When all they do is lie, accurate truth is how you fight back.

When all they do is overreact, covert action is how you fight back.

When all they do is try to make you afraid, refusing to show fear is how you fight back.

Get the picture?

Stop assuming they are anything like you on the inside.

Justice for Dr. Linda Davis. ICE must be held accountable for the deadly chain of events and the cruel aftermath.

Her memory lives on in every life she touched.

Congressman Ted Lieu tells reporters that the Epstein Files contain horrific allegations of the orange felon raping children and threatening to kill children.

That monster should’ve been sent to prison forever, not the White House.

Keep talking about the Epstein Files.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, which is why we need to educate toxic behavior out of ourselves. Eg. Fear is not an excuse to be fascist. Desire is not an excuse to be a pedo, rapist, or fiscal hoarder.
If you’ve felt exhausted, anxious, or numb in the face of nonstop political turmoil, you’re not imagining it and you're definitely not alone.

As political instability rises, so do anxiety, depression, and disengagement. New research shows how national turmoil is reshaping Americans’ mental health.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

On President’s Day, the First Amendment Troop staged “ResistDance” — a tribute and act of artistic dissent — at the Lincoln Memorial. ❤️

"This is about culture."
Exactly.
Every generation continues to bow down to culture as if it is the highest order of the land.
Culture is the lowest order.
Culture that is unhealthy, toxic, untrue, etc., must be CLEANED UP.
Yes.
I feel very strongly about this.
For countless good reasons.
Here’s the bottom line—survivors deserve justice. And, we will pursue justice and accountability at all levels. This is bigger than just one case. This is about changing the system and culture that enabled these crimes to happen.
 
We won’t stop.
Survivors deserve justice. Full stop.

Every Fire Horse description is only half the truth.
Without limits, we burn ourselves to the ground.
Be sure to include the limits that prevent unwanted chaos:

... though it requires managing impulsive behavior and potential volatility.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Rev. Jesse Jackson built the Rainbow Coalition as a political home rooted in dignity and solidarity. That struggle continues here in New York City, in every fight for housing, justice, and equality.

Today, we lower our flags in his honor — and recommit to the movement he called us to build.

I don't want him to die ... not yet.
I'd rather he died after everyone has caught on how vital it is to spot, stop, and prevent TOXIC ATTITUDES & BEHAVIORS, so that we can eradicate even the possibility of fascism ever rising again.
Because if we don't, it will.

In no particular order ...

As I was saying ...
This little creature teaches us that true power lies not in size, but in determination and perseverance. No matter how small you are, your hard work and dedication will one day make the world notice—you are important, you are extraordinary. 🐝

Treat people as if you see them as perfect.
Gently rebuke avoidable imperfections.
Feel and witness the societal energy improve.

The answers to our problems are simple yet powerful.

The people suffering the most in today's insane political and social climate are the sane people.

Stay sane anyway.
Stay grounded.
Do what needs to be done.

Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu died #OTD in 1997.

She conducted the Wu experiment (proving parity isn't conserved) for which her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics. Her role wasn't publicly honored until she was awarded the inaugural Wolf Prize in 1978. #WomenInSTEM #MatildaEffect

Today begins the Chinese New Year - year of the Horse. It’s also the first day of Ramadan on the Islamic Calendar. It’s also Mardi Gras for partying Christians (mostly Catholics), signalling the first day of Lent.

All derived from Lunar cycles.
