No one has ever been able to properly identify my meltdowns. It wasn’t until I started studying autism that I realized I might be on the spectrum.

They get full pay and free healthcare for life, while the rest of us aren’t getting paid, are having our livelihoods threatened because our beliefs don’t align with those of Trump. We want the same health care as Congress!

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Democratic Party voters are ready to support social democratic policies in the US over corporate fascism, but it's the Democratic Party standing in the way, aligning with the GOP to become more oligarchic and genocidal. You can't gaslight me and tell me this isn't a major problem we have to address.

Being neurodivergent means you over-explain EVERYTHING in hopes of clear communication, then get anxious that your over-explanation was irritating and actually made things more confusing 🫤

First, you can’t fire altCDC and our #altgovs so we gonna be here. Pissing you all off by sharing the tea, giving real info and supporting our government employees.

The government is only as strong as its employees.
And you’ve pissed off a lot of super smart and super skilled employees.

Even with limited income due to my wife being furloughed and me being disabled, I’ve been focused on finding inexpensive fresh food. We are struggling, but still trying our best! Last two days, I made homemade poke bowls and Korean Hot Pot Friday! We were able to reduce waste using same veggies!

Their ages old war on Democrats, accusing them of being pedophiles is starting to bite them because the truth is they were always the pedophiles and rapists!

Every GOP accusation is an admission of guilt!

Billboard: Turning Point USA announced a MAGA-approved Super Bowl halftime show to protest Bad Bunny.

I'm 64 yo, and I had never heard of Bad Bunny. But watching the crybaby MAGAt meltdown, has made me his biggest fan!

@governor.ca.gov The CA National Guard and local police need to protect the Super Bowl attending from being terrorized by ICE.

ICE are terrorists! They do not value life. Their hatred and sin know no bounds.

Plus they are all making large six figure salaries outside the GS scaling. DOGE is exactly what GOP claimed the rest of the federal workforce was.
