I’m primary caretaker for a baby now, spending nearly every hour of almost every day handling it all completely on my own.

I’d like to be able to afford 1-2 days a week to knock out big chores (like laundry) & to be on the ground again. A nanny costs $20-$30/hr. I make $350/week lol

consider his publicly documented friendship with epstein over many years and his base just shrugs that off - why would anything further exposing that friendship shake them? they don’t care

the epstein files aren’t dropping & this isn’t a distraction from them.

this is a fascist setting up the field to eliminate every point of friction that might impede an attempt to seize absolute power.

quippy posts about epstein are delaying your realization of, & motivation to fight, that fact.

Tish James response to indictment:

These charges are baseless, and the president’s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost.
…
My office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights. And I will continue to do my job.”

laws and rules only work if you follow them and some only follow them because they fear what happens to them if they don’t. when you don’t have that fear…

Israel could have done literally anything, much of it with the support of the world, after Oct. 7. They chose genocide. The Biden and Trump admins chose to support them in that endeavor, until Bibi went completely ape-shit and bombed the negotiators in Doha, personally offending DT for some reason.

Annals in sane-washing. When I checked NYT, WSJ, Politico, and WaPo for a story abt how Trump invited PizzaGate guy to the White House and declared an end to the First Amendment, this single story that mentioned it was on top of WaPo. Now it's buried.

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A story headlined, Trump builds case for deploying National Guard to Chicago, Portland The president said he would pursue designating antifa a "foreign terrorist organization" and called for Democratic officials in Chicago to be jailed.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday looked to bolster his public case for deploying the National Guard to Chicago and Portland, Oregon, cities where he claims Democrat politicians have failed to protect journalists and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from people whom he sees as left-wing domestic terrorists.

Trump said during a televised meeting at the White House that he would pursue designating antifa as a “foreign terrorist organization” — a label that would allow for key financial and legal penalties because foreign entities are not protected by the First Amendment. Proponents of antifa — a political protest movement composed of unaffiliated groups — militantly oppose fascism, right-wing ideologies and are often anti-capitalist or anti-state.

Trump also repeated a call he had made earlier in the day for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, both Democrats, to be jailed, accusing them without evidence of “failing to protect” ICE officers who have been sent to the city.

His statements and other remarks given by top aides during a 2½-hour event laid out a legal and moral case for the administration’s push to send National Guard troops into U.S. cities. Designated foreign terrorist groups can face financial sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department. The Justice Department can prosecute supporters under enhanced charges of providing “material support” to a terrorist group.
