I'm watching last night's brainwashing session. Feels like I'm peeking in on a bad marriage between a dictator and his MAGA wife. Gurl, he cheated on you, robbed you, and wrecked your life, and you're just gonna believe whatever he tells you?

I'm running a Minecraft server for people with chronic conditions. I whitelisted it after the first attack (random guy dumping lava everywhere).
After I add new players to the list, I check in on the world ...ready to take them off the list if they cause major damage.
Ho ho ho!

One of the members of my #Minecraft server created a 25,000 block mushroom! Took weeks. It's quite the spectacle! 😍

It blows my mind that centuries of democracy may run right off a cliff because six people chosen by a corrupt, convicted con man... say so.
It feels like a giant stupid game of Simon Says.

The same kind of men who joined ICE so they can break down doors to tackle brown people are probably the same kind of men who stood in the hallway doing nothing while an active shooter was murdering children in Uvalde.

People are in denial about how quickly they could become disabled, unhoused or food insecure
It can happen to anyone & it can happen in an instant
Folks act like those receiving assistance have failed
That they should “try harder”
The system is rigged. It’s failed us, not the other way around

I've been having similar thoughts. Feels like history is stuck on repeat.
You think when the Sumerian civilization
began to transition out of the Stone Age™
6,000 years ago there were an unhappy
few who constantly yelled:
"BRONZE IS FUCKING WOKE!!!"

Seems like the latest refrain from Trump supporters trying to stomach his behavior is "He's a character!"
Bruh. Bugs Bunny is a character. Trump is a villain.

Our shared hope and outlook on humanity was the bill under debate between me and my spouse. He refused to negotiate. I eventually caved and adopted his cynicism. Looking at it that way, I think I can go back, rediscover my sense of hope, and hold out during any future shutdowns.

Ok, y'all this is a marathon not a sprint. It's ok to be pissed off, sad, scared, disappointed. But don't let those feelings drive you to apathy or despair. Regroup, and keep fighting. We have a long, hard fight ahead of us, and collapsing because our so-called leadership folds is not the way

I think the loss of third spaces (public places to socialize outside of work and home) is a sign of losing the class war. The rich have their own third spaces... from underground bunkers to orbiting rockets.

What if we (the people) all just got together and made a new government? I mean that's what we did the first time right?

This was our tomato harvest this year. We live on an acre. For five years we've tried to grow food. It's exhausting: bugs, heat, too much rain, not enough, and on and on. Anyone who says we can all just grow our own food during a shortage or economic collapse is nuts.
Anyway these were delicious.

I used to think every human living in the Dark Ages was hopelessly ignorant... but now I bet there were large groups of humans around the world watching cruelty and idiocy take over saying, "We're in the dumbest timeline."

Even if pregnant women know they can take Tylenol, an abusive spouse could withhold it, claiming Trump himself condemns it. As always, MAGA/MAHA is ammo for abusive men.

Agreed. My fear is that the mob will go after Democrats in Congress thanks to right-wing propaganda. 😢
Laughing while 40 million people go hungry is a really cool way to *checks history notes* be pulled out of your castles by the mob and murdered.
