Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Science discarded,
The art of critical thinking flayed,
While fools weave
Their insubstantial dreams,
Brittle as new ICE,
Ever eager to please
The orange waste on the throne,
That demands only the dullness
Of unremarkable subservience.

“….WAR CRIME…”

I would add, if you encounter a major surgery requirement in the near future…ONLY allow a surgeon who uses surgical procedures from 2000 years ago…to perform your surgery. That…would be impressive.

When the GOP get unchecked power, they don’t govern, they run experiments. Kansas was a warning. Texas is next. In Nov 2025, 17 GOP amendments rewired the Constitution to lock in giveaways, hollow out public goods, & explode deficits. We already know how this ends.
