I was at this event and can say with all sincerity, Jess is a force to be reckoned with. We have to get in the way of fascist if we want to save America and its values - its true values. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
have, but do you think I can save or invest that? August and September are my 2 most expensive months of the year, aside from December (homeowner's insurance then, estimating $2250 this year) with my propane bill and county taxes. Those will be another $2200. Thank goodness for bonuses...?

Well, groceries are costing me an average of $110/week FOR JUST ME and my cats (I am a raw pet food advocate/feeder) AT ALDI and this month my car license is due, which is $150. Yes it's ~$110 more than I would

This is what I've been saying but we're so chained to our corporate overloads that we continue to go to work every day like nothing's changed. Social media is so many voices to try to organize something would be a miracle, but also very easy if the right people spoke up. Like Democrats.

I believe we need more screaming "fuck you's" from our side, because that's the only way to answer their "fuck you's" to us, which is what they did by taking away the rights of people legally allowed to be here, also decimating federal programs, and institutions.
