Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

They are going full oligarchy to the sound of silent consent. When fascism takes over, it is not with a bang but a gradual normalization of corruption, nepotism, and organized crime.

They'll slow boil democracy until nothing is left. The time to act is now, the time to protest is overdue.

Education is the bedrock of revolution. Arm society with knowledge, illuminate systemic flaws, and foster critical thought. An informed populace cannot be subdued.

Book: “This likeable character does not want to go on a journey or be a hero”

Me, for the 10,000th time: “Oh, then I suppose they won’t.”

Book: “Despite everyone’s desires, our character must go on a journey and become a hero…”

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.

We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

I’m just an armchair political expert so take this with a grain of salt, but I’m pretty sure the person who shot and killed the CEO of UnitedHealth now gets to be the CEO of UnitedHealth. Per tradition.
