The business affairs of a president’s children are off limits from scrutiny for authoritarian dictators.

Only democratic politicians shall have their entire families held to account for their capitalism of power because #DemocracyIsDead

This is another reason I know why democracy or centralisation of power won't work.

Glad someone explained even if with different motive.

@w7voa So we’re going to let the defense of the United States have all of it’s writing be created by an algorithm that checks its work against the supreme oligarch’s own interests in a way that promotes the ideals of Hitler and his Nazi worldview?

Fuck all of this.
America is done. #DemocracyIsDead

I Hate When it Hits Home

I saw a headline this morning that pissed me off and scared the crap out of me, but I haven’t been able to verify it yet (and I almost don’t want to even try, in the spirit of burying my head in the sand). It said that trump mentioned including pharmaceuticals in his tariff bullshit.

That’s scary shit. Where is my step son’s insulin manufactured? Where is the company that manufactures it based? Is the already insultingly high price of insulin about to go up? Is it manufactured in china? Will the price go up 104%?

Like I said, I have not verified this report yet. I tried looking online for about four seconds and then stopped. Think of it as a no-news-is-good-news kinda thing, you know?

Further thoughts on being in the spirit of hiding ones head in the sand, I feel like I have less and less to say on the interwebs these days. I feel like the state of the world is just making me draw more and more inward. The collapse of american democracy is getting me in touch with my inner introvert. That’s my natural state, I think. Despite being a ridiculous online over-sharer over the last 25+ years or so, the real me is someone who clams up and doesn’t speak unless spoken to. I feel that I am losing the fight to not be that way all the time. Social media used to be my personal revolution (this is getting way too dramatic), but facebook and twitter and instagram and threads are all dead to me now. Flickr is a social media site at its core, but I don’t use it in that sense very much. I still use bluesky, but with each passing day I find I have less and less to say. I’ve been using Flashes as an instagram alternative, but that app is literally just bluesky with a filter to only show posts with images.

This isn’t a censorship thing. I’m not afraid to speak out. trump is a fucking fascist who needs to rot in prison for the rest of his miserable, evil life. See? I am not afraid to say what needs to be said. I just don’t feel much of an urge to speak up anymore. It’s not even that… it’s more like I will speak out when I have something to say… I just don’t often feel like I have anything to say. I don’t know. I will say it’s one of the reasons I am considering canning this blog and all of the social media things I still use. If my country doesn’t give a fuck about me anymore, why would I waste the effort acting like I give a fuck about it in return? I do, and I will do what needs to be done… I think I am just tired.

Jen and I have been watching a show that is set in Australia. Maybe I’m just jealous of people who live in countries that aren’t actively eating themselves. I don’t know.

Boy… this is a depressing post, eh? Sorry. There will be cat photos at some point today. I promise.

PS: I am turning comments off. I’m not interested in comments on this one. I’m not sorry.

Apparently only people with empathy and respect for laws are fired for being incompetent when a reality show host turned dictator defines the level of “merit-based” hiring practices for government.

Somehow this is MAGA and we all must praise the #Idiocracy or face imprisonment and deportation.

The criminal felon mobster wanna-be so called president of MAGA famously rejects and forbids people taking notes or recording his actions. Little wonder his fabulously inept administration follows his lead using tools to illegally erase their paper trail to avoid any prosecution. We have laws against this.

Criminals are running America.

They say fuck the rule of law.

To all the 8 billion people on this planet, know this:

If the United States should fall, it won't be just Western Civilization that collapses but the planet as well. Neither China nor Russia, the remaining superpowers, will grant Humankind any kinds of freedoms.
