I’m a retired registered nurse. My interests are liberal politics, hiking, reading, and my family. Looking to find comfort in the dystopian Trump world we have entered into for the second time.

X is not a free speech platform. It is controlled speech—and that control is determined by a MAGA disinformation agent and conspiracy theorist who is trying to subvert government for his own benefit. People should feel free to use it, but they should be aware of what it truly is.

Just read about Musk's crazed call for Alexander Vindman to be charged with treason, the penalty for which is execution! Final push for me to deactivate my X account! Deep breathes. . . .but relief to shed that hellhole!
