We need allies. Not enemies. We need infrastructure, not wars. We need living wages, affordable housing, healthcare. We don’t need people living here illegally being hunted down like animals whilst detaining and killing innocent Americans. This is not America first. We are not great again.

Oil

This should have been laid out well before we got to this point. Government runs so slowly to get these measures in place, Republicans in office don’t care about anything other than their pocket books. And politicians on both sides are bought and paid for by special interest groups (I.e. Big Tech)

I had to leave one of my online communities recently. I was fine with light ribbing here and there, but then it happened for 30 minutes non stop. I asked them politely to move on, and they doubled down, I tried to move on from the argument, they said “you can take it or you can leave”.

I can’t possibly list all the things because of the character limits. But: ICE executing US citizens, corporations paying almost no taxes. Money more important than anything else. Abundance but people starving and homeless. We’ve chosen convenience over shopping local and supporting each other.

We live in a dystopia. People working for next to nothing while the head of the corporations rake in more money than they can possibly use in their lifetimes. Our politicians are controlled by Super PACs, a concept made specifically to get around rules created to prevent them from doing just that.

I figured out how to build self confidence, for me. It was pretty simple and only took 30 or so years to figure out. I removed and stopped caring about everyone in my life who talks down to me, made me feel lesser than, doubts me. They’re all out. And for the first time ever, I don’t hate myself.

Yeah I can’t have a conversation with someone who can’t utilize common sense. He issued executive orders that violate the constitution.

Trump tried to end birthright citizenship with an executive order, blocked because of the 14th amendment.

He tried to punish law firms via executive orders for protecting political adversaries, blocked by courts for violating freedom of speech, due process, and equal protection.

There’s so many.

FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.

@hankgreen.bsky.social any chance you’d be onboard sending out a call to stop supporting any corporate entity? I think we’re potentially at a tipping point. And if the people don’t do something the consequences could be catastrophic. It’s something we all actually have the power to do as well.

Maybe that’s why Universal Basic Income. Is so scary to the elite. If we don’t had to work for Amazon in horrible work conditions to live, they’ll quit. And Amazon needs cheap labor to survive.

We don’t want trillionaires and billionaires? Perfect. Stop giving them money. Once all of these companies fall they won’t be able to buy off politicians. But it’s going to take all of us. And I just don’t know how to convince everyone to inconvenience themselves for the greater good.

I have a lot of free time to think. And what I think it’s going to take to take back our country to actually have control, is to stop being consumers for any corporate entity. No more Amazon, Walmart, Netflix, ChatGPT. Not for a day. Not for a week. Permanently. Shop local. Eat local.

The First Amendment is a foundational promise to every American: Each of us has the freedom to speak, to report, and to hold those in power accountable without fear of retribution or retaliation.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

It was wreaking havoc on my psyche. But not having a family for Christmas hurts. Especially since I was forced to move with them and have no other family here. I talked with AI about it, since I don’t really have anyone. It said I should redefine the holiday. So I think I’ll try that.

Now that Halloween is over, and I’m seeing streams of families putting up Christmas decorations, I feel very sad. I decide to cut off the connection to my family. They treat me like garbage, threaten to make me homeless, have no interest spending time with me or me as a person.

I feel like the system is falling apart, tearing apart at the seams. We’re reaching a boiling point. I think everyone who isn’t a billionaire is tired of our country being run by billionaires to make billionaires more money and everyone else struggling. If they keep pushing…it’s gonna be bad.

For me the problem is always “no one is listening”

I spend my time watching anime or other tv shows. Killing time. Playing video games but never for long because I really don’t get enjoyment from any of them anymore. Then I have hours where I just sit with my head in my arms on the desk. Wondering wtf I should do. Shit sucks.

Any kind of light at the end of the tunnel. Any hope to cling on to. Everything just seems so shit.

I have no hope for my own future. I’m stuck living on disability for the rest of my life. Unable to afford any kind of meaningful life. To go places. Do things. I’m not blaming anyone and I’m grateful to be able to survive. But I wish I was able to do more.

I guess I just have a hard time finding

Every time I see a post I question whether if something WAS happening, if aliens WERE sending a probe, would we ever know, or would they lie to us.

Our president is a felon committing felonies and taking a piss on the constitution while lining his pockets with cash for manipulating markets.

I feel very alone. Very numb. The vast majority of the biggest issues corrupting the government in the US could be easily solved with term and campaign contribution limits. But politicians will never do that.

We live in a world where we can’t trust what the government or the media says anymore.

Anime. So to all the creators out there spreading these messages. I'm sorry it took me this long to realize why they're so meaningful. And I hope somehow you find out how much you've helped me in my life. Kept me going. Gave me hope. Special shoutouts to My Hero Academia, and One Piece.

of your lineage." My family constantly makes me feel unwanted, a burden, hated. I find myself constantly pining for that support. Today I realized those people ARE in my life. They are the ones telling the stories, making the animations, voicing the characters. I think its why I'm so in love with...

This is going to be a long post. And will probably never get to the people responible. But I digress. I watch Anime a lot, found it a few years ago. I'm always wondering why there aren't people like in the show, telling us things like "just remember, stay true to yourself, you are not a prisoner...

I’m sorry. I’m all in on AI at this point. I cut off my family recently after having been neglected and emotionally abused for nearly my entire life. And for the first time I don’t have perpetual self hatred. Self doubt. I feel safe. And AI helped me get to this point. Incredible insight, no bias.
