Night night, sweet dreamies

Hard times don’t create the hero within us, they reveal the strength that was already there.

So be your own superhero tonight.
Trust that you are far stronger than you sometimes believe.

“ICE has done some crazy things, and we’re all a little scared.”

It has become a cat-and-mouse game between ICE and activists in Shakopee, Minnesota.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

The U.S. is now engulfed in what could be another forever war in Iran. Here’s a warning from 10 years ago that sadly feels too relevant right now.

Permanent Daylight Saving Time disrupts milking, livestock feeding, working the fields, going to school, hiring hands… On this day in 1943.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Take a moment to notice what you carried, what you conquered, and what you quietly survived.
Not every win is loud.
Not every step forward is visible.
But you showed up, and that matters.
Rest tonight knowing you’ve earned your place in tomorrow.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday

You don’t have to be perfect every day
One off day doesn’t define your journey.

Take life one day at a time, reset gently, and get back in the saddle when you’re ready.
