I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Smh. These gross claims FOTUS makes are harmful and shameful. Such a tragedy, and so quick to shift blame so Bug Orange doesn’t look bad.
