Who is paying for all the damage they are causing? Including physical damage to human beings? And damage to cars, homes and personal belongings? And trauma to their children, family and friends? Who’s paying for Medical treatment and therapy and replacement or repair of damaged items? Who? Trump?

And I should mention that I am frequently wearing a T-shirt that expresses my view of ICE. It’s not very polite. But then why would it be, considering their hideous behavior? So my neighbors also know that I strongly support them and I’m here to help when they need it.

It’s exhausting. It’s never ending. It can be soul crushing. But we can never stop fighting against the patriarchy & all their misogynistic Project 2025 bullsh*t. If not for us then for our daughter’s & granddaughters. #KeepUpTheFight #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #ReproductiveFreedom

When judges get threatened with impeachment for rulings not favoring the current administration, it’s obvious that America has fallen to a level never imagined.

Imagine being "America first" but allowing Qatar to build a military base on American soil in Idaho.
Guess all you need to occupy US soil is to give a plane to donald. This is the dumbest most irresponsible shit ever. This must be reversed in 2028.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

I come from a long line of military fighters, beginning with our own Revolutionary War. I absolutely agree that ALL of my veteran ancestors would be SO enraged right now with the authoritarians who are trying so desperately to take over. They put their lives on the line for our FREEDOM.

Well, a true witch would say your powers of manifestation are superb!!! Maybe I'll meditate on that...and burn some sage and chant and whatever other damn thing I can think of. I'm feeling pretty desperate to escape this isolation.

Thanks so much for saying that. I'm feeling so discouraged right now.

All right you are just being a rude prick. Or maybe YOU are a "bot", determined to make ppl believe that all they need to do is boycott Amazon. OK, in any case, we are done.

georgiad2.bsky.social @georgiad2.bsky.social · 11h

NOPE I AM NOT A BOT. You can check my X account. I've been on there since 2009. Kind of old for a "bot". I find it curious when ppl accuse me of that, since ALL of my posts have the same fighting spirit. I am a direct descendant of a Revolutionary War fighter. It is in my blood.

It seems like you are talking about boycotting the entire machine. Which I think is a great idea. I was NOT saying "they are too powerful". I don't believe that. And I do like the idea of withdrawing our $ support however we can. Yes, I am feeling discouraged at this moment. ❤️ your fighting spirit.

georgiad2.bsky.social @georgiad2.bsky.social · 11h

Or if you are trying to say that I am not real? Not true at all. But I am a very pragmatic person, or I try to be. At the same time, I am an optimist and love solving puzzles...like how to get our lives back on a sane compassionate track. Despite what appears to be overwhelming odds.

georgiad2.bsky.social @georgiad2.bsky.social · 11h

I'm not sure what you are referring to? That Zuck and these other guys (Musk, Bezos, Zuck et al) are not actually real? If so, that's an interesting concept.

georgiad2.bsky.social @georgiad2.bsky.social · 11h

Is this due to cutbacks on inspections? Reduced regulations? Why did this happen?

georgiad2.bsky.social @georgiad2.bsky.social · 11h

It's a good idea but might be a little late. Zuck is one of the top 3 or 4 richest ppl on the planet. He even managed to double his wealth in the past 5 years. And of course Zuck is actually a rep/puppet of shadowy rich guy investors behind him. I think we need to develop our barter sites ASAP.

Of course. But this person was legitimately asking, "What do we do?" My course of action has been to share info & seek info, good clear accurate info. & then of course, protest, petitions, emails, etc. And working on my own issues so I can focus my energy more clearly. But I don't think it's enough

If you don't mind my asking, what did you do to change your situation? I feel like I'm pretty much in such a situation right now. And the crap these mofos are doing is not helping. Did you go online to find a partner, or move out of the tiny town spontaneously? Or something else? Tx 4 any advice.
