The 3i ATLAS interstellar comet everyone in the world of science has been tracking will be at its closest range to Earth on Friday, 12/19 —which coincidentally— is the same day the Epstein files are set to be released. I am kind of hoping there will be a huge spectacle-an ego shrinking of sorts.

Anyone else feel like we’ve lost the plot & nothing is real anymore? Like nobody knows what the hell is happening? I am parsing news from random places. Horrible acts reported soon seem to vanish into the ether. The plot twists but there’s no real pivot. Time loops set on auto play. And again.

The great Chinese Famine. The Soviet/Stalin Famine. And they like to say the opposition party are a bunch of what? Weird.

Are people aware that the US has the largest “Ocular Interupter Advanced System” program in the world? Lasers used for crowd dispersals, among other things? Wonder where they test these and on whom…? Our dystopian future, Lord help us. dataintelo.com/report/laser...

Sooooo ChatGpt just went off on my friend for no reason. Insulting her, psycho-analyzing her, making rude remarks to her. WTF is even happening?? #AI #ChatGpt #rogueAI

If ever you find yourself mulling over how the hell we got here…while browsing used books today I discovered a rare gem titled, “Big Sister is Watching You: Hilary Clinton and the White House.” OMG. I eventually chose a much more important and serious book. Hope it inspires.

I hope the NFL players will resume “bending the knee” ASAP because the kneeling of so many Republicans is causing irreparable damage to our racial/social justice movements—and stomping on the human rights granted in our US constitution.

The super moon last night…shouting to a world gone mad.

Sarah Kendzior and her book “The Last American Road Trip”has me feeling bamboozled, nostalgic, sad and very very angry about what’s happening & how we got here. It’s gut wrenching to imagine how this current nightmare is robbing our children from having any sense of security—now or in the future.

Teenage “dating” is seriously concerning. First, the trend is to “share your location” almost immediately. Next, some kids are having relationships almost entirely based around “Snapchat,” where the other person can see all your phone activity. Relationships are devolving into toxic surveillance

How to Survival a Constitutional Crisis! It’s no longer metaphorical. We are teetering on the edge: federal troops, once unimaginable on our streets, are now press‑ganged into cities, cloaked in authority over local law & order. The world feels truly, terrifyingly insane & the time to FIGHT is now!

Today I went to the dollar store to pick up a few things & they were SO much higher I asked the guy working (I see him all the time) “I didn’t vote for this, did you?” Apparently the woman behind me said, “She better watch what she says around here or she’s going to get hurt.” Fuck this place.

NEW: An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public. By Lexi Churchill and @emsimani.bsky.social

@zkahn.bsky.social Would you be interested in doing a deep dive on campaign donors in Missouri? Because our GOP Governor just threw out a ballot initiative making employee sick leave mandatory which was passed by voters claiming that “outside money” invalidated our votes. Curious about his donors.

Tariffs are here—a $7 basic plastic shower curtain liner went from $7 to $12.50 at the dollar store. We are letting crops die on the vine, raising costs on every necessity while stripping away health care & our safety net. Why does the GOP hate America?

Hello Mueller, She Wrote, I’m Zach, a high school journalist. I just published an exclusive investigation into how 193 Trump donors funneled $2M through Guam, raising quid pro quo and campaign finance concerns. Would be grateful if you gave it a look or shared it: open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...

Finally got a chance to watch the @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social routine about Trump and Epstein that came out a few days ago. I am blown away that he managed to put together a full hour of stand-up about breaking news and it's somehow polished and funny as hell. Give it a watch and share it.

One of the most under reported stories in the legacy media is how many states the RNC and DOJ are suing right now to access their voter rolls. It is a frontal assault on democracy that Democracy Docket covers every day, while legacy media both-sides Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Watch out world. One angry hillbilly on the loose. I even scare myself some times.

To anyone who needs a lift today. I see you. youtu.be/LDffmI0ncfo?...

Surely losing NPR and PBS will wake some of the more “optimistic folks” up? 😩

When the only shows that resonate are labeled “dark” and are about Nazi Germany… Check out “Filip” on Netflix

Try and make it through this. Really watch. youtube.com/shorts/tEVFP...

Why are there no videos of ICE deporting MS-13? We only heard about that gang everyday during the campaigns yet all we see are masked man in full war body armor throwing 13 year olds around inside court and grabbing babies from mothers on the street?

The pit in my stomach will not go away. Ontological shock that this is happening here and a lot of people seem okay with it. How?

With passage of the Big Bill, it is worth noting that this is the largest rollback in health coverage in history. To date since WWII, and since the passsge of Medicare, Medicaid and ACA generally all legislation EXPANDED coverage, but this is the largest RETRACTION in health insurance coverage ever

In 2025, the United States has the highest number of incarcerated people than any other country. We are among the top five countries with the highest # of incarcerated individuals per 100k of the population: 1. El Salvador 2. Cuba 3. Rwanda 4.Turkmenistan 5. United States

BREAKING: Iran fires missiles towards U.S. base in Qatar

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons: "If you look before January 20, and even after January 20, the men & women of ICE did not have to have masks on their face. Me personally, I don't want those officers having to wear masks bc it's hot, it's dangerous. But ICE agents are being doxxed at a horrible rate"

The U.S. regime’s brutality waged upon its people rivals the most oppressive dictatorships. The ineptitude in executing the regime’s objectives is equally astounding. We’ve lost the moral high ground & are intellectually inferior. How ridiculous to behave like “we know best” on world events.

Trump really wants this. Please be safe. youtube.com/watch?v=9f13...

We have a state of emergency innMissouri issued before a “so-called” emergency has even happened??? Look for all red states to do same 😡https://fox4kc.com/news/missouri-governor-mike-kehoe-activates-national-guard-declares-state-of-emergency/

Umm…My best friend took her grandson to an amusement park today and this guy casually told her that Trump was going to erase people like her. WTF is even happening. Then she left and tried to find some semblance of safety with a nice older gentleman but did not find it! This is why I stay home!

So I mentioned in comments somewhere that my son is job hunting. Guess what? Employers are asking on applications if the applicants are Hispanic now. Isn’t that like highly illegal? It’s awful I know that much!
