The federal government
took $4,049 from the average taxpayer to fund war and weapons in 2025.
When you compare that to what went toward programs that actually help us…
the gap gets hard to ignore: 🧵
$4,049 from the average taxpayer for weapons and war.
That's...
-32x the $124 paid for school lunches and other nutrition programs.
-213x the $19 paid for the U.S. Postal Service.
-119x the $34 paid toward public transit.
-253x the $16 spent on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
[It bothers me so much when people use "everyday"* incorrectly.* 😫 It's* one of the easiest rules to remember,* honestly.]
It bothers me when people judge language use harshly, especially when they don't practice what they preach.

Is that their real photo in the pfp? Crazy stupid.
So many, especially in media, express anxiety about becoming weaker but come on. Being weaker would be so sick. Way less stress and shame.
I am so tired of being a powerful country. Can we just be fucking normal and show the world like superman and burgers? The world wants that too. I feel it living abroad. Nothing would make the world happier than a weaker America that can't bully and just makes spiderman and hotdogs.

I have successfuly concocted good ranch dip in my kitchen. I am now marching to my nearest famimart.
This is Pulitzer shit right here.
Levin: This is the largest protest in Minnesota history… The next major national action of this movement is not just gonna be another protest. On May 1st, across the country, we are saying no business as usual. No work, no school, no shopping.
I don't really care about the recent Alex lore, but it irks me when people say cousin marriages are normal in Japan when they definitely aren't. Maybe ppl don't have the the pitch fork reaction here that we see in the anglosphere, but opinion polls on it show people largely think it is weird.
The weapons contractors don't make their money by having more soldiers. They get more money by replacing them with drones and other tech.
It is funny to me. The people that call removing cleavage from a video game "censorship" because it must have been a forced decision are the same people that love our coerced wage slavery and think the wealthy are cool.
I’m at ICE HQ
Strive OST still incredible though
honestly I am shallow enough that a vintage metal UI skin might be enough for me to like the game.
I will try to like Guilty Gear Strive again

My sister is a USPS manager and tells me amazing stories. How these people are still guaranteeing regularly priced post of mail by foot in 2026 It is incredible. The USPS is one of the coolest things America does. Braver than the troops.
Infuriating when conservatives lie about it

Fun fact: Sanae Takaichi is a complete Ameriboo, and particularly idolizes the American presidency. She wrote a whole ass book in the 90s about the American presidency.
And now she is watching this guy. Never meet your heroes.
You are making the democratic party look bad and likely losing them elections with your pathetic scolding and deflection. Go phone bank instead. Be strategic.
Dishonest prick. If you really think your paranoia over bluesky comments is strategy, you need to check in to an asylum. The bluesky users discussing the senators that represent them are not losing Dems elections any more than your scolding nonsense is. Go phone bank instead of scolding people then.
put* them in power
