I’m not really nice. Tax the rich. Regulate guns. Fight for equality. Pay teachers more. Opinions are not science or truth. Body autonomy is non-negotiable. Most people are dumber than they think. Buffistas

Stop posting Jake fucking Tapper. I don’t watch his little show and I don’t want to see him on my timeline. He’s a dick and nothing in his money grab book matters as much as what is currently being done to dismantle our country.

They are a death cult.

#FDA signals a new approach to #Covid vaccines, one that several experts suggest has the regulatory agency driving outside its lane. "This basically neuters ACIP," one told STAT. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

Quacks are gonna quack. These same people would massively ridicule a reincarnation museum.

Oh which liar to watch. What a conundrum.

Right now, RFK Jr, Rubio, Zeldin, and Kristi Noem are all testifying before Congress. It is simply impossible to follow so many hearings at the same time and unfortunate that they are all scheduled simultaneously.

I really think it would be a public service to start removing a good portion of the cameras on the streets.

The New Orleans Police Department is the first known police department in the U.S. to rely on a network of real-time face recognition cameras to track and arrest people as they're going about their daily lives. New Orleans must end this dangerous surveillance program immediately.

Ugh! Telling me to schedule a meeting ≠ informing me I’ll be leading the meeting. Also this didn’t need to be a meeting and if I’m now leading this project, the next “meeting” you want in 2 weeks will be an email stating what has been done and what still needs to be done.

So ok to have a Trump supporters area and a non-bigot area. Cool cool cool.

The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities

Goddamit chuck get your head outta yer ass. Have some fucking guts to stand up and if people get mad so be it. You’ve been in the senate forever, you’ll be fine, even if you get ousted you’re fine.

There is no separation anymore. There is no one of any independence or integrity at the leadership of agencies or departments.

Pool report from Air Force One: "The FBl is giving the President his property back that was taken during the unlawful and illegal raids. We are taking possession of the boxes today and loading them onto Air Force One" - Steven Cheung, spokes Boxes were loaded onto the plane ahead of takeoff

If we’re calling our 3 reps each day/week, can we also start calling media outlets & WH press corp to address this sham of blocking out AP & selecting its own pool? WHCA 202-499-4187 CBS 212-975-3247 FOX 202-824-6300 ABC 212-456-7777 NBC 202-783-2615 There may be better numbers. It’s a start.

At my estimate I’d still have over $150k. Solar panels, I guess? Then I think either buy debt to forgive or start doing work for a neighbor’s house. Sure travel, sure a second house, but reality, nah. If I had to make a plan to use up $1m pretty quickly, I’d hit giving it away.

Still got over half the money. For safety let’s put $300k in some easy to access something earning some interest. That could cover real estate taxes. I’d still be left with over $200k. I’d do needed work to my car and house. I’ve got body work, foundation stuff, roof repairs, and a few others.

I’m not big on the stock market, especially now, but I’d want to invest a big chunk of the money, so maybe real estate. Since I’m not about to become a big landlord, say I buy one single family place near me that I could subdivided into 2 rentals. It’s could do that for $400k.

First and foremost debt paid off. I’ve got a not great percentage of debt to income, but also less than many. I’d still have over 90% of the funds. So now total discretionary spending.

Life in cubicles: Which is worse, the coworker who narrates all their activity OR the coworker who mutters complaints about every task/person they have to engage with? I hold that any audible self-talk in a cube environment should be actionable by duct tape or corporate discipline.

The courts are taking some action. Will it hold? Congress seems unable to stop anything. It’s up to us to shut down the economy. Spend as little as possible, and when possible only spend in small locally owned businesses. If you can, buy used. Barter. Fix things. Borrow rather than buy.

There is no Stonewall without BLACK TRANSWOMEN. lgbTqia+ Your bigotry and small mindedness is a weakness. Diversity Equity Inclusion for everyone. I’m exhausted by pathetic less than mediocre cis white men with daddy complexes. Ascend already.

So how much money is Russia and China giving him? He’s saying it loud and clear, the USA is a pay to play operation under him. Give him money, he will side the USA with you.

REPORTER: Today you talked about having 3 way talks with Xi and Putin. What do you say to European leaders who say you're more keen to speak to America's adversaries than allies? TRUMP: We told the European Union and NATO people you have to pay more money, because it's unfair what you're doing

More Fed probationary employees unceremoniously fired today. AP reporters still blocked from Oval Office. Head of government lying left and right. And a brain damaged, egomaniacal, fear & disinformation monger is confirmed to lead HHS. Are we ready for a General Strike yet?

Day 2 of feeling like I might throw up at any moment. I’m not sick, it’s stress. The state of the US + onerous tasks at work + general anxiety disorder + frustrating coworkers.
