Ben Shapiro: "If you don’t like the system, the proper response to that system would be legislation. In a democratic republic, the way to fix problems is to have open discussions of the details of those problems and then craft regulatory or legal fixes."

How’s that 1 follower working out for you?

I am a physician, so yes I do actually care about cancer research. (Leave to it a man with your profile picture to think he can tell women what they think.) And Trump is going to raise the debt by trillions of dollars with his tax breaks for the rich. No lie. Troll.

how would i have found out about this ahead of time? i am subscribed to several stacks about actions we can actually take AND just started an Indivisible group (first meeting today!) and yet heard nothing of this. although i am still learning to drink from a firehouse….

I am a healthcare worker and so feel like I have to work. but I would be willing to “sponsor” someone who puts their job on the line to strike. I wonder if anyone is organizing anything like this?

and the MAGA crowd will lap it up

cancer research is waste? keeping planes safe is abuse? I could go on and on….

what are your suggestions?

i would donate to this. I also love that he can talk to working class Republicans, because the only way we’re gonna get out of this mess is with broad working class support.

did you ever hear from her?

that’s where i was last week. I spent Sunday not looking at my phone- slept late, painted, watched some comedy. I was actually able to spend several hours not obsessing over <waves hand> all of this. it was a needed reset and I am feeling more hopeful today. I hope you can find something similar

This is my
favorite of my many, many substack reads in the last few weeks. I believe all of this with every fiber of my being. It’s so good to feel a glimmer of hope again.
