Reckless cruelty isn’t strength. Capitulation isn’t courage. Cultish allegiance isn’t patriotism. We used to know the difference.

Having a zero tolerance policy on bullshit can actually save you from dealing with disrespect and disappointment. Stick to your boundaries, keep your standards high, and don't settle for less.

By the way, both women who ran for president were right. They predicted this moment would happen. Says something very disturbing about our country that many still think they’re unrealistic or dramatic, when they were and are, in fact, correct.

This may be the most beautiful sign I have seen at one of these (even though the subject matter is so ugly). The artist who painted it said she started it feeling angry and it was therapeutic. Especially love the bling. #HandsOffLA

Today Russia launched cruise missiles from the Black Sea for the first time in a year because Ukraine can no longer blow up Russian ships there due to the ceasefire on the sea. Seeking a PR win for Trump, the US is now getting alot of people killed simply because they believe Russians.

Canada picked a guy with a PhD in economics from Oxford. Mexico chose a woman with a degree in physics and a PhD in energy engineering. The U.S. handed the job to a carnival-barking senior citizen, with multiple felonies and six bankruptcies under his belt.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.
