#MissKittyRaw The #GOP has lost the respect of the world not just #Americans. There is nobody that takes them as anything other than garbage even if they won't say it to their face. They have made America a complete mockery. There is nothing they won't desecrate. The GOP is filth.

The End of #Reading Is Here
#Americans, once members of a proudly #literate society, read much less than they used to. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, which conducts the most comprehensive survey of the nation’s reading habits, fewer than half of all adults reported having read a #book of any kind in 2022. Only 38% read a novel or short story.
#Americans who read for pleasure on any given day fell from 28% in 2004 to 16% in 2023.

https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-new-level-of-trumpian-evil. "Trump clearly prefers a nightmarish, #totalitarian #dictatorship... to a vibrant, successful #democracy. A democracy, by the way, that more than 36,000 #Americans gave their lives to defend during the #Korean #War. #America has a #President who hates everything our nation was supposed to stand for."

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adoured by a downright moron.

In all of #NASA’s and #China’s plans for long-term settlement on the #Moon, relatively few square miles at the South Pole of the Moon matter the most.
As soon as this Sunday, a #LongMarch5 rocket will launch from a coastal seaport in China, carrying the #ChangE7 lunar exploration mission.
This will likely serve as a wake-up call ⏰ to those not paying attention to the #US-China space race - which, to be clear, is the vast majority of #Americans.

I remember...
years ago listening to
'absolutely fascinated'
the speech that President #Obama gave (I believe in Cairo, Egypt, to university students)
I remember his words fascinated me,
and I reflexively envied the #Americans, who had produced such a Leader.
Today I (accidentally) listen to #Trump's babbling illiterate rants and think...
Thank God I am NOT an American. -
Dear #Americans:
We are aware that the vast majority of You are decent people
the resentment the World has towards You is given by your... laxity,
Having consented (out of laziness or stupidity)
that a #Trump / #MAGAs controlled your Nation.
DO NOT make the mistake of
'Forgive and Forget'
(usual in your Society due to laziness).
NECESSARY a demonstration that
'Americans' have Ethics and Morals'
whoever has done harm and damage MUST pay the consequences.If you want to be 'Welcome' again.

Hey #Americans.
People want the train to stop, but won't get off.
#GeneralStrike, and #mutualAid
Everybody go home, and help your neighbors eat and stay warm/cool.
Everybody stays home, until shit starts changing.
Stop. All of us. No excuses.
Say when, I'll be there, I'll feed my neighbors too.
JUST SAY WHEN
I'm so tired of this shit.
"It'll never work because, X, Y, & Z!"
Don't make excuses for billionaires. You sound like someone who can't quit Meta. STFU.
Go feed your neighbors!

The left violating the Civil Rights Act and boasting about it is seriously crazy town. 🤯
"A brow salon in Old Town #Alexandria, #VA, has become the latest flashpoint in the rising tide of open #antisemitism in #American commerce. #FatanaKarimi, owner of #KarimiBrows at 908 King Street Suite 310, recorded herself refusing service to a #Jewish client after learning the woman is #Israeli-American. According to the client’s detailed account and circulating video, the appointment ended abruptly once the conversation turned to the client’s background. #Karimi is reported to have ordered the woman out of the shop, declared that service to an Israeli violated her political beliefs, and asserted that #Israel does not exist.
The incident, which occurred in mid-August 2026, has drawn sharp condemnation from Jewish advocacy groups and ordinary #Americans who still believe that public businesses must serve customers without regard to #ethnicity, #religion, or #nationalorigin."
