  • Illinois governor JB Pritzker is openly opposing through legislation and trolling. He held a mock press conference stating that Lake Michigan was now Lake Illinois and went to the zoo to negotiate with penguins on tariffs. California governor Gavin Newsom is suing the Trump admin over tariffs.

    There were also coordinated protests across the US a couple weeks ago. Every town hall held by Republicans is a complete zoo, so much so that certain reps fear for their life and have stopped holding them.

    Federal workers are leaking musk directives and doing their best to stall the doge squad.

    Just because Trump hasn’t been removed one way or another from office doesn’t mean that people are doing nothing.







  • I used to see a lot of “I paid off my student loans in 18 months, here’s how. I saved all my money and got a director job from my FIL / Mom gave me a house / my spouse paid for it. Just work hard and you can too!” I think I saw one legitimate one of “worked hard as a nurse and paid it off in 7 years” out of 10.

    People wanting instant gratification is part of the reason we’re in this mess. There is not going to be one singular event that fixes everything. Booker stood up there and said that not everyone is going to just roll over and take it. And that does mean something in the long run.



  • Some of them are in it for the love of the game. For whatever reason I get a shit load of spam calls to my work phone and sometimes I’ll fuck with them. I can’t remember what I was telling this dude, but he started slurring his words and I asked him if he was ok and if he had any plans for the weekend. I hung up like a minute later and the dude called me back. I just asked him why and he was like “I dunno lol”.
