I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Oh THAT’S why they’re called Tankies.
Tank man wasn't run over and the tanks were leaving tianenmen square when he confronted them. Running people over happens enough in America there's no need to compare to something that did not happen
there is video of a man who got run over by an ICE SUV in Los Angeles today trying to stop them from hauling someone away.
To my mind, it reminded me of Tiennamen Square’s Tank Man in 1989.
How far will any person go to stop injustice? what’s the breaking point to put your body on the line?

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Matt Groening had it right. These are the Stupid Ages
Historians will propose in due course a name for this current phase we are witnessing in the United States. My early submission: The Great Dismantling.
