My heart aches for my grandchildren and their generation who have grown up in this era. They are either living in fear or are indoctrinated. Recovery will take generations. This trauma is now part of the US psyche.

i feel like Americans don't get the level of eye-rolling this is getting from Europe

Running the country with a shake of an 8 ball would make more sense. 47 days - one for each brain cell?

Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi. Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy or brutality.

Please call and write your reps today. And tomorrow and every day until this useless old orange mind flayer is out of office. To spend this $$ on bombs when cutting spending on healthcare and supporting “regular” citizens is unconscionable.

I apologize for being absent, especially to new followers. My husband’s cancer is back and we’re heading to end-of-life care. Please keep up the resistance! My husband doesn’t want to leave me alone in this cruel Trump world. His hope is to outlast the orange one - and mine, too! Keep resisting.

Cruelty. Leave our children alone.

Can’t say I’m surprised. This is so very sad!

All it did to me was make me angry. Keep resisting their lies! #propaganda #resist
