When I say that Trump has no original play in his playbook this is what I fucking mean. This where America is back sliding into Nazi Germany.

With that said to the people who voted 3rd party fuck you, fuck maga, fuck republicans and fuck you to the people who didn’t vote.

Everyone who knows a tiny bit of history saw this coming.

Elon Musk's N*zi Salute at the Trump Inauguration Rally. The US government will attempt to censor this or shift your perception of it.

You Saw, What You Saw.

If anyone refuses to believe Elon’s Nazi Salute show them this one too. And remember folks, this isn’t a left vs right fight. We need everyone in on this one! Everyone must learn to not stand by on this one.

For those who are of the blind community (or really any other) and have not been able to access the details on the Federal Government Houthis Signal Group Chat, CNN has an audio read on it, posted above. It’s in video form but it takes both audio + visuals. thought it might be helpful for anyone who needs it.

Keep your messaging simple:

“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

In the last year I have become obsessively aware of private equity and the companies that are sold to them. I am allergic to a lot of things, corn being a horrible one. It’s in everything. But you know what it’s not in? Those same food aisles crunchy moms go down. So that’s primarily where I get my quick stuff, snacks, and juices. Over the last 5 years, each brand in that aisle has grown smaller which prompted me to look them up. Shrinkflation became the tell tale sign of a product that was newly under private equity. There’s a tiny percentage of brands in grocery stores that are not under private investments and if they don’t shrinkinflate, the change their recipe. Sometimes they do both so you are more angry over one or the other and don’t catch both changes at the same time.

Then we have hospitals that were once locally owned going to private investors. My hometown OBGYN had a board of locals that loved their hospital. One of the board members (😡Gale) wanted to retire early but didn’t want someone to take her place and so the board wouldn’t let her retire. So she found a private equity firm to take her position (there was some sneaky shit happening here) where they then forced the board members to give up their spots and merge their hospital under their brand. The quality of care immediately went down and the doctors were required to use a system where once their ability to be in tune with their patients and give them the time of day- now makes it so hard to give patients more than 5 minutes of their time.

Then there are the homes. Have yall noticed how many luxury apartment buildings are going up for $2500+ per month? Have you noticed if they are being filled completely? I mean come on, we are constantly being told that housing is limited and that we need more apartments to bring housing prices down. So filling those complexes shouldn’t be an issue right? Have you noticed they all look the same nationally? Have you noticed the same modular town homes going up on land that was big enough for 1 family home? What would have been ~2k sqft now broken down between 5 homes to ~800sqft. Or how there’s actually plenty of homes for a family of 3 but they are all owned under an LLC and each room is being rented out for ~$1800? Or on the flip side, there’s absolutely no 3 bedroom apartments to rent because they are designing apartments for roommates only and in that world 200 sqft studios to 900 sqft 2 beds 1 bath are the only thing profitable?

We were raised to believe the US is a free market and assumed it would never change. And although it was at one time, here we are with a handful of sand and a theory on free market.

A couple days ago I decided to do my own research and had to become my own detective because, and as the video states this as well, absolutely no one is talking about this.

This was a very interesting listen to by someone who really knows their studies. I thought, man, there’s nothing we can do about this. Nothing at all. But stick to the end of the video- after she freezes (it continues I swear). Yall know from my history, Trump could eat a bag of dicks. But, he’s still our president and if he has history of wanting this closed, maybe this can happen. It’s the only sliver of light I see out of this.

If we make enough noise, can we really stop this hell hole from becoming one and done? To take us back to a free market would do wonders for our skin.

A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport and is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island.

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Schmidt had been visiting Luxembourg and flew back to the U.S. on Friday. His partner had gone to pick him up at Logan Airport, and waited four hours before calling authorities.

“It was just said that his green card was flagged,” said Astrid Senior, his mother. She said she didn’t hear from her son directly until Tuesday, when she learned he’d been hospitalized.

Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.

She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression.

“He hardly got anything to drink. And then he wasn’t feeling very well and he collapsed,” said Senior.

He was transported by ambulance to Mass General Hospital. He didn’t know it at the time, but he also had influenza.

March 15, a massive storm passed through the southern midwest prompting myself to ask my in-laws if they were set in the morning. Thankfully they had alarms go off. note: no alerts from their phone. But they did not get anything near them. A win for us. But a loss for those who were truly affected.

I’ve probably said this before but having every good and service turn into a subscription model is one of the worst new developments of our era of capitalism. Like yeah, shit sucked before but it didn’t suck for 19.99 a month indefinitely. This some new shit.
