MAGA Parents,
We're terribly afraid that our children may be woke.
In other words, they actually give a shit about other people.
How have you prevented your kids from that?

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution.
We have guardrails to stop a rogue president.
But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared.
Wait for the final irony.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

Do me a favor—share this quick explainer by @reeciecolbert.bsky.social with folks ‘confused’ about the LAFD budget cut and its impact on the fires.
Spoiler: the “budget cut” was covered by an overrun. Translation? The department didn’t run out of money—they spent far more than originally approved.
