It's all so exhausting.

Millions of children and families are food insecure and worse in a lot of places right now. Entire swaths of the world haven’t really been vaccinated mostly because they can’t afford it.
How many tens of thousands of children have been traumatized forever or worse in Ukraine? In at least 3 states in America, a women cannot seek healthcare if they are impregnated and want to terminate.
Working men and women of all ages are told to sacrifice more and have less of everything. We’re told to work harder and get paid less so that people like the tiny man who spent 40 billion on a fucking social media platform when he could have ended child poverty around the globe can feel important.

There are people applauding it all. People like the Russian apologists. The same people who are busy telling doctors what healthcare women can have, the same people who don’t want all Americans to vote, the same people who are okay with a million people dying from COVID. You know the one holding the sign they pretend to “love Jesus” and “pro life” the same people who illegally tried to pull off a coup against the Capitol of the United a states during the peaceful transfer of power.

The rich pricks pulling all of the strings have been allowed to destroy the climate because the obscene wealth they have is still not enough. Instead of using that money to
Improve the human condition globally in a very big way, most of them buy a small dick rockets, or a social media company.
This madness has to end. Vote, and make sure EVERYONE you know does too.

Trump, Republican traitors, Russia, Ukraine, Covid…it’s all just so overwhelming. Plus we all have our own crosses to bear during this unique time in history. Personally, what I find the hardest to understand and to deal with is the recognition that so many of our fellow Americans are profoundly stupid, ignorant, gullible, and filled with hatred. I wish that I knew how to fix this, but you can’t reason with people who are convinced that their crazy viewpoints are correct and who refuse to acknowledge anything resembling the truth. I don’t think that any of us could have foreseen this insanity even ten years ago.

Freedom is Slavery", "War is Peace", "Ignorance is Strength". I will never understand how such a profoundly repellant ignorant buffoon like Trump could have created this mass hysteria, even with Putin’s help. God help us.
