Actively working to be a good human— for me this is being a good neighbor, a good citizen, and not just follow the general drift of society…and prayer helps me do that! Proud parent of two, one of whom is trans, who I love and protect, always.

For those familiar w/ "ARkStorm/ARk2.0" flood scenarios for California, a comparable event has been unfolding on the Iberian Peninsula. These ridiculous rainfall accumulations, caused by a long series of extremely moist atmospheric rivers, have brought widespread severe flooding to Spain & Portugal.
Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days.
Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.

the cognitive dissonance of getting served girlboss-flavored sports betting ads interspersed with "need help with a gambling addiction?" ads in the same hour of television really makes you want to walk into traffic
In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint

Each time Trump has been asked if he'll pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, he's never said no.
She has the goods on him and Epstein.
There's no way she will spend 20 years in jail after she saw all these criminals pardoned by Trump.
I won't put it past Trump to commute her sentence.

I am struggling to think of any country this describes that doesn’t *also* let homeless people die on the street.
I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.
During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.
He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.
This is a diseased society.

Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine on Day 1.
Well, it's day 385 and while Putin continues his bloody assault on Ukraine, Trump has only cozied up to Russia & gotten played by Putin.
He's undermined Ukraine time and again and brought this war no closer to an end.
