Progressive, former dancer, civil rights, and human rights activist. I've been told I don't have a filter, so you know beforehand. I don't tolerate bigots, racists, MAGA cult members, or, in general, horrible human beings. I love humor and sarcasm.
This is an exclusive story from Rolling Stone, but I think you have to have a subscription or access through Apple News or someplace else. Anyway, it's a very interesting and disturbing story that should scare all of us.

Did you know David Gilmour once sold his £3 million London mansion and donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said, "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof."
No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity.

People who say “it won’t matter”, or “nothing ever changes”, or “there’s nothing I can do” are just looking for an excuse to do nothing.
Don’t be one of those people.
Do something small every day. It might seem insignificant, but it adds up, especially when millions of us are doing small things.

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

This is the dance. Accuse an agency of being inefficient or corrupt. Cut employees and needed contracts. Cause it to fail more than kill the whole thing. USAID and CFPB are just the start.
Republican Greg Murphy was asked point-blank if Veterans would lose their benefits due to GOP cuts.
His answer? “No, I can’t guarantee anything.”
This is the Republican Party under Trump: shrugging off the well-being of Veterans while pushing reckless cuts.
