They're trying to run a private equity con on the federal government.

The reason it's really important to leave substack NOW is their relatively new social networking features. Substack is creating a walled garden that you *have* to share with white supremacists. They want to keep you on substack where all the Nazis are and force you to share your revenue with them.

40 years of progress in controlling the HIV epidemic are about to be completely shattered if nothing is done. Keep speaking out and keep education on what is unfolding.

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism: 1). They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement bc they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled thru terror 2). If they can’t terrorize you 24/7 in your mind, they have already lost the war
