Except when you’re making AI videos taking a dump on them instead of lowering the price of groceries and electricity! Go Find a couch!
Chuck Schumer and the Democrats may have shut down the government but President Trump is going above and beyond to ensure our brave Marines get the paychecks they deserve.

@zlikeinzorro.bsky.social - Just finished Convergence (I'm super behind on Star Wars reading 😭😭). I absolutely loved this story, thank you! It's up there with my favourite High Republic novels! It's in the top 2, for sure! It's a toss up against Fallen Star! I can't decide right now!

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.
TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

People care. People are fighting. Please don't think that no one cares. Please fight back where you can.
Maybe you can't march. Call your reps. Reach out to local orgs to volunteer, or donate what you have. Build ties in your community. There is something you are good at. Use it to fight for good.

I'm about to drop some random scripts and carousels tonight. It's not going to be as orderly as I normally am; there's just a LOT going on.

YOU: Is [SENATOR] really okay with someone this inexperienced running such a sensitive position? What will [SENATOR] do, when we have outbreaks all across the country and the next pandemic? All of this comes at a cost.
