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.

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
