The level is stupidity is astounding. America is so unserious.
But at least we’re finally great again…right?

Don’t be the last to know waiting on this ass backward, science-denying, stupid non-administration to care about your life.

WHO is issuing warnings. Do your research now.

Forgiving loans to help execute the unforgivable. Meanwhile, they’re destroying the education system, banning books, sending away specialists/subject matter experts, and outright denying the truth.

The sickness of this society is insane and undeniable.

Vile.

Playing right in our faces. Loud and clear reminder that Black lives never mattered to them and never will.

Disgusting.

The wrong side of history is overflowing with those who will hopefully find an uncomfortable eternity based on the harm and hurt they’ve callously caused so many.

This is all so unbelievably stupid.
And unnecessary.
And intentional.

This partnership is powerful and profound. Really proud of the organizations and people who continue to use their platforms and power to resist. It’s not nearly as many as we’d hope but every ounce helps. #netflix #sesamestreet

This is disgusting disregard of humanity. An effort to create fear and kill hope.

The bold, unapologetic hatred is our present situation but it cannot and will not be our final chapter.

This is not how our story ends.

Meanwhile in the US…🥴

Operation Determined to be Dumb rages on.

Are we great again, yet?

Between the firms in my chosen profession (🥴 #paulweiss) and my law school alma mater, I’m disturbed and disgusted.

In honor of Taco Tuesday, I offer a (bad) poem 😂 & a 🔥 Starter Pack:

Roses are red 🌹
Taco beans are black 🌮
We’ll continuously RESIST
Til DEMOCRACY IS BACK!

Forever grateful for @normajeen.bsky.social connector of people, voice of courage, and heart of kindness. 🖤

So thankful to be included.

Great…again?!? 😩✈️

This must be part of the play to make it as terrifying to leave as it is to stay, causing the sane among us to feeling scared and stuck.

Enjoyed reading 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲. 📚

Thoughtfully confronts concepts of mortality, discrimination, purpose, and fulfillment. And artfully hits home so much that’s real and raw right now. #booksky #amreading
