Doomed to see the future and not be believed. A leftist in Texas. Hoping to meet my demise through petting a bear. Feral and petty.

I am surrounded by so many people who have notified their cars, trucks, and motorcycles to be loud AF and that's why I understand that "a quiet place" is a horror movie to some.

I would love to support sane, empathetic, and living Texans who own HipCamp sites or are on VRBO, etc. If this is you or you know someone, send me the deets and I'll compile a list to share.

Our media is complicit. They simply say that Al Green was telling, but NOT that he was telling about cuts to SS and Medicaid.

This is very efficient and a great use of taxpayer money, unlike the FDA, which is only keeping our food safe.

They’re forcing federal workers back to offices that are going to disappear. Why? Because they’re shutting the government down. Permanently. People made fun of me for saying this a month ago. But here we are. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

The response of AARP is quite surprising — they’re a 501(c)(4) with plenty of leeway on advocacy, and they’re sitting on more than $2.5 billion in net assets & annual revenues over $1.5 billion. If they’re not the prominent voice on this topic, who is?

I know a woman who is CONSTANTLY "embarking on a new [MLM] journey", and I guarantee she'd stick with one of she got paid, so yeah, social security is not a ponzi scheme, except for the fact that I've paid in and likely won't collect. But that's not new news.

So, apparently the rich people casino aka the stock market is taking a hit ahead of the tariffs. I'd feel bad but the money I have in that game (due to index funds from my retirement account because we demolished pensions) is negligible compared to the damage they are inflicting daily.

If you struggle with overwhelm, try acting like Dora. Just repeat the three things that need to happen again and again and somehow, it's like a power pose from the early 00s: I can DO this!

When will society figure out that every time the right says something disparaging about a person or program it is because they have that trait or are doing that thing?
