*laughing at myself because, "Oh, goody, a bunch of new items in my home feed!" is mostly my boosts*

I don't know how to describe it but this post 2016 society has kinda broken me in a way that I can't describe. Yes, I get it, "Lol things have always been bad" blah blah blah, but this dystopian shit is something different. I think the combination of just seeing how comfortable people have become just being outright cruel and bigoted combined with the apathy and just flat out resignation of folks who may be decent, but they've just normalized all of this bullshit sorta pushed me over the edge.

This was the pinned tweet on my now-deleted Twitter account. I need the reminder here too. #buddhism #peace

#Russia uses drones made by #Iran to destroy civilian infrastructure and murder civilians in Ukraine. Yet, Ukraine does not declare war on Iran.

So why is NATO afraid of Ukraine using its weapons to strike military targets in Russia? Is NATO really such a cowardly bunch that they fear a Russian attack? Something doesn't sound right.

#NATO needs to grow up. Stop giving Russia sanctuary. Give #Ukraine long-range missiles and let the Ukrainian army strike where the #RussianWarCrimes come from.

The Kerch Bridge very likely was hit no less than eight times today

Taxing the rich isn’t radical. It isn’t even new.

The current top-bracket tax rate is 37%.
But in 1965, it was 70%.
In the 1950s, it was over 90%.

NOT taxing the rich is what’s new.

80% of bosses say they regret earlier return-to-office plans: ‘A lot of executives have egg on their faces’

Black entrepreneurs get less than 2% of venture capital funding. This number is too high for some conservatives as a lawsuit has been filed against a fund that funds Black women entrepreneurs because it racially discriminates against white & Asian entrepreneurs.

All of these “race blind” lawsuits by conservatives are all blatant attempts to undo the tiny progress made against systemic racism in the US. And sadly, so far it’s working.
