For the record... I've never apologized for being white... I've never felt pressure to apologize for being white...I HAVE apologized for racist actions I've made over my life.
There is a difference, maga/trump/vance just don't seem to want to face it.

The pessimistic side of me feels it's pointless to "release the Epstein files" at this point. They've been held in the hands of an entire administration, that I have zero trust in, for too long.

If crimes rates spike, let's keep in mind that trump has 30+ felonies & is actively ignoring court orders by blocking people's access to food.
AND, that the rest of the government is allowing him to do it.
The perks of being a demi-King, I suppose

Upon the government shutdown, remember: elected officials are obligated to work together & collaborate, republicans run all 3 branches of government (they are the leaders). If you have the majority & you still can't get ANY common ground, more blame falls on the majority. Leadership 101.

At this rate, wouldn't it be easier to list the ACCURATE statements made by trump, his administration/maga, as opposed to listing the FALSE statements?
Whether it's crime, immigration, the economy, history, vaccines, the legal system, or other topics, they are well documented liars.

I understand the pain of losing a leader that you look up to
In many ways, that is where my empathy ends
And even with that, violence and murder will only beget more violence and murder
There's a reason terrorism never dies, it takes very little fuel to keep the idea breathing

I may be considered "far left", or you may be so far to the "right" that the median is out of view. And, I may also be "far left". Perspective is everything.

Prediction: When trump & maga try cancel 2026 elections, it'll be in the name of our safety and "for our own good".

Growing up, I was always told that America would never allow authoritarianism,or dictatorship, well... we are actively allowing it (many are encouraging it). Nice work team

It's a hard day for the LGBTQIA+ community. Between the SCOTUS ruling and trump announcing the end of the national LGBTQIA+ suicide hotline, it's a lot. 988 is still there, even if the specialized hotline is leaving.
I know it's easy to say from my end, but you are not as alone as you may feel
