They’re not thinking about it at all. They don’t give a shit. The quicker we come to terms with that and allow that to be the focus, the quicker we can figure out how to rid ourselves of that lunatic. Psychopaths are incapable of caring about anyone. That’s why he needs to go.

Why are we not talking about this?

Everyone got tariffs including penguins. Everyone except Russia and Belarus. Why is that? Trading with Russia? Anyone else can’t wait to get all those great Russian products? Annexing Canada and Greenland just gives Putin a nice chunk of land to walk across as he swoops in to “save” us.

Tariffs, Signal, the nominations, abandoning our allies, disappearing innocent people… none of this is incompetence, it’s on purpose. they are destroying this country on purpose. What is that purpose? Maybe we need to ask Russia. All of this only benefits them.

It’s frustrating, isnt it? We don’t have to be here.

Alanna Airitam @alannaairitam.bsky.social · Apr 3

I know no one likes an “I told you so” but I’ll keep saying it until it’s understood. Because even if we manage to get through this bs in our lifetime, this way of thinking needs to change so this never happens again. We need to fix the problem not just kick the problems under the rug.

We (Black Americans) warned you about fascism. This isn’t new to us. Colonialism and racism is just an appendage of fascism. You just didn’t listen because you believed it wouldn’t happen to you since you’re not Black. it’s exactly this belief that got us here. It’s time to decolonize your mind.

So crazy. I fell asleep watching Sen. Cory Booker speaking at his 8th hour. I wake up to him speaking non-stop at his 15th hr. I checked my Apple News Top Stories feed and did not see one top story with his name on it. This is amazing. He’s still on fire.

Thank you!

Alanna Airitam @alannaairitam.bsky.social · Apr 1

Senator Cory Booker has been speaking for 8 hours right now and will keep going until he can no longer continue and I can barely find any media coverage of this. Pathetic. Thank you Sen. Booker! #corybooker

I think it would do much better than anything else we’ve been served up.

Bernie & AOC right now in Tucson. There’s around 20,000 people here and they’re pumped up.

Is this is some weird, gross humiliation ritual? Seriously, I’m not sure how he could look at himself in the mirror. {shudder}

These lunatics really do believe they could just erase whole groups of people by having incel gamer boys click a few buttons on their keyboard. That’s the level of mental illness we’re dealing with.

That’s honestly the best “first mural” I’ve ever seen. Nice job!!

Black women have been activists for as long as Black women have existed. Try valuing, trusting, and hearing us sometime. We have met the required 10k hrs + bonus hrs no one wanted to make us experts on the evils of white greed. But I guess you didn’t think they’d come for you. Leopards, faces, etc.

Happy Women’s Day! 😉

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

These people are always wrestling with their identity crisis of wanting to claim goodness and purity while being loathsome and hateful for absolutely no reason other than their wildly creative stories about monsters and boogeymen. Must be exhausting walking around with that much discordant energy.
