I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

I'm going to have to check and double check my work here but at first glance it seems this line in the "MAHA" report is horrible misrepresentation of the study it cites (seen here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17667478/).

If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

⚠️ The White House budget proposal would fully eliminate IMLS—the only federal agency for library services—in FY2026. This would gut access to information and opportunity, especially in rural areas.
