While you make pretty speeches, we’re being cut to shreds.
Dropping a full season at one time feels like a misguided and already antiquated notion. What a massive mistake.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm.

It's like America's a bus
& an elderly narcissist speed addict
is maniacally driving us off a cliff;
and we're all staring at each other
because 30% of the passengers
enjoy that his driving upsets the rest of us.

Talk about a devil’s bargain. Get him, Steve Bannon. 😑
MAGA internal unrest, right-wing nationalist vs corporatist.
Steve Bannon on Elon Musk: "He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down," .... "Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it; I'm not prepared to tolerate it anymore."
