolm Kenyatta was also in the primary. He was/is further left than Fetterman and is a member of the LGBTQ community.

Y’all didn’t want a progressive...you wanted a straight ⚪️progressive.

YouGov poll offers that 50% of polled disagree with the intervention in Iran.

No kidding.
