Tired of digital migration but trying to stay optimistic, like the rest of you.
This is niche, but I'm dying 🤣 Dune was literally a warning against charismatic strongmen and the unholy marriage of church and state, not a guidebook for world politics 🤦♀️
It's almost like pride is a deadly sin or something, idk "Everyone who is proud and arrogant in heart is disgusting and exceedingly offensive to the Lord; Be assured he will not go unpunished." - Proverbs 16:5, AMP (Face blurred for your mental health 🙏)
"When Charlie Kirk died, Trump and his sycophants demanded punishment for anybody who spoke ill of him... Fast forward to Robert Mueller’s death, Trump said “Good I’m glad he’s dead.” That tells you everything you need to know. They don’t want decency. They want obedience." - Bishop Talbert Swan

Legit cannot believe we willingly re-elected a Disney villain 🤦♀️ (look at the timestamp)
Military families wondering if we're about to miss another paycheck, how long our grocery access and kids' schools and medical care are going to hold out without funding, etc... and this is what the Commander in Chief is focusing on.
"More than 170 US Citizens held by ICE" I've been looking for a list like this. Thank goodness we still have some good journalism happening. This should be on every news source every day. www.propublica.org/article/immi...
"It's the same picture" (It's not, really, but it's getting too close for comfort...)
Real screenshot from HUD.gov taken just now. It's not even mobile optimized smh. 🤦♀️
From just over a year ago. A real flyer I got in my mailbox. This did not age well.
Um... On www.aap.org/en/patient-c... it now has a disclaimer: "Web pages whose development was supported by federal government grants are being reviewed to comply with applicable Executive Orders." Not ominous at all.
