I'm not voting for any politician who needs to be pushed to do the moral thing. If you have to be persuaded not to fund a genocide then you don't need my vote in the first place. The days of voting for politicians who have to be pushed to do the right thing should end in 2025.

23 Democrats vote NO on Trump impeachment. The man is literally enacting fascism, funding genocide, abandoning our allies, and invading Venezuela—& they’re fine with that. Primary every one of these fascism enablers. Vote them out of office. Who needs MAGAs with Complicit Corporate Democrats? ⬇️

When the government admits it broke the law to imprison children, that is not a policy failure. It is a moral one.
ICE now admits that hundreds of children were held past the legal 20-day custody limit set to protect their safety.
Five were kept for 168 days.
Some faced unsafe conditions and went days without medical care.
This crosses a moral line.

Legal advocates concerned over the prolonged detention of immigrant children in federal custody are sounding the alarm before the federal court. U.S.

The turn to slop is something we actually have a lot of power over. We choose what art we engage with and whose art we engage with. We have the ability to choose films based on original ideas, to read books instead of just doom scroll, to talk about poetry instead of just Vanderpump.

The devastation I feel about this attack on science in particular is hard to cope with. It’s like watching my dad die all over again. I would do anything to spare someone a death via pancreatic cancer.
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.
