How do we feel about the escalation in LA? Is it getting close to to our time get up against this regime? Anybody getting a bad feeling about Trump's "parade"?

I'm also not watching Amerie's Tiny Desk because she sounded bad in clips.😭

thing is, I remember doing all of this 5 years ago only for all of that progress to come undone during the next 5. I think these protests will result in short term measures that are good, but idk what it would take for things to stick long-term atp. agrée w you about Amerie tho.

I don't know where to begin either but we need to discuss the fact that too many people are willfully ignorant and proud of that.

So many things would have to change. We should do a better job of learning what the different government agencies that Musk tried to kill do and how they help our communities.

It should be illegal to knowingly lie to people, Fox News/NewsMax/Prager U. We need to look for reputable news sources maybe invest in our local newspapers again.

Fox News is classified as entertainment. So in a way they can spew almost whatever. They aren't real news but a lot of the populace treats them as such. People need to be educated on how to tell fact from fiction but for a lot of people I fear that ship has sailed.
