I just managed to listen to the first five songs on Taylor Swift's latest album. I will never "get it."
I agree she is now a pop icon, a very generous person, with a huge fan base. Musician? Mmmmm. Let's stick with pop icon.
"Gets ready for the negative"Swifties" responses."

Statistically: The American People BLAME Republicans for Government Shutdowns and it also ruins their chances of keeping the House, Senate and White House starting in 2026, untill 2028. Senate Majority Leader #JohnThune knows this but is hopping MAGA is too stupid to understand. Maybe he's correct.🤷

FOLLOWERS please be careful on how you're getting news from YouTube. They have bent the knee & paid Trump nearly 25 million. I was watching a video & noticed one titled Oprah and Jasmine Crockett Fight, there's a lot of the same propaganda videos out there

Facebook has certainly gotten worse over the years but for me it's still useful for maintaining contacts with friends. I left Twitter when Musk bought it and Bluesky is a much better community.

No, it's easier to delete you.

I deleted my Threads and Instagram accounts as soon as Zuck started sucking up to tRump.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.
