Hello, Butterflies! Migrating from the dark x to these lovely blue wings. I work in emergency mental health. I drove through all 50 states by age 30. America is beautiful and I fear our nosedive. I’m here as we brace for impact, and hope to connect with other welfare policy geeks and good souls. 🕊️

So there was a conspiracy, just not involving pizza parlors.
At the center of this is how White men trafficked children as a means to acquire global wealth and political power.
I do want us at some point to understand this situation as ongoing throughout Western history & not an anomaly.

Not a good sign that for several decades, if you went to a journalist with a story about Epstein odds were very good that journalist and Epstein were emailing each other all the time
"What? No, couldn't be. He emailed me just yesterday, he would have told me about it"
The email: I,,am sex criminol

Every member of my Catholic family who still attends Mass voted for Shitler. They stand with the 5 Bishops , not the Pope. 🙄
Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”:

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

last year I watched an elderly man sneak a grape into his mouth at the store
he only had a few basic things in his cart & looked longingly at the grapes - could not afford them so he snuck a single grape
I saw him & he saw me see him. He looked ashamed
I gave him a huge eye smile & took a grape

Earlier *this year* elon streamed himself badly playing a video game while dozens of teenagers with screennames like ELON_IS_A_PEDOPHILE mocked him the whole time.
And that wasn't the most embarrassing bullying he got this year, or even the one that got the most reaction.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
