I literally broke into rage tears when I read this morning that #trump declared Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth will no longer be free admission days for national parks and monuments. The replacement day is DaddyDiaperPantsβs birthday instead.
Iβm aware that profanity suggests a lack of vocabulary, but also I am a member of GenX, and thus:
Fucking fuck ALL of this fucking nonsense. Fuck him, fuck the regime, fuck them all sideways with their own executive orders.
Ahem.
I am old enough to remember segregation. My parents were in the crowd that heard MLKβs dream. I rode one of the first busses, when they finally rolled in the Deep South, decades after legislation demanded it. I remember being a student being given a ride home by a football player, and we both ended up with cop inflicted bruises, because they assumed a βwhiteβ girl was messing with a black boy.
We fought then, we fight now. Fuck compliance.

I would just like to state here that scrubbing tile grout with a toothbrush is significantly less fun than I would like, and my Tom Sawyer skills have not convinced anyone otherwise. Also, whichever person decided that cream colored tile grout for a floor was a good idea, should be hit with sticks.
Helpful household hints from MissConstrue:
Proctor and Gamble has announced that due to tariffs, prices of their products, (and the white labels who use their manufacturing), are expecting consumer prices to rise by 25% at the end of August.
P&G own a lot of brands and enough market share to be able to make this announcement. If theyβre announcing ahead of financials, this entire sector is about to get very expensive. So, consider stocking up on liquid detergents, paper products, and other chemical based cleaning supplies.
Diapers are expected to go up another 30-50%, if diapering, this may be the time to test cloth diapers. If diapers are rising, menstrual products will also see the same increases.
The Trump taxes are expected to steal about $3,000 dollars from the average family this year. Build bulwarks where you can.
Ok yβall, I feel like throwing paint at a thing. Probably a canvas, cause itβs 107f outside and fuck all of that. But Iβm restless and twitchy and overwhelmed and overstimulated, and I have spent 30 minutes staring at paint colors and now I just cannot with decisions.
So, Iβve decided my tools will be junk mail flyers, a chain from a ceiling fan, a tube, and possibly forks. I dunno about them yet. Potentially paper pulp and maybe hot glue. Frankly, Iβm just going to make a mess, but Iβll keep notes so I can pretend itβs science.
So throw color ideas at me. Assume blue and or green. I want to step away from my apocalyptic thoughts for a day, so letβs skip hellscape colors. But thatβs as much decision as I am capable of managing.
Help a sister out. Tell me your favorite color, and Iβll gather responses later and try to incorporate them. Itβll be like community art, only you donβt have to clean stuff up. π₯³

Well, I used all the color suggestions! It turned out cool, if not at all what I had planned. I lost control of it at some point, and it just became finger painting. I call her : Stalagmite or stalactite, I can never remember which is which , OR Honey, I found the lsd! When itβs dry, Iβll see what I can make of it. π₯³

The #IDF has just murdered the last on the ground journalists in #Gaza. Of course theyβre saying he was Hamas, because everything that moves in Gaza is Hamas to the IDF. Keep in mind that the Israelis will not allow foreign journalists inside the enclave. No cnn, no bbc, nothing. They want to be able to genocide without too many pictures causing fundraising problems for the war machine.
Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif has been killed alongside four colleagues in a targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists in Gaza City.
Seven people were killed in the attack on the tent located outside the main gate of Gaza Cityβs al-Shifa Hospital late on Sunday evening. They include Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa.

I never link to hellsite, but Senator Sanders is amplifying a voice every American needs to hear.
25 year service Green Beret was recruited by a #BCG subcontractor for the #GHF "aid plan", then put under the direct control of the #IDF. He was chastised for refusing to follow an illegal order to shoot children. He tells you how the "aid" system designed by BCG and the IDF was to use food as a lure, as bait...so they could shoot Palestinians like it was an arcade game.
May the screams of dying children haunt their days and nights. May they never feel satiated, let hunger gnaw at them for the rest of their days. May they be ever parched, with no water ever slaking their thirst. May they never know peace and go to their grave knowing they number with the worst of humanity.
I am so angry I'm shaking.

Now, back in my day, when π¦
roamed the earth, and newscasters were honest brokers of information, we would have called this
Racism
Blatant stock manipulation
More evidence that roof walking king kankles is out of his damn mind
(But seriously, who had new shorts on Intel in the last day, and are they connected to the White House somehow?)
Just saying.
#intel #trump #DementiaDon #stockmanipulation
Yβall, where is the #money going?
The US government collected nearly $30 billion in #tariff revenue last month, according to the Treasury Department. Thatβs a 242% jump in tariff revenue compared to last July. Thatβs a #TrumpTax we are all paying.
Since April, when #47 unilaterally began imposing a 10% tariff across nearly all goods, among several other steeper levies that followed, the government collected a total of $100 billion in tariff revenue, three times the amount collected during the same four months last year.
Are we using it to to pay for making the bribe jet flyable? Is this where the budget to destroy the White House is coming from? Where have hundreds of billions of dollars gone? Are the pedos using it to traffic children? Fund #genocide? What has the #GOP done with our money?
I want a full accounting of where this money is, and what itβs being used for.
