You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.

RFK Jr. wants to "make America healthy again." So he's doing that by dismantling federal health agencies and firing civil servants who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and vaccines. Do I have this right?

I gotta push back when people (myself included at times) call everything not Epstein related a "distraction" It's more than "a distraction " everything being done is being done with purpose to rip the fibers of democracy apart. There are real life implications, I wouldn't call those distractions.

Reading Pratchett’s “Night Watch” for the zillionth time rn and, not to be all shitlib or anything, but man the whole “the kidnapping cop squad wear masks and no badges” and “the leader is insane and his advisers are all criminals” stuff is really hitting close to home

Any time I read a fantasy book where they have a training montage, it makes me want to start working out with a sword in hand so I can feel powerful

The regime's response to the Epstein press conference was telling and not surprising.

Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…

Quite courageous indeed. More than most realize. These women are risking being terrorized or murdered by their wealthy perpetrators. Their speaking up is more dangerous than they may even know. And they still fucking did it. The least we can do is to BELIEVE them over a pathological liar.

It's funny that dog crimes are like "nibbled on some trash" and cat crimes are like "puked into brand new keyboard while making direct eye contact"
