"Because of your accent."

My god, I did not expect from the headline (which was bad enough on its face) just *how* bad this situation actually was. You have to read the article to realize it.

Today I spent time with my mother and I said, “the world is crazy right now,” and she said, “yes, it’s so exciting!” and my brain literally melted. I said, “what! people are being shot in the streets,” and she said, “yes, but THEY are reigning in the banks.” 🤯 What the actual fuck

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

As we all get bombarded with emails and texts about holiday sales, a reminder that there is a blackout happening from today through Monday. Pls consider at least not buying from major corporations during this time unless you think things are hunky dory.
