We have no children - we’re glad that part of our taxes goes to help children in need. We have thankfully never needed help to buy food - we’re glad that part of our taxes go to those who do need the help. You know who I don’t want my taxes helping? Billionaire and millionaire’s who get tax cuts.

Those who voted for this abomination are learning the hard way why you don’t get back with your narcissistic megalomaniac ex who had screwed you over before. Disturbing how many didn’t see this coming a mile away, or they did but their hate for others was more important than our democracy. SHAME!!

It’s not the amount of gaslighting that’s going on that astounds me, it’s the amount of people who are falling for it wholeheartedly. It feels like an alternate universe, and those of us with discernment, critical thinking, and common sense have to live watching this dumpster fire. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Reminder that no one called for flags to be flown at half mast after the assassinations of Melissa and Mark Hortman, their dog & two other political targets by a right wing nutjob. Also that today's victim felt your loved ones were expendable to preserve his 2nd Amendment rights Image

As the MSM remembers Charlie Kirk and speaks out against his horrific assassination, let’s recall the Minnesota Congresswoman who was assassinated on June 14th 2025 along with her husband and their dog. Do you even remember her name?!
Her name was Melissa Hortman. Her husband was Mark Hortman. Their dog was named Gilbert. 
Their assassination left two children without their parents and her state without a beloved former Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

I can’t believe I live on a planet where some people freak out over a logo change at a shitty chain restaurant, yet they couldn’t care less about all the cruelty and deaths occurring all around them. This is maddening and sad.

The cruelty is an abomination. The lack of empathy is astounding. Life is a test and MANY are failing. My heart is heavy with sadness. Seeing the apathy of many will leave a lasting impression.

It’s been said many times, but the cruelty is the point. What’s the breaking point? Is there one? Will people just be numb and ignore the cruelty? It’s taking a toll on many - how is this real life?

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Ok so 🧐🤔 what are people celebrating this Fourth of July exactly? Just very confused at a celebration for our “independence” from a king while some are actively supporting and celebrating a wannabe king (cough cough * dictator.) I’ll be refraining from celebrating. We’re living in dark times.
