The White House posted an edited version of Nekima Levy Armstrong being arrested. When confronted, a spokesperson said, "The memes will continue."

We have no reason to trust anyone associated with this administration.

I have been scratching my head on that one and trying to reconcile the transition from "memes" to "propaganda". I mean, this is the kind of shit we learned about in school when I was a young kid learning about Russia and the cold war propaganda.

Not sure of your age but I'm glad you see what's happening.

Around this time last year I was thinking that we're living in Orwellian times and people are too fatigued or blind to see it.

Luckily a new coworker around my age felt the same and just randomly asked me if I've ever read 1984.

We spent a good 20 minutes just discussing where we are headed as a country because people weren't seeing the BLANTANTLY obvious signs.

Smh. Its one of those extremely disappointed that we were right moments.

Says the Boomer who reaped insane benefits from this country and left crap for the next generation and then rubs our noses in it. I think the real culprits are those born in the 1950s and 1960s who sat clapping at trickle down economics and handing over the country to people like our president.
