We can't afford to wait. We need to be in the faces of those stripping away our rights and invading and looting our agencies, departments, and lands.
The "dumpster fire" could burn as long as something remains.

...don't want anyone fighting against fascism.

AOC has been a rockstar! I'll admit I have problems with Bernie but with him being with AOC? No.

P.S. I think the problem with me & Bernie is our difference in communication style of speaking.

Some people seem to think """leadership""" is holding campaign rallies when that's the last thing you are worried about when you are an actual leader in the Senate/House.

She just happens to be mid level management for a company deeply involved in CHIPS and Medicaid outreach in Texas.

I asked how her company reacted to the gutting of Medicaid.

Oh that’s not happening. It’s not in the CR.

I asked her where she thought $880 million in cuts was coming from?

Dead silence followed by deer in the headlights look.

I changed the topic but I struck a nerve. I wanted to say “fuck around and find out” but I didn’t. 😬

One at a time. Drip, drip, drip.

I’ve long said none of my MAGA family believe any of Trump’s agenda will affect them. They really want to see brown people hauled away in leg irons. They really want to see brown and black people forced to work. They really want to see people punished for “wrong thinking.” WTH does that mean?

My niece and her husband just bought a new home. What was that about leopards?

None of the shit going on affects them except for Social Security but they Believe they are safe because they have it legally. Even if they did lose it they would be financially ok.

They all think trump is just dreamy.

My husband and I do! Somewhere along the way we must have taken a wrong turn. 😂

Like you I am frustrated and flabbergasted. What can you do?

I disowned them. I feel my life is better for it. Yes I miss them they are my family, but my sanity comes first. I forgot to mention that I am also Gay which didn't help matters at all with my brothers.

But our interactions are limited to some family functions and a couple holidays a year - not Thanksgiving or Christmas.

How sad.

Love and light
