And also, when you are meeting needs out of genuine kindness, you aren’t freaking filming it. Anything else is performance art and it’s cruel.

So when they occupy Mars, do you think he realizes that laws are only as good as either the enforcement brought, or the morals of those with you? Money doesn’t matter once they’re gone. The currency changes.

I would like to not read or hear “FYI” again for a long while, omfg. If you are speaking to me, I assume it IS for my information.

Pansy arrived!! I can’t wait to start this!

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

Ok, I am doing digging to see if I remembered correctly and I found this. This was pre H Clinton running no less. And here we are. www.livescience.com/18706-people...

He’s trying for a fork. If he can’t run for a third term, he’s going to get us into a war of such epic proportions, he’ll try to claim we can’t have elections during a war.

I was thinking last night about a 7th grader social studies teacher I had. I remember manifest destiny and how it was pitched that great brave white people explored this unfounded place & discovered possibility…. I loved it and ate it up. Oh what I didn’t know. And that’s how this began.

The world’s top 10 billionaires, with a combined wealth exceeding $2 trillion in 2024, could eradicate extreme poverty globally, estimated at $350 billion annually, nearly six times over. Wealth like this isn’t just concentrated, it’s transformative if redistributed.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but shitty kings were beheaded or otherwise had early appointments with retirement.

Efficiency!

“The Monsters We Defy” is sooooo good. By Leslye Penelope. 47% in.

The more you know…💫

This gives both China and Canada a ton of power IMO, because America is GROSSLY overplaying its hand. Like grossly. The mad idiots don’t seem to get how much the world has actually been helpful to the US, while the US seems to do whatever TF it wants, while yelling how great they are.

A woman who fled to America to escape Afghanistan where women are subjugated was held for deportation by the Trump regime for being sent back to Afghanistan where she expected to be executed. 😢💔

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

This makes me want to cry. Damn... #read

Oh also remember when Israel was banning press networks too like Al Jazeera kinda like Trump is banning AP from covering the White House? Fascism kinda likes to keep the free press from doing its job.

I don't understand the value of being an asshole in this current climate. Everyone is teetering on the edge and one little push could send them over then you're part and parcel of someone's descent into darkness. It doesn't make sense to be indecent and decency isn't that hard either.

Between “but he’s not actually that rich because his wealth is tied up in assets that are companies” and “but the president doesn’t actually have a lot of power”, it’s gonna be a miracle if I make it through the next 4 years. If we have that long. I’m not hopeful, won’t lie.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

1995: “The internet will connect you to our business instantly!” 2025: No one answers emails. Websites bury phone numbers and chatbots can’t help you. When you do call, you’re either directed to automated helpers, closed extensions, or voicemails that remain unanswered. “Thanks for your business!”

Quoting to answer: abandonment. As a child told just to accept things that were clearly wrong. I want to give power to others, especially those who need it more than I do, to do greater things for themselves, and in turn, hopefully, others.

In case today’s media has forgotten, a reminder from journalist Malcolm W. Browne: “In a free society the duty of all newsmen is to tell all of the people all of the truth all of the time. The newsman is obliged to fight forces that interfere with this vital process."

I’m pretty sure I’m probably high on pain right now because now a headache has joined the full body pain, but what if we legit went into the farming communities and asked them what they want and need since clearly they don’t feel heard & it’s fking the rest of us.

Making insurance companies unaffordable, taking away Medicare and Social Security, while simultaneously preventing any disease control or vaccines sounds suspiciously like an attempt at genocide. Of the 99% who are a drag on 1%’s exponential profit taking.
