Wake up, Work, Repeat.... Content Warning.
There is one constant thing I remember about my childhood, and that is the adults in my family always saying they 'had' to work but also that they 'hated' work. As a child, I didn't really understand this concept, especially since I was always being taught the idea that if I did great in school and went to college, I would be able to get the job I wanted to have. As I grew up, I realized this was a lie for most people. College was very competitive and did not guarantee anything. The job market was filled with things that I was not taught or warned about - such as quid pro quo, nepotism - and that being a woman instantly gave me a disadvantage.

Who is Really Weaponizing the Courts?
Donald Trump wants you to believe he’s a martyr—dragged into courtrooms by a weaponized justice system, a tragic hero persecuted by the establishment. Cue the violins. But in the real world, Trump hasn’t just been in court—he’s practically lived there. He’d have you believe that he’s a poor, persecuted soul, besieged by a cabal of leftist prosecutors, corrupt judges, and deep state saboteurs who have the audacity—the gall—to treat him like an ordinary citizen subject to laws. Every courtroom appearance is framed as a martyrdom, every legal defeat spun into some overwrought conspiracy theory. He’s not on trial—he’s the lead character in a paranoid delusion that we're all supposed to buy into, apparently.

The Blatant Disrespect of a Baseball Legend
Just a fair warning that I'm going to go on a bit of a rant. Recently, I ran into a story online that I wanted to talk about. As a baseball fan, I couldn't let what I'm about to say go. It was about an article mentioning the late, great Jackie Robinson's time in the Army deleted from the Department of Defense's website. In case you're not up to speed about what's behind this, President Trump signed an executive order to purge DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs from the U.S. Government. This was one of his campaign promises. That means erasing any mention of Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ figures who came before us. When asked for the reason behind this move, Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot stated it was done to stop what he called "Woke cultural Marxism." The Pentagon claimed that everyone at the Defense Department respected Jackie Robinson, which I didn't buy one bit. If they truly respected him, the article about him serving in the Army wouldn't have been deleted. This was 100% a racially motivated move on their part.
