I have severe allergic reactions to willful ignorance.

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions. - Albert Einstein

"Somebody should do something!"

How about voting?
"Voting enables genocide!"

Boycotts and general strike?
"That hurts workers!"

Armed insurrection?
"That's too dangerous!"

Protesting and contacting reps?
"They don't listen!"

At this point I begin to wonder about their real motives.

Let’s be clear - these people weren’t arrested. They were kidnapped by lawless thugs.

In case anybody wondered what it looked like for a President to actually win a Nobel Peace Prize vs. pretending to win one by extorting a woman who only wants the best for her country.

@theatlantic.com just figured this out. Today.

"What Trump’s war against wokeness is really about."

"During the 2024 campaign, Donald Trump promised to end wokeness. Since reaching office, he’s instead mounted an assault on the most basic and long-standing civil-rights protections."
