This is definitely the same thing that happens to mothers of children diagnosed with #Dyslexia. Our kids are treated as a behavior until they break & then mom says “THEY CANT READ! WHAT PART OF HE IS DYSLEXIC DID YOU MISS” It is statistically impossible not to have a dyslexic in your family.

Bernie could have put a stop to this in 2016, 2020 & all the years in-between & since. But he has not. He could change the course of history, right now, & say, "We must all work together to defeat fascism." But he doesn't do that. Instead, he trashes the one path we have: The Democratic party.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence

This won’t go well—we love our parks.

He either wants to steal it like he stole a bunch of other shit at the end of his first term, or he wants to give it to Vladimir Putin the way Robert Kraft "gave" a Super Bowl ring to Putin.
