Power shields predators because domination is its core. To them, women are collateral - currency in the economy of control. This is not aberration but design; a hierarchy built on the subjugation of women will always protect those who exploit it. #3E

The Trump's and the MAGA cohort are the reason we can't have nice things
You have to be a seriously shitty president to spend your time attacking Elmo and our National Parks.

In between the stories of horrific human rights abuses and trade war insanity I remember that they have also destroyed all our research and data infrastructure and effectively ended any environmental, health, or labor regulation.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

Its not OK. Its f*cked up unnecessary ruin imposed on everyone who is not rich so the rich can exploit this suffering. Think about it Trump is artificially causing chaos like the pandemic. So all those that grew rich from the pandemic can have a repeat while more poor people are led to ruin&death
There it is.
Welker: Is it ok in the short term to have a recession?
Trump: Yeah. Everything is ok.

JD is not a trustworthy person. He is lacking of integrity or basic human decency. He cares about being popular
seems kind of weird that the vice president of the united states is openly supportive of german neo-nazis!
Not only is he going out of his way to strengthen the European far right, that claim about the Berlin Wall is beyond absurd.
This is a broad strategic alignment away from the liberal democracies toward the global right.

Revere the simple💛
There's a reason they say variety is the *spice* of life & not the nourishment, the meat (or the protein, for my vegan bbs).
The "boring" stuff makes life possible: a piece of bread. An apple. Some spinach. A leg of chicken. A cup of beans. Rice.
Be more grateful for these. Revere the simple🙌🏾💚
