STOP THE OLIGARCHS!
We can live in the world we want if we can wake up as many as possible.
F racist people.
F people who lack empathy.
F our children getting shot in schools.
F working until you die.
Religion is a great way to justify shitty behavior.

Trump Covers Up Bird Flu Data as Outbreak Spreads
Avian flu is spreading—67 U.S. cases since 2024. NY shut down poultry markets, but Trump’s team is limiting outbreak data instead of addressing the crisis. Public health is on the line, but transparency isn’t “mission-critical” to them.

Listen friends - gather your hope where you can. People showed up in all 50 states on a moments notice. Voicemail boxes of senators are filling up. Lawsuits are being filed.
Look at all the good people.
And do not forget to take care of yourselves. Seriously. This is a long haul.

“Trump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president. He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him.”

This is so true. In many ways, life doesn't even seem real right now. Ready for the aliens to save us!
My God, I feel this post as much as any I have read in the last month
The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”
