We need a workable answer to this question.
How do we make sure that people blame RFK Jr and anti-vaxxers for the deaths that *will* occur and *will* be their fault?

Around the world, people are dying as a direct result of Trump’s cuts to USAID.

Disease outbreaks and starvation deaths are already increasing due to Trump’s malicious cuts.

The “ripple effects” of Trump’s drive to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development are being felt…

"To evade taxes"=euphemism. You can evade syphilis. But tax evasion is theft out of greed, high treason against society, what parasites do!
It is absolutely disgusting and illogical that tax fraud is treated like a trivial offense. This must stop if #democracy is to survive.
#safedemocracy, #resist!

“For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

For fucks sake. We didn’t lose because of the price of eggs. We lost because Republicans SAID it was the price of eggs. Now they’re dismantling government, stripping rights, starting trade wars and Dems are saying “look at the eggs!” Leaders lead! Stop chasing their bullshit! Focus and fight back!

The Heritage Foundation is threatening to go after writers and editors of Wikipedia.

It’s time to donate some more money if you can.

It’s one of the only places that’s safeguarding facts.

America’s gone mad. It’s like a bad dream. I cannot believe that this is happening. I don’t want to face the reality that anyone in the US would consider invading any part of Europe just because they think they are too powerful and can do what they like. Please make it stop

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”

...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

Leadership Wisdom from Ancient Times: Do American Leaders Live Up?

2,600 years ago, the Tao Te Ching offered some of the most important wisdom on leadership ever written.

Verse 17 invites reflection: how does this compare to American leadership today? (I scanned this directly from my bookshelf.)

Trump just selected Russell Vought, the co-author of Project 2025, to serve in his administration.

If it wasn’t already clear, Trump and MAGA lied to you when they said Trump doesn’t support Project 2025.

What does a group of privileged white male politicians know about oppression?

Republicans pushed a bill firing all workers in offices related to DEI - because according to them, diversity oppresses white men. I gave a vocabulary lesson on the meaning of oppression.
