My only working explanatory hypothesis right now is that billionaires and authoritarians *Literally* thrive on human misery; that if people aren't suffering then all their money and power don't actually sustain them, and that cruelty & sheer horror are the only things that flow through their veins.

Tell the people who mean something to you that they mean something to you while you're all still here to say and receive it. Don't put it off.

I know everything is on fire but PLEASE contact your representatives about the selloff of public lands. It's a heartbreaking proposal that will destroy the soul of America.
Your favorite campgrounds, hiking trails, and forests could soon be up for auction
Republicans want to make 250 million acres of public lands eligible for sale to housing developers.

Urgent community action needed by Monday!
“DOE wants to remove 12 civil rights rules. Part of these are disability access protections. They say the rules are unnecessary & outdated”
This will mean buildings aren’t accessible to disabled people. Another step towards eliminating us from society

This has not gotten enough traction. Those with physical or mental disability are under attack by the DoE with a new proposed rule that will deregulate handicapped access to future buildings regulations. Please submit a public comment in opposition. We only have 3 days left!

This is what Trump told Playboy in 1990:
"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak."

"They are also worried about a potential Tiananmen Square moment where you have a protester standing in front of a tank. That is not what America is supposed to look like."
