10pm. I didn’t put on real clothes today or leave the house. But I did shower, watch a movie, listen to 2 hours of school lectures, and write an online discussion post :) Most days I still find myself bummed that years of abuse made me hate my body. I’m learning to love her for the goddess she is.

). The text of the post reads: "Just so we're all following 1) Elon spends ~$300M to elect Trump 2) Trump gives him the federal government 3) Elon gets the agencies that regulate his companies 4) Trump holds an infomercial for Elon’s cars on the White House lawn 5) Elon gives Trump another $100M." The post lists a sequence of events in a numbered format, suggesting a cycle of financial and political influence.

She stuffed him in a locker with this.
A tweet from Melanie D'Arrigò @DarrigoMela criticizing Trump for pardoning Ross Ulbricht, the Silk Road founder sentenced to life for running an online platform with over $200 million in illegal drug sales, and stating he doesn't care about Fentanyl. The tweet includes a quote from Donald J. Trump where he claims he told Canadian Governor Justin Trudeau that Canada's weak border policies allowed tremendous amounts of Fentanyl and illegal aliens into the United States, contributing to many deaths.

Thank you, Representative Green. Thank you so much. Friends, this is what courage and integrity look like, and there are very few people with either of those things in Congress.

Bribes. They’re known as bribes.
A tweet from ununusual_whales @ununusual_whales with a breaking news headline: 'BREAKING: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with the President Trump at his Florida compound, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting, per WIRED.'

Trump on NATO: "If the US was in trouble & we called them… you think they're going to come & protect us? I’m not so sure." Fact: In the history of NATO, only 1 nation has invoked article 5 & requested support of all NATO members. That was the US after 9/11, & All NATO members deployed as requested.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Medicaid is how me and my kids have health insurance right now. Without it, my disabled daughter wouldn't have access to important healthcare, like infusions. Trump told GOP voters the plan and they still didn't get the picture or stop it (Project 2025).

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

I’ve been trying to get an interview for my disabled child. I’ve called 3x and was on hold for OVER 3 hours each time and had to hang up. I was told yesterday it could be another 5 months just to get the initial interview. And then about a year until a penny is paid.

I am deeply ashamed that the U.S. is not among these defenders of Ukraine but deeply grateful to the other nations of the world who have stood up to fill the void we have left.
Anton Gerashchenko on X: "Ukraine's allies are arriving in Kyiv on the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion. President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Council António Costa, PM of Canada Justin Trudeau, PM of Estonia Kaja Kallas, PM of Spain Pedro Sánchez, President of Lithuania Gitanas Nausėda and President of Latvia Edgars Rinkēvičs have arrived in Kyiv. 13 leaders are scheduled to be in Kyiv today, and 24 more will join an online meeting to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine and collective security. Thank you for standing with Ukraine!"
