Myth #47: #Democracy dies in darkness. False. It is destroyed in a street fight in glaring daylight w/ millions of spectators ignorantly cheering, waiting for their turn to kick it. And you can hear the sobs of the victims & see the evidence splattered on the guilty.

Trump posted a clip to his Truth Social account Wednesday that suggested the Kennedy name be removed entirely from the Kennedy Center. The clip complained that Kennedy had been “elevated to obscene levels.”

America is closing its doors to the world, sealing the border, squeezing the legal avenues to entry and sending new arrivals and longtime residents to the exits.

Repeated heinous & horrific stories of masked, violent, criminal goons running amok & phyiscally, mentally, & emotionally terrorizng millions of people gleefully: this is the main reason I can't forgive anyone I knew (yes, I left them behind) who wilfully chose this timeline for us all, AGAIN.

Screw those who declare a woman's only/main/solely most-satisfying & enduring function is to marry & have kids. I got married too young. Had a kid too young. Wound up a divorced single mom too young. My (2nd child) daughter is 28, nowhere near marriage & doesn't plan to have kids. I'm great w/ that.
1970—no fault divorce finally legalized, female suicide rates drop 20%
1974—Equal Credit Opp Act passes, women finally have basic access to finances
1993—Marital rape finally criminalized
Call me old school but countering record high suicide, financial imprisonment, & suffocating DV IS Liberation

I swear, I STILL find myself thinking daily about the people I know/knew personally (that I left behind b/o this dystopian nightmare) - wondering how they ever supported it, how they still do, & worst, how I knew so little about people I was once so, so close to. Sad, embarrassing, scary.

We live 1/2 time in DC & love the theater. We stopped patronizing the KC when Trump invaded & usurped control. This locks our decision in & we won't spend $1 more there till we see (hopefully in person) rightful control restored, this garbage ripped down, & this regime soundly crushed.

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

But they found 4 loonies out in the desert supposedly master-minding a devastating attack that they themselves *clarified* would be a "terrorist attack" & they label their movement "everything radical" - pretty convenient. Surprised there wasn't a giant banner over the campsite labeled "Antifa HQ".
Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

There is no bottom, primarily bc of the tens of thousands elbowing each other to frantically shovel deeper & harder.
“The US president will be present at today's draw for the 2026 World Cup and will receive the first-ever FIFA Peace Prize. The creation of the award was announced a month ago, but FIFA has kept the recipient's name secret until now”.

Everything. It says absolutely everything.
What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.
