Raised in FL. Living in the UK via New Orleans, Dallas, and Denver. Fan of the Oxford comma. Still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
and Elon is so confident he is untouchable and above the laws of the country he immigrated to (starting with violating his student visa) he's boasted about his wider-spread election interference and has seemingly got away with it.
Maybe it is just me, but the constant insinuation/manufacture of a leadership challenge to Starmer (of whom I am not a fan) and the news media's prioritisation of it over, you know, actual news, is getting more ridiculous by the day.
My son, diagnosed with high-functioning ASD, sent me this text tonight. While I know he was joking, the blatantly false proclamation by the brain-worm guy and fascist-in-chief will drive division in families, further demonise women, and stymie research in neurodiversity.
@theguardian.com as other papers capitulate to MAGA fascism, the last paragraph of "Judge rejects Trump administration request to unseal Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury transcripts" is worrying. Mr Clinton was President of the US (not "ex-secretary of state") whereas Mrs Clinton was Secretary of State.
Hope is complicated for me, and I've struggled to find it since the election due to the seeming capitulation of the media, the current administration, and those with power to an incoming oligarchical, white-supremacist, fascist kakistocracy. But hope is more than wishing; it requires we take action.
