I’ve never been more angry & disgusted to write checks to IRS & Missouri Dept of Revenue. Forced to fund two governments actively making life worse for so many while enriching the few.

Trump is talking about shuttering publications and networks he disagrees with. He's talking about deporting and imprisoning Americans who dissent. This is unprecedented and undemocratic. Wake up America.

Some of the largest rallies were in the reddest of places. Salt Lake City was enormous. There were at least 3 in St. Louis area, incl a very red suburb. All 50 states. Many older, white who probably never protested before. Start of unity/movement?

Driving thru bright red Missouri yesterday and two separate men in pick up trucks with Trump/1776 etc stickers were aggressively gesticulating at me, clearly yelling while I minded my own biz in right lane. You’d think they’d be so happy now, right? So much winning in their side. Why so angry?

🧵 Trump’s Financial Coup & the Coming Election Crisis Trump is rebuilding the U.S. government in real-time to lock in permanent GOP rule. With DOGE controlling all federal payments and pardoned extremists threatening violence, elections will be manipulated at the source. It’s already beginning. ⬇️

The effort to erase the history, accomplishments, humanity and celebration of all non-white Americans is an abomination. The erasure is to keep us from learning what white men have done to minority communities, and prevent them from having to admit it, also to show us they have the power to do it.

When an elderly woman in the dairy section randomly told me I looked tired, my first reaction was to smile. But then immediately felt like shoving her or yelling YOU LOOK OLD. How rude. No reason to say that to any stranger. #christmasvibes

Is there a dentist shortage? Finding one has been like a part-time job. My dentist retired and I have spent weeks calling places to get appointments only to get no call back at all or be told they don’t prefer my insurance. Finally found a place that said they have an appointment in May 2025.
