This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

I mean, their top level influences are directly fighting each other on the daily now.

I didn't think we'd see maga cannibalism inside a year of the 2nd term.

hi friends, i’m in a bit of a tight spot and i need to ask for a little help covering an emergency bill. i don’t usually ask for support like this - i know many of us are just trying to get by, so any donation or share would truly help take some weight off my shoulders rn 🧡💭

I had a reminder last night of one of my first concerts.

@alyankovic.bsky.social in tiny Clio, Michigan.

I was 11, working concessions, with my father being in charge of the venue security, with my mother being on council arranging guests.

Between hocking hotdogs, I got to witness artistry.

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers.

But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 1d

Republicans are pushing debunked anti-abortion propaganda as an excuse to rip mifepristone off the shelves and block women from getting abortion care.

100+ studies prove mifepristone is safe and effective.

SPEAK UP, we can't let them get away with this.

Nearly All GOP Senators Urge the FDA to Restrict Abortion Pills

The senators are asking the FDA to suspend its approval of generic mifepristone, which would heavily restrict access to abortion pills nationwide.

Also, I strongly recommend go bags with basic necessities, compiling all important docs in one spot, and having a plan for when and for where you'll go before needing to go.

Also, water, clean drinking water is a major priority.

Access to food stuffs is always a smart plan, be it shelf stable, seeds, or food you can regrow from scraps.

Battery packs and solar chargers are smart.

Weaponry, be it bow and arrow or a firearm. For food or defense.

If forced to ground, getting up and gone is important.
