Has anyone seen the movement on TikTok regarding the #PurpleRevolution? It is Democrats, Independents, and Republicans coming together in unity. I am wondering who is behind it and if it is legit. @aaronparnas.bsky.social are you aware of it?

Good article from the Associated Press. The article even quotes Trump as saying all the layoffs will be Democrats. Dear GOP-- that is a mistake. It's time to stop this madness and start doing things for the people you represent. Unity first.

Thank you President Obama for being a voice of Democracy. Your leadership is missed.
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

I saw this posted on TikTok-- and didn't believe it. Indeed, the QAnon Shaman is suing Trump, Musk, and other entities. He is proclaiming he is the leader of our country without being elected. This stuff just gets more strange every day.

I canceled Disney and Hulu many months ago-- because I was tired of seeing commercials after paying for their service. I stopped reading and watching ABC News because their stories were not always factual. I never had a subscription to ESPN.
Even more happy now, I canceled Disney!
