Hot Take: Ronald Reagan is responsible. Anyone remember when he fired ALL the air traffic controllers?? Yeah...the industry never recovered...

Serious question: are all these "executive orders" WRITTEN IN CRAYON?? Just, you know, curious.... 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Now reading everything being printed/reported about Deepseek AI. Personally hoping the value of every American tech company bottoms out. It's giving me a little joy. 😆😆😆

It's hard to look directly at this country right now. You just want to look away...😬😬😬

To the people who are only just discovering that the GOP is a white supremacist/fascist party: 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 To anyone who is currently surprised by anything Trump and hus storm troopers fi: you are going to have to pass me with that. Sort yourselves out. Pick a side. Now's the time...

It's not that I'm not disappointed in this country. I know this has always been what America is. I am exhausted though.

Hey, for those still on the fence: humans are not basically "good." Or smart...

Google has made their "product" almost completely useless/unusable. It's like they made the phonebook again. Only with videos. You would think that would be a bad business model...

Also locked out of my Yelp listing and my Yelp business account and while I was on the phone with Yelp Dude today trying to get THOSE hours of operation updated he actually suggested I advertise. With Yelp. I was like, "Can you hear yourself??"

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Currently in week 6 of trying to get someone/anyone at Google to change the hours of operation in my business listing so they're actually correct after The Maga trolls launched an attack from their Mom's basements and got all my online listings locked down. The sheer waste of time and energy...

Not gonna lie. I'm exhausted. Just exhisting...

First off: Meta needs to f*** off and DIE. Like I'd say "in a fire"...but that's a little too on the nose...

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

The Trumpers are now attacking me on every social media platform. Including this one. We are in a bad, bad way... Also, how come they have so much time to be on social media? Do ANY of them work???

I solidly believed that we Gen X women had the worst deal: told we could be/do whatever we wanted. Worked/studied our tails off to be treated like sh**. Dating pool was sewage. But now I really feel bad for Gen Z women. Those dudes are messed up. I've blocked scads of them the last 3 days. Sad.

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Absolutely!! And it's been a great platform for my business. And I do keep both stories full of Progressive messaging....😬😬😬

The thing we all need to keep reminding ourselves is how incredibly, mind bendingly stupid most people are. No. Really.

The people who voted for Trump bc they thought he'd help Palestinian people??? No words.

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

It's SO sad!! I saw The Cursed Child in London, before Covid, when it was 2 shows and you had to see a matinee and then the evening show. SO GOOD!!! But that was before we knew the truth...😔😔😔

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

It's really disheartening that these white Gen Z dudes are acting exactly like their loser Gen X grandpas. Reverse evolution. 🙄🙄🙄 Millennial men made such huge leaps forward and Gen Z males are doing their level best to destroy that progress. Actually disheartening.

011

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

The actual problem with these Trumpers is they just won't stay in their lane. I have NO interest in joining theirKlan meetings in your Mom's basement so why won't they stay TF out of my lane?? 🙄🙄🙄

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Joe Biden sending another $687 million to Israel. Because he is a genocidal maniac. This is the reason Kamala Harris lost the election: Joe Biden's ongoing genocide against Palestinian people. Israel is a terrorist state. Zionism is a death cult.

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

I do not understand why anyone (other than his Daddy) gives a rat's a** about Hunter Biden. He has been an entitled, POS his entire life. And will continue that trajectory. 🙄🙄🙄 The elites always protect each other. The rest of us just have to try to survive the next 4yrs.

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Supporters of Donald Trump and fascism are not welcome here. I am not interested in cooking for people who think I should be some man's property. Take your hate elsewhere. The Hartland Diner is a safe space for the rest of us. All we owe the people who want to repress us is our resistance.

As a cis gender, hetero woman I would like to offer JK Rowling as a trade to anyone...for anything. Make this white woman GO AWAY. Or maybe she should spend her zillions of dollars on the intense therapy she needs.

The ongoing, amazing destruction (including self) of Drake is giving me life. We should all write Kendrick Lamar thank you notes for the gift that keeps on giving!! 🥰🥰🥰

Rich people (Donald Trump, Elon Musk) who have everything paid for and are waited on hand and foot don't get smarter. People who always have to be figuring how to pay bills and survive keep getting smarter. They have to. They keep telling us how smart rich people are. It's called gaslighting.

Y'all. Organized religion is bad. All organized religion. Every time people get together to worship god(s) bad things happen. Pretty much always to women. Often to children. Always to anyone who disagrees...with anything.

020

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Joe Biden handed over our entire country to Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin because he just couldn't stop aiding and abetting and arming Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. Don't let anyone tell you Joe Biden is a good man. Zionism is a death cult.

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

It's not "just politics." This is just like when they try to force us to keep our wages a secret. It's a tool of oppression. We are not required to love our oppressors. We're not even required to celebrate the holidays with them.

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Anyone who tells you they're not a racist? Is most definitely a racist. If you're not a racist you don't have to actually tell people that...

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Trump supporters/white supremacists/misogynists/anti-LGTBQ+ people cannot be saved. And it is not our job to save them. Let them go. It is our job to save each other and we need all our energy and focus on that. We are not defined by what those who hate us think of us. They don't count.

040

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

The greatest gaslighting I personally have ever witnessed is the current full court press to convince those of us who are not racist misogynists that hating us and wanting us to be 2d class citizens (or chattel) is "just politics." When people show you they hate you put them out of your life.

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

White American people have always voted, in a majority, for white supremacy over every, single, other personal interest: their health, their education, the economy, their safety. And so you get Trump and all his cabinet picks. Whose only qualifications is their whiteness or their aspiration to it.

000

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

That is called white supremacy. These are not fairy tales or silly little notions. These are the basic facts of the formation of this nation. White supremacy is still the strongest drug they're peddling in these American streets. White people can't get enough of it.

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

The way the white European oligarch enslavers maintained minority rule over millions of enslaved Black and Brown people and the white not-enslaved underclass was to convince those white people that they were a higher form of human simply because of the color of their skin.

000

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Who were wholesale raped by the white European enslavers. The institution of enormous concentration/forced labor camps primarily in the south created ALL the wealth that made the US a "world/super power." At the same time it created an oligarch class of white European enslavers.

000

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Who cares what they call us?? We are not defined by them. Also? Put those people out of your life and out of "polite society." The United States was founded upon the institution of chattel slavery. The enslaved were African people kidnapped and brought here and the children of enslaved Africans

You are describing white supremacy...it's What this country was built upon.

The messages I get to The Hartland Diner from low IQ white people/Trump supporters. Either raging at me or doing that passive aggressive lecturing. But always outraged that I could be so evil, divisive, judgmental and the cause of the problem. Block and delete my friends. Block and delete.

It is not misinformation that made people vote to destroy Obamacare. It is misinformation to keep spreading that lie when the truth is racism is what made white people vote for Donald Trump so he could destroy Pres Obama's attempt to give Americans Healthcare. Chickens do tend to come home...

Saw a little video clip where a woman said that men don't believe women are single by choice because men are not single by choice. Which I know? But she distilled the entire patriarchy to that one sentence. Bear.

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Israel is a terrorist state. And zionism is a cult. Whew. That feels better.

Hey! No one has to "believe" in climate change. It's not like Jesus. It's more like the sun. Doesn't matter whether you believe in it or not. It IS.

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

We're in this situation because, yet again, we were forced to choose between bad white man and not quite as bad white man. And not quite as bad white man changed nothing and then thought he was entitled to a second term. Moral of this story?? Old white men are not the answer...or the future.

010

Nicole Bartner @nicolebartner.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

This is your Daily reminder that no one voted because of the price of anything. Unless it's the price of their white privilege. White people are pretty serious about that...

Cynthia Erivo singing Elphaba is like the best gift you could ever give to a musical theatre nut. The greatest musical theatre voice singing some of my favorite musical theatre. .
