Such a sad era we live in.

Federal funding has been drastically cut or completely eradicated for necessary social services.

The intentions were to have the states take care of this, but they were given no time, no warning and no plans of potential actions to do so.

Now, we are forming charities just to provide food for kids, medical care for the unemployed, homes for the homeless, and all the other social services that are not just desperately needed, but have been severely underfunded for decades.

Meanwhile, no one wants to tax the rich to pay for these services, no one wants to pay higher taxes, or any taxes for that matter, to cover these extremely necessary social services, and no one has spare money to donate because of the inflation and tarrifs adding to their financial pains.

Let's quit relying on outside things like charities and government to provide social services and create strong communities that encompass people who provide all those services with equity. Becuase it's obvious no one is coming to our rescue. We have to rescue each other.

Welcome to the golden age. Soon the military will be in towns that democratic, all the government officials that don't further Trump's reality will be fired, and Trump will dictate everything from sports inductees to the hall of fame, or what is taught in schools. Goodbye free press. Maps are being redrawn as we speak.

@JimboSaturn I wrote to my state Senator today telling him how his own party has literally done nothing other than post snarky memes and wring hands as they approve all of his people into office. That with their lack of actual strong action, they have helped the demise of democracy and the nation. At this point, I can only assume our congresspeople are complicit in what is happening. None of them seem to be addressing anything anymore. And with that the hope of people is rapidly dying.
