That's what I mean. Whatever "big thing" is coming is debatable. And it's definitely subjective. But in this moment, the us president is impacting things at a global scale. The elimination of USAID for example put a stop to vaccination efforts in villages in Africa. That's devastating for them, but for an average person in, say, Australia, that may be frustrating but not impactful in the same way. Seeing a bunch of smaller things happening all at the same time justifies someone's concern that something bigger is going to or could happen.

I agree with all of this 100%. Though, to be fair, given the impact that the US President is having globally, I don't think believing or worrying about something big happening soon is out of the question. What that will look like is debatable.

Given everything that has been going on here in the US, and how quickly and boldly it is happening, I think your feeling is justified. And I don't think it's far-fetched to think that something is going to happen within the next 3 years. And it's going to, in some way, be global. Like someone said before me, now is the time to build community and network and be as prepared as we can be for whatever it is.

I hate that it's stuff like this that we have to tell people "I told you so" about.

If I'm having food, I drink water. But if I'm hanging out with people I'll have coffee or beer.

Trump speculated that the journalist may have added himself.

You can't even do that on Signal! But MAGAts will eat it up and keep repeating it cuz of how dumb they are.

That's basically every RawStory article, tbh.

Of course he does. Par for the course for Democrats these days.

I'm currently reading The Rebel by Albert Camus. But that was interrupted by a Library hold becoming available, so now I'm also reading Ghost Story by Peter Straub.
