As much as I'd like to tell a family story about how this hurts real people, my family member (a school admin) is terrified that, even with details hidden, they will be found out and risk their job. This is now what it's like to be an American now: FEAR. kentuckylantern.com/2025/05/01/n...

Maybe what we're not comprehending just yet is that they not only don't care that people will die, they might prefer it. Eugenics includes elimination of the 'weak'. And what does Trump abhor above all else? Weakness. 1/

The say Harvard and he rants about Harlem; they say asylum seekers and he says immigrants from mental asylums are pouring across the border; in an ABC interview he picks a fight with the interviewer bc he’s been duped by photoshop. Go ahead. Tell us more about Biden’s decreased mental capacity.

99.9% of Americans won’t hear that Trump killed this program. And at 2,000 additional dead kids or so each year, most people will have no idea what was lost.

The way Carville and Smith sit there stone-faced. Funny how they’re so bold when they’re not on a TV set with two sold-out, disgraced media figures in Reilly and Cuomo.
