There are too many spiders in Los Angeles. Every time I see a spider in my house it’s a completely different type of spider than I have ever seen before. What are we doing guys? There should be no more than 12 types of spiders MAX

This isn't about Left and Right.
It's about low to no Empathy having people terrorizing folks with Empathy because it's entertaining.
And at some point, for our own survival, we're going to have to start a conversation about how to keep the Empathetic folks safe from the emotional terrorists.

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.
I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
