Do this if you're still on these platforms johnoliverwantsyourraterotica.com

I'm getting a CA state return but owe on my federal for the first time in my life, and I'm furious. I do not want to give this government my money.

Dear manager, 1. I found myself living in a shotgun shack. 2. I found myself in another part of the world. 3. I found myself behind the wheel of a large automobile. 4. I found myself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife. 5. I asked myself, “How did I get here?”

I hate that our society is controlled by the cruel and greedy duping the unintelligent while the rest of us are held hostage.

Literally, how are sensitive, empathetic people supposed to survive right now? I am in a constant state of anxiety and sadness about what is happening and how many are suffering and thinking there is more to come

A friend is traveling in Norway and just look at this. I want to go live here so bad. I hate being stuck in the USA.

I spend a lot of time thinking about what things would be like now if the SCOTUS hadn't handed the 2000 election to W. Bush.

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

I'm so tired of these "side hustle" articles that frame it like anyone can do it and then you read it and the "hustle" is someone renting out the vacation home they already owned or starting a business with the spare $150,000 they had laying around

I don't understand how prior generations just worked for 40+ years. I hate having a job. I hate spending the majority of my life doing things I don't care about with people I don't like so that I can pay to exist.

Ahh, the old stress diarrhea, just what I need

It happened again 🥲

It hasn't been easy but I made it to a 6 month sober streak.

on hands and knees we crawl you cannot stop us all

Having to just keep going to work every day like everything is normal is going to drive me over the edge.

I really wish falling apart was an option right now because I simply do not have the strength to keep acting like I'm fine but I don't have any other choice

The going to work will continue until the burn out improves

I'm just completely at my limit. I'm burnt out. I'm sick, my job is stressing me, the political situation is breaking my heart, my relationship is crumbling, my mental health is completely in the gutter. But yeah I'll be at work tomorrow lol

I'm supposed to fly for a business trip next month and now I really, really don't want to.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

You know all these dorks are already being seduced by beautiful Russian and Chinese women

The guy from the Terrifier movies needs a mental break, but I'm expected to just keep going to work.

"GIRLBOSS??? Trump tells Congress to GTFO! 💅" wtf are we doing here

The worst part for me is just that this many people really are this evil. They know people will suffer and die and they go along with it all. And the members of their families go along. Hundreds of people turning a blind eye to the destruction of a country of 330 million people. My heart is broken.

Working with everyone acting like everything is fine and normal. The Dems tweeting and doing nothing else. I'm going insane

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

People in and around USAID, State Department, and other agencies — I'm hearing about a lotta stuff. I'd like to hear more about it from you. Please feel welcome to reach out via Signal premthakker.35 Your anonymity will be protected. And friends, please boost this so others can find it too.

With a friend and she said "I finally get what you've been saying since the election about being scared. This IS scary." A little late but I'm glad she's getting it! (She did not vote for trump)

I don't think I'll be needing that, actually, yelp

I now genuinely believe that the Democrats are being paid off or blackmailed into meekly complying with everything that is happening.

south korean politicians were literally scaling fences to protect their government and our senators are sending out pre-scheduled tweets about the super bowl while an unelected foreign billionaire seizes control of the treasury.

No comment, @cnbc.com

Posted in a women's financial advice group. This is why we need to keep talking about #LuigiMangione and #healthcare in the USA.

Conservatives keep saying "doing this to [undocumented immigrants] isn't like the Holocaust because these people are criminals and bad!!!" And what do they think was said about Jews exactly

This is like trying to get SDCC tickets 😭

Republicans are insisting on making us fall behind in renewable energy research and creation and then they're gonna be all shocked Pikachu when China has more tech than us and isn't dependent on oil production.

Democrats’ fixation on prices, as Trump uncorks a new era of lawlessness, inhumanity, and destruction, reveals an evasiveness that will demoralize anti-Trump Americans who expect them to address the emergency. They are responding to fascists by pointing out that the trains continue to run late.

Not a great look to receive this email from @caworkingfamilies.bsky.social after signing up yesterday.

Firing DOJ officials because they "can't be trusted" should be a huge national scandal but like every horrifying thing trump does, it's barely registering.

Very fine people
