I fear the working class has handed over any power we might’ve had by pushing for the rich to “get political”. Now most political activists are a part of the upper class/elite & their actions often amount to a publicity stunt. I think, too, conflating celebrity w/ policy has led to Trump in office.

They are definitely wanna be cops who couldn’t get through cop school or were too lazy/drunk to stay in the job.

US bombed 3 Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran."

We are now in an undeclared war at home and abroad in under 5 months of the second Trump Administration. Is everyone feeling great, yet?

I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

Remember we were so worried about TikTok getting our data that we banned it? Then we gave Elon Musk and his cronies access to Social Security and Medicare benefits, tax refunds, federal salaries, and other sensitive information.

If you are a federal employee, it is advised to set your social media accounts to private to prevent outside viewership, as reports suggest that loyalty screenings have begun.

2025 is a year that I hope we find unity. First let’s unify around spending money at the box office at movies we love & absolutely ignore the Oscars. The fact that a bad transphobic musical made by a cishet French dude is sweeping : tells us everything we need to know. #theoscars #oscarnominations
