What Happened Today – 29 August 2025
For all those who said I was wrong or just panicking—what say you now? If you’re still good with all this, let me make it clear UP FRONT: keep your distance. You still support this mess? Remove yourself from my life. Don’t call, don’t text, don’t stop by. I’m done wishing you’d figure it out. You’re part of the problem now, and if you self-identify in public, any backlash you get is on you.

The Epstein File drama is about to explode. Congress reconvenes next week, victims are ready to testify, and the pressure on Trump is skyrocketing. These aren’t just rumors—subpoenas went through, files are in lawmakers’ hands, and the hearings will be historic. If survivors speak up, we’re about to see who enabled Epstein and who looked the other way. Trump’s name is going to be front and center.

Meanwhile, the economy? It’s a wreck. MAGA world keeps pretending all’s well, but our deficit is ballooning, just shy of $2 trillion in the last year and expected to get worse fast. DOGE was supposed to rescue us, but all it did was create mass layoffs, wreck livelihoods, and spook consumer confidence. Families are draining their savings just to get by.

And those massive Trump banners in DC? America First” ten feet tall outside the Department of Labor, but it’s obvious who gets put first around here: rich white men. Not once have we seen a policy put everyday Americans first. It’s smoke and mirrors, a charade so the powerful can grab more.

The writing is on the wall. If you can’t see it by now, your head’s buried so deep you’ll never understand. This won’t magically disappear if you tune out. Now’s the time to wake up, prep your family, and get serious—America as we knew it is gone until we, the people, fight to bring it back.

Let’s not forget: We’re living through a reckoning, inching closer to dictatorship every day (if we aren't already there). Trump’s only interested in cementing his grip and punishing enemies. His troops march into blue cities, while red states with worse crime get a pass. Healthcare’s falling apart—the CDC is gutted, experts are leaving, and public health is under siege. ICE has become a tool for terror, arresting firefighters mid-emergency just for show. National Guardsmen pick up trash for optics, not public safety.

Newsom’s doing what he can to push back, and we’d all be smart to follow his lead. Project 2025, Vought, Miller—all busy sewing up new power grabs and stripping away civil liberties. Prices keep rising, and once basic worker protections like the Fair Labor Standards Act are undone, goods will get even more expensive. Tariffs are starting to bite, and the media on both sides refuses to call it what it is.

Trump himself looks terrible. His health is visibly failing—he won’t be around for a third term, either his body or his mind will give out first (both are already significantly declining). Vance is waiting in the wings, and that’s a whole new nightmare. At the same time, Trump is literally erasing history—removing Smithsonian exhibits on race and women’s history, pushing hate at anyone who’s not straight, white, and male. This attack on dignity, respect, and equal rights is exactly what makes up a dictatorship.

And the lies—he claims he’s ended seven or ten wars, said he’ll end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, but Russia isn’t listening. Bombings are ramping up against EU and American interests. His lies are piling up and even his supporters are starting to squirm.

Still think Project 2025 isn’t real? Think again. Just this month, someone told me it was a hoax. Do some research. The architects of P2025—Vought, Miller, Lora Ries, John McEntee, Ken Cuccinelli, Rachel Bovard and more—sit right next to Trump or hold top jobs. The authoritarian playbook is already halfway written, with 47% of it implemented through executive order or policy. They’re racing to finish the rest before midterms shut it down.

MAGA’s turned the Democratic party into bogeymen—they say we ruined America, are paid to protest, are the source of every problem. But ask yourself: Are your shopping trips cheaper? Are your streets safer? Is the economy recovering? Is it right to treat anyone as "less than" because of who they are? MAGA follows a man who cheats, lies, and lines his own pockets while selling out everyone else. We will ALL suffer from it. And your line of, “Now you know what the last 4 years felt like”….yeah, tell me more – because I NEVER thought I’d be living in a time where all I think about are the risk of losing freedoms because of skin color, sexuality, politic beliefs and religion.

If you support this, you’re not on the right side of history. The Democratic, Independent, Third Party need to stand for what we all truly want—secure borders, fair elections, affordable healthcare, safe schools, dignity and respect for every person. The Republican party needs to REMOVE MAGA, all of them and stand shoulder to shoulder with those who care about the people that live in this country. We have shifted so far out of the norm that any of these parties come with stigma and judgement. I actually went out and registered as “Unaffiliated” today as I am not just disappointed in Republicans but with all of them. Most of us agree on these fundamentals. So, if you want THIS toxic America, go fuck yourself. Seriously. The rest of us are fighting for the nation that matters.

It's a 3 day weekend – hold your family and friends tight. If you feel like this should be shared – share.
