As I try my best to enter my 92% bubble, I have nothing but respect for the Dems in Congress. I’m sure they’re exhausted and their jobs have become nearly impossible now. My prayers are with them- they are warriors who cannot disengage while we have some liberty to do so

So now we're clear: no matter WHAT HAPPENS, they're going to pin it on DEI policy, somehow. These are not dog whistles. They're not even truly coded at this point. We all know what they mean. Project 2025 is about straight white men remaining the center of absolute power and influence in the US.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

This plane crash is absolutely horrible. We also have to endure this through the most incompetent administration there ever was. A mess all the way around.

I fear that will never happen. They are too entrenched. Every single politician is taking money from corporations and they expect a return on their investment. Every single one. Add to that the Supreme Court is stacked and also bought. We are cooked.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Good morning Black people. Listen to me. Get to your bag this year in case you have to dip! Forget being “politically correct”. Do what you have to do to. Not illegal shit, be smart! Use these social media platforms if you have to. Ask ChatGPT for help. (I know it’s fuckin up the environment

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

They said George Bush was at Jimmy Carter’s funeral looking for Michelle. 😂 Side note: I wasn’t a fan of Bush but I would take him back any day over the current admin.
