What the actual fuck?! One of the most racist political tropes is the insistence that people of color, especially boys, are born with a criminal predisposition. The only difference is that they coated their racist comments in slick verbiage. Now, their racism is an identity, worn proudly.

Too many insurance carriers will follow the bad advice from the anti-vax regime, making the ability to pay for vaccines out-of-pocket out of reach for many families. The next step will be to criminalize parents choosing to vaccinate their children. This was never about parent-choice.

Any time someone in the Repugnant Party says “now is not the time to talk about…” any tragedy, NOW is the time to talk about it.

There are red states that have been test waters for Project 2025 for years, having eroded the socio-political structure, replacing it with austere governance. This flood will be used for political capital on both sides of the spectrum. The deaths of these poor people becoming just more flotsam.

Say it ain’t so?! You mean that removing the people from system critical stations would complicate coordinated responses?! This is what happens when you remove critical thinking from your governance. No one is left to turn on the lights so the room stays dark.

Sick of the misinformation. Sick of the bigotry. Sick of the gutting of public education. Sick of the willful ignorance. Sick of the public and media veneration of the filthy rich as aspirational. Sick of the people that love money and power and have crushed 99% of us into the ground.

And the short attention span of the electorate will believe that it is the fault of the NWS without linking the DOGE cuts and the disastrous decisions of Donnie and his cronies, leading the way to privatization.

An entirely different USA than is reality lives in their heads. Which came first: the lie or the people who believe the lie and repeat it ad nauseam? Just once I want to see a report come back with “that is a blatant falsehood relying on willful ignorance of your constituents to believe it”.
