We are in the midst of what many consider the most promising pancreatic cancer cure research in decades. This is literally joining the War on Cancer on the side of cancer. It's happening in multiple departments. They're also attacking mRNA fax science which is the heart of the possible breakthrough.
They just cut $20M of pancreatic cancer research from DoD. Who the hell could be thinking they won’t be targeted?

Not going to repost the nonsensical statement that prompted this.
But we are SO FAR out of “wait it out” or “let’s work with them” territory
SO VERY FAR.
Politics as normal doesn’t work in a universe where one side is destroying politics as normal.
It’s not only pointless.
It’s dangerous.

Yes, you will feel & get better, & you deserve to feel & function a lot better-- but that doesn't mean you are not awesome in MANY ways, here, now.

This is an example of how nostalgia for the old days is simply nostalgia for when you were younger.
The idea that America was a post-racial society in the 1970s/1980s only makes sense if you were literally a child at that time and couldn’t observe what any adult was experiencing.

Women need to bring their traditions back
Jamestown governor John Ratcliffe, the villain in Pocahontas, died horrifically in real life.
After being tricked, ambushed & captured, women removed his skin with mussel shells and tossed the pieces into a fire as he watched.
They skinned his face last, and burned him at the stake.

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.
