Leave Greenland ALONE. POTUS is deranged, greedy, and swollen with vanity. His minions are cult following liars.
The media needs to STOP normalizing acquistion, possession, purchase, buying, obtaining, owning, or procuring Greenland by treating this as news rather than malfeasance.

Everything is really scary and horrible, and on the utter flipside, we made these really adorable valentines.
The dissonance of seeing horror, then posting "hey buy some cute valentines" is making me feel loopy.
But also nice things persist despite terror? Ugh idk.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Also, IDEA has not been reauthorized since 2004. Some people might throw rocks at me, but the only way that it could be reauthorized again is if Democrats control Congress with a Republican president. Democrats could pick off just enough Republicans to pass it through the Senate.

I can't scream loudly enough that the people leading HHS right now are liars. RFK Jr. Marty Makary. Vinay Prasad. They are liars. And the lies they are telling are the lies eugenicists like themselves tell.
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”
