Adding a real picture of me, because my handle is not my name, and people I actually know are migrating to BlueSky. So when they get here they have a chance of knowing I’m me. 😅

Unless there are Nuremberg trials for everyone involved in this system, it will be a moral failure of historical proportions.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers.

They've been trying to numb us for a long time.

Fascism. Oppression. Genocide. All on display.

They want us desensitized, to think it's just the way the world works when deep down we know it is unnatural.

Don't let them take away the feeling from you.
It's uncomfortable because you're human.

On Thursday the richest man in the world called his ex-bestie a pedophile.

On Friday that pedophile surged ICE raids in California.

On Saturday that pedophile deployed troops against Americans.

Pretty sus timing!

Don't let trump's racist travel ban distract you from the fact that he is trying to strip healthcare away from millions while giving himself unchecked power.

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Americans think nothing bad will ever happen to them when something new and horrible happens to them every single day in the form of executive orders, court rulings, and laws passed.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.
Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care
Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

President Trump has not wasted a moment using his position of power for personal gain.

Today’s official acceptance of a luxury jet from the Qatari government for use as Air Force One poses a needless threat to U.S. national security and is a disturbing abuse of the office of the President.

For those who were not raised with decent “home training”, the only proper response at a time like this is to express sympathy and well wishes. And if you can’t do that, silence works.
