The fact that my mom still supports Drump while being married to a husband who was sexually assaulted multiple times as a child blows my mind. A cult if a hell of a thing.

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes.
Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

This week I share an anniversary with thousands of strangers. My mom died of Covid five yrs ago today; hers was one of 9,744 such deaths that week. That we know of.
It was a mass death event. It was made much worse by the man now returned to the Oval Office.
This is how I felt; maybe you did too.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
