In need of mom friends

It’s just me and my 7 month old against the world, and it gets lonely. His dad is working 50+ hours a week and I feel like I’m going crazy at home. I have Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Down for some iMessage games, honestly down for any kind of social interactions that’s not with my son 😅😂

Trump is similar to Putin. They both normalise violence, MAGA inspired violence against minorities and women will grow as Trump is redefining what is good and evil. Good now = sexual assault, lying, fraud etc

"Russia's soldiers bringing wartime violence back home - BBC News" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1e7vl01gngo This article makes a point about how redefining what good is will bring more violence in our schools, homes.
