No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

We're where we are today bc people's hate for others was stronger than their desire to look out for their own self interest. No, not just MAGA, low information voters, too. We will only make it out of this dystopia if we stop judging and start listening. Empathy & compassion are the only ways back.

Remember that video of the transgender person all coked-up and leering at cheerleaders with Jeffrey Epstein at Mar a Lago? Oh wait, my bad that was Donald Trump. MAGA is the party of predators and pervs. Fact.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Trump also seems to think those he casts as destroying the Country violate the Law by their very being. Trump calls immigrants from Latin America, Asia, and Africa “illegals.” Trump frames queer people as “groomers.” 1/2

Individuals bear the costs of speaking out but don't capture the collective benefits for democracy. A classic externality - and one that could doom our system of government.

It’s not what Trump posted that tells you where this is going; it’s how his people are responding to it that really tells you where this is going.

Fixed the headline: RFK Jr. confirmed, elevating anti-health activist to nation’s top health post. To oppose vaccines is to oppose the health of the American people. His confirmation couldn’t be more dangerous to our wellbeing. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

@nytimes.com they may have “limited” power to control inflation but they CAN and have made it worse through reckless policies. Understanding this takes an ounce of critical thinking.

Inflation remained stubbornly high in January, as grocery, gasoline and shelter costs all rose. Egg prices saw their biggest price hike in almost a decade.

U.S. inflation is rising as Trump pledged to bring prices down on day 1. But Trump likely won’t lose many voters. Because how they voted wasn’t about the inflation of prices. It was primarily about the perceived inflation of women and peoples of color in our society. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

To every BS question White House press staff feeds to MSM interviewers abt whether Dems ‘want a shutdown’, ‘are gonna vote for a shutdown’. Of course not. We just need the criminal conduct to stop before we can negotiate if the White House is asking for our votes. Who could disagree with that?
