ADHD/GENX dad/historian/museum guy If you are new - I post mostly politics & KPop and support BTS, AleXa, π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈ, and people being good to each other I am a museum curator but my posts are my own and don't represent my workplace

I wrote this piece just five days ago - predicting Trump would walk away and leave everyone else to clear up his mess β¦.and here we are - concluding extract below:
Looking for a genie to turn me into my wife's phone so I can be held all day while getting tummy rubs.
John Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks. On left, a ProPublica headline from December 15, 2025 reads: βTrump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.β An article excerpt below says: "... turning rows red, yellow or green every few seconds, never asking a single question.β
1/ On yesterdayβs @lastweektonight.com about USAID, John Oliver cited several of our investigations.
First up was our reporting about how DOGE operatives had arbitrarily cut aid programs, in some cases by literally clicking through a spreadsheet: propub.li/4cCsSKP
NEW: TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help since the Trump administration began dismantling the CFPB.
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.
Only 10 days!

It's hard to disagree with this, tbh
Honestly the NYPD should be embarrassed that anyone is complaining. They walked through a planned snowball fight and got pelted with snowballs. Themβs the rules, man. That is not assaulting an officer
Churchillβs βWe shall fight on the beachesβ speech lasts 36 minutes.
Our own speech in the Fund Crisis took 30 minutes.
Dr. King at the Lincoln Memorial spoke for 16 minutes.
Bobby, after Dr. Kingβs death, spoke for six minutes.
Trump: "In one year, we have lifted 2.4 million Americans -- a record -- off of food stamps" (In other words, Republicans cut food stamps)
Another Pulitzer worthy photo here.
I'm sorry but Melania bringing young girls to the SOTU, knowing her husband is a child predator is everything.
If the suspectβs family didnβt turn him in, heβd probably still be on the loose thanks to Keystone Kash.
Yet again Rep. Al Green understood the assignment.
He was kicked out by the "no safe space" and anti cancel culture crowd.
The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.
"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff
The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items
When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"
Wow.
βWhere justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.β

Itβs hard to put my finger on THE single most important thing, but a short list:
- reach out to all of our allies and apologize
- get rid of these stupid fucking tariffs
- send ICE back to the border where they belong and work towards cutting all this extra funding
- destroy all the tacky gold shit
Navajo, Cherokee, Choctaw, & Hopi were some of the original American languages.
Spanish & Portuguese were then spoken for over 100 years before the English arrived.
So my brothers in Christ, please kindly get the fuck out of here with your racist white nationalist revisionist history bullshit.

Everyone on the right losing their minds about the Bad Bunny halftime show...
Just wait... Next year will be in Korean!
Welcome back BTS!
Borahae! π
So excited that BTS will be back March. Their music, spirit, and energy are about all that makes me look forward to this year with hope.
In 6 months, we will be prepping for a trip to DFW to see them in person for the first time in 8 years.
Oh, and fuck Donald Trump and his supporters.

Trump Showed Us The Worst in People
Nobody's ear heals without a mark from a 2 cm-wide gunshot wound in 19 days. Like Epstein, the truth may be delayed but it will eventually surface.
