@zakwilliams I think making people be seen is one of the greatest compliments you can give someone

[Zak Williams @zakwilliams]

Today would have been my dad’s 74th birthday.

This season carries gravity. Father’s Day, his birthday, and the anniversary of his passing all fall within 60 days.

For me, grief has no straight path. It revisits, reshapes, and rises when I least expect it.

But alongside it lives a legacy built on generosity and kindness.

He made people feel seen. Gave permission to feel deeply and to laugh through pain. That mission continues.

To those carrying loss right now: you’re not alone.

Happy birthday, Dad. Love you forever.

I’m sorry. If you don’t get paid vacation from work, you live in a third world country.

If you don’t get basic healthcare free, you live in a third world country.

If you don’t get paid maternity and paternity leave, if you don’t get paid from work and the government when you’re off sick, then you live in a third world country.

If your government doesn’t force employers to give you a contract after a trial period so your employer has certain rights to uphold when it comes to loyalty back to you as a worker, so you feel safe and secure when you work hard, then you live in a third world country.

These are the very basics we come to expect In Europe and The U.K. This is the very least we will accept.

This year I have 52 paid vacation days off from work. This would not include paid sick days, time for doctor’s appointments or paid time off for looking after my child or taking them to the doctors. Some employees like mine pay a little extra for working from home, for electric, for internet and aditional money for food for when I work. We have very good free education. Americans travel to Europe just for the free universities to study without drowning in debt whilst living in the most beautiful cities. These universities that for some subjects are the best in the world.

It is physically illegal for my employer to contact me on my day off or outside of my contracted working hours.

Some of these things which can vary country to country in Europe are the very basics of what we expect living in a European country. The very minimum.

Yet we get told by MAGA that we live wrong, and we should change our values, and that America represents freedom. And we should follow what this government administration wants.

What is it to be free? Just to be allowed to have guns? To protect what? To protect yourself from your government?

The truth is sadly, that there is no Freedom in America. I say these things above so Americans know what you should demand from your leaders, because none of the above is taught to you.

Now this is the Truth you need to hear:

For education America is 13th in reading, 18th in science, 37th in math among 79 countries.

College debt is over $1.7 trillion and average borrower owes $30,000+.

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world….
You have around 25% of the whole world’s prisoners, but only 4% of the global population….
Over 2 million people currently incarcerated in the U.S.

You have the most expensive healthcare system globally, yet it ranks #30 in overall health care.
U.S. has higher infant mortality and lower life expectancy than many developed nations by far.

1 in 7 American children live in poverty. Roughly 11 million children
90% of your wealth is with 1% of people.

America has over 40,000 gun-related deaths annually.

And even for tech… The U.S. ranks 13th–20th in internet speed globally.

Why would they tell you what you are missing?

Why would they tell you what you should demand and expect as tax paying citizens…

Seek Freedom, Seek Real Freedom. Not the Freedom They Sold You.

The one they sold to you wasn’t free.

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

Today I was getting a prescription refilled at Costco and it got declined because Chase sent a fraud alert.... I had to confirm it was me

I joked they probably thought it was fraud because I was finally taking care of my health.

The pharmacist looked not amused

@elonmusk @realDonaldTrump How is a boycott illegal?

@matt_vanswol @DimitrisSoudas I think it's peculiar you think every serviceman agrees with the Cheeto

[Jennifer @JustJenKC]

It's almost like there's age requirements on the job due to the taxing requirements of the position.... Only if we were looking at filling the pipeline rather than bringing back people from retirement.... Or we can fire all the qualified people 🤷🏼‍♀️

There is a shortage of top notch air traffic controllers. If you have retired, but are open to returning to work, please consider doing so.

@85royal @QuintonLucasKC What are you doing to help make that happen?

[Jennifer @JustJenKC]

@ArynneWexler @85royal No they just murdered them in their homes while they're sleeping

3 hobbies that will make you rich:

So, I just mentioned on the @HardcoreHistory feed that since I seem to be talking current events I guess I should be doing that where it belongs: on this feed. So, expect to see a bit more of me here.

Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦
