Bye DJ
It's been a long time I've been waiting for the day that there was even a shred of hope I would get my country back. I'm so incredibly overjoyed by the fact that this colossal dream is becoming a reality. Yet, I sit with the subtle hope you've left us with. You have created a pool of monsters who aren't afraid to been in the light. It's scary. It's damaging and shame on you.
What up DJ
It's been a long time I've been waiting for the day that there was even a shred of hope I would get my country back. I'm so incredibly overjoyed by the fact that this colossal dream is becoming a reality. Yet, I sit with the subtle hope you've left us with. You have created a pool of monsters who aren't afraid to been in the light. It's scary. It's damaging and shame on you.
I feel we need to discuss a thing or two. Be sure to take this with you during this vital lesson you. No matter how long it takes for the right thing to happen it will. Money can't buy you a job for forever and when you're a garbage human being, ultimately your cult will turn against you. You just would rather not kill them like you do the rest of us.
You never deserved this position and while neither did Hillary you ruined this nation. I can only imagine what would have happened if she had won. Anything is possible but anything would have been better than the violence, brutality, and cynicism you sprinkled onto the United States like a shit covered donut. You ruined so much of the beauty of this country. While a plethora of atrocious events occurred during your Presidency that were out of your control, you never took the time to actually make it better. Ever.
I've never in life been so afraid of walking down the street as a black woman. So fearful for my gay friends (or any friend that might seem different to your perfect people) and so outraged for this country. People now flaunt their flourishing racism because you have given them the green light to do so. I have walked down the street this very year and gotten called the n word. Mere seconds after that word fled the lips of two men passing me, I at once feared for my life. Precisely as I have every day since George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain and so countless others were ripped from this Earth. They didn't wake up thinking that the color of their skin would put a target on their backs.
Your supporters feel protected based solely upon the arrests and the destruction upon BLM and the way that the people that stormed the Capitol building for the most part remained untouched. People sat in peaceful protests and were arrested like dogs during the days we marched.
Your supporters got to take pictures after breaking into Government offices, never fearing for their lives in the slightest. You can't be a President and push the narrative that you want based upon your own personal views. Daddy may have been a member of the KKK but that was such a time ago Donald. You'll never be him. You'd be a fool to even try.
During the BLM protests, when we fought to be free, when we sat still to be free, when we sang to be free, many of us died or were injured in harrowing ways. Over 14,000+ were arrested. Remember this doesn't include the minorities that were killed for no reason because of that same narrative that YOU pushed.
Close to 10,000 people stormed the Capitol building where five died and 100 were arrested. They came to support the monster you are. They came because you told them to. And the level of disgust I have for how you put everyone (including them) in danger is astronomical.
I can't live safe as a black woman in a world where you are my President. I don't want to have to fear that you will set people upon me like a vicious dog. You are what is wrong with America. Everything about you.
You teach men and women a like that it's okay to objectify anyone in a sexual nature. You brandish your Presidential badge as if it gives you the right to say fucked up things. It's putrid.
Remember that time you made fun of the reporter with a disability? Remember the time you said you could grab anyone by the p*ssy because apparently your wrinkled ball sack is just so great? Member when you told the Proud Boys to fucking stand by instead of denouncing racism? Remember telling a reporter on live television that you would fuck your own daughter if she wasn't yours?
You are scum. People blindly followed you for these past four years. Many with blind hope you would lead us. Others with the sheer intent to use your careless words to rid the world of anything they don't believe in. Well, news flash. You, your supporters and all your shitty little rat brains have put this nation in the biggest unrest I've ever seen. We have been more divided than ever.
I'm glad you are booted. I'm glad you are banned from social media. I'm glad we have finally gotten rid of you and your garbage ideals.
I do want to make one thing clear. It is never too late to change. Become the voice that shatters those very thoughts you implanted into the heads of your followers. The termination of your Presidency is monumental start at ripping this chaos to shreds. I can finally breath once more.
'Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty I'm free at last." -Martin Luther King Jr.

To The People In The Capitol Building
I'm growing tired. The deeper we get into this thing called life it almost seems the worse off we are. Our nation is more divided than it has ever been in my time on this Earth. I, for one, am repulsed. I have never witnessed such atrocities. We were made to accept filthy liars as the leaders of our country. We were made to feel alone in everything during COVID19. Now we are made to watch the double standards of America ring whole heartedly true.

Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.

France Spirals Down EU Wealth List Towards ‘Third-World Status’
France’s economic standing within the European Union is under renewed scrutiny after recent data revealed a steady decline in household wealth and purchasing power compared with several of its neighbors. Once considered one of Europe’s strongest economic pillars alongside Germany, France has slipped down the EU wealth rankings, prompting political debate and concern among economists over what some critics have dramatically described as a drift toward “third-world status.” While the phrase is controversial and widely criticized as exaggerated, it reflects growing frustration over stagnating growth, rising public debt, and widening inequality that have left many French households feeling worse off than they were a decade ago. Falling Behind European Peers According to recent Eurostat and OECD figures, France’s GDP per capita and median household wealth now trail behind countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, and several Nordic states. Southern and Eastern European economies once considered less prosperous are also closing the gap faster than France. Economists point to sluggish productivity growth as a major factor. While France maintains a strong industrial base and world-class infrastructure, its output per worker has failed to keep pace with innovation-driven economies in northern Europe. “France is not collapsing, but it is clearly losing relative ground,” said one European economic analyst. “The problem is not absolute poverty, but stagnation compared to neighbors who are modernizing more quickly.” Rising Public Debt and Budget Pressure France’s public debt has reached historically high levels, exceeding 110 percent of GDP. Successive governments have relied on borrowing to fund social programs, pensions, and public services, leaving little room for fiscal flexibility. The burden of debt servicing has increased sharply as interest rates rose across Europe. This has limited the government’s ability to invest in long-term growth projects such as digital infrastructure, green energy, and industrial modernization. At the same time, tax pressure on workers and businesses remains among the highest in the EU. Critics argue that heavy taxation discourages entrepreneurship and drives skilled workers abroad, worsening the country’s competitiveness problem. Cost of Living and Social Strain For ordinary citizens, the economic slowdown is most visible in the rising cost of living. Food prices, housing costs, and energy bills have climbed faster than wages, reducing real purchasing power for millions of families. Urban centers such as Paris, Lyon, and Marseille face growing housing shortages, forcing young professionals and low-income workers into long commutes or substandard accommodation. Rural regions struggle with unemployment and declining public services. These pressures have fueled recurring protests and strikes over pensions, labor reforms, and public spending cuts. Social unrest has become a defining feature of France’s political landscape, reflecting deep anxiety about economic security and the future of the welfare state. The Controversial “Third-World” Label The description of France approaching “third-world status” has sparked backlash from academics and policymakers who argue the term is misleading and inflammatory. France remains one of the world’s largest economies, with advanced healthcare, transportation, and education systems. However, the phrase has gained traction in political discourse as a symbol of decline rather than a literal comparison. Supporters of the term say it captures the growing perception that public services are deteriorating and that opportunities are shrinking for younger generations. “People feel their country is slipping backwards,” said a political sociologist. “The rhetoric reflects emotion more than statistics, but it reveals a loss of confidence.” Structural Challenges Several long-term structural issues are weighing on France’s economy. Labor market rigidity continues to discourage hiring, especially among small and medium-sized businesses. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, and many graduates struggle to find stable work aligned with their education. The education system, while historically strong, has faced criticism for failing to adapt to the needs of a technology-driven economy. Investment in research and innovation lags behind competitors such as Germany and Sweden. In addition, demographic trends pose challenges. An aging population increases pension and healthcare costs, placing further strain on public finances. Government Response The French government has pledged reforms aimed at boosting competitiveness and restoring growth. Measures include reducing corporate taxes, reforming pension systems, and encouraging foreign investment. Officials argue these policies will stabilize public finances and create jobs. President Emmanuel Macron has repeatedly warned that without structural reform, France risks long-term economic decline. However, attempts to implement change have met strong resistance from unions and protest movements, making progress slow and politically risky. Opposition parties accuse the government of protecting elites while ordinary citizens bear the burden of austerity measures. European Implications France’s economic performance has implications beyond its borders. As one of the EU’s largest economies, its slowdown affects the entire bloc’s stability. A weaker France could undermine European unity at a time when the EU faces external pressures from global competition, energy security concerns, and geopolitical tensions. European officials have urged France to accelerate reforms while preserving social cohesion, warning that prolonged stagnation could deepen divisions within the union. Conclusion France is far from becoming a “third-world” country, but its decline in relative wealth rankings is a warning sign. Rising debt, slow productivity growth, and social unrest have weakened confidence in the nation’s economic future. While the country retains immense strengths in culture, industry, and infrastructure, failure to address structural problems could leave it increasingly behind its European peers. The debate now centers on whether France can modernize its economy without sacrificing the social protections that define its identity. The answer will shape not only its own future, but the direction of the European Union itself.
