you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

Baristas are bringing their historic Red Cup Rebellion straight to Starbucks’ doorstep.
Starbucks can buy all the holiday commercials it wants, but it can’t hide from the workers demanding a union contract.

JK Rowling is destroying children's lives. Stop buying her shit, watching her shows, playing her games. You're funding her hate campaign. Move on.
Article in the Times today.
JKR has set her pre action attack team on a school supporting trans youth.
A father is threatening to sue for allowing trans children to use the loo they‘ve always used.
“I don’t wish trans people any ill”, he says, after casting them as voyeurs and sexual predators.
