A little extra love to Minnesota nurses today.
You’re either lost forever, and you believe in all of it until the day you d*e, or you step back, say no, and come with us. 5/5
And if you don’t defect from the insanity, if that one, horrible event doesn’t tip the scales and horrify you, finally, enough to turn away, you are lost forever. History doesn’ty lie. That’s what happens. That one tipping point is the moment.
I think it will happen, because our Congress is too f*cking chicksh*t to stop it. One of these untrained, power-hungry fools holding a murder weapon will do it.
Let’s talk about the moment when they randomly fire into the crowd and mow down protestors. Protestors whose Constitution literally gives them the right to peaceably assemble. To show up. To say no.

If you don’t feel it in your soul that what they’re doing to our fellow American citizens is wrong, let’s talk about when it’s not individual deaths that they try to explain away with whatever they think will make you feel better.
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Reframe your mind. Grow your empathy.
With high winds expected to hamper East Coast hubs on Friday, air traffic controllers continue to call out of work in greater numbers after missing their first full paycheck—leading to further flight delays.
Any young person who's trying to figure out manipulative patterns and behaviors, would be well-advised watch videos of Mike Johnson with the sound off – and then listen to him with audio only. He's a quintessential high-manipulative personality. Stay far, far away from anyone who reminds you of him.
Just flew in from Saturn to check on y’all. What are you lunatics up to? 🪐 ✨
Imagine you're a career military general being summoned for a pentagon strategy lecture by a former game show host and a former weekend talk show host.
REPUBLICANS: “Jimmy Kimmel was not a free speech issue. It was a private decision.”
TRUMP: “I TOLD THEM TO CANCEL THAT SHOW! NOW I’M GONNA TAKE ALL THE FREE SPEECH ABC HAS! NO MORE SAYING WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT ME”
REPUBLICANS: “It is ridiculous to imply we are the party of censorship.”

Obama applauds Newsom's California redistricting plan as 'responsible' as Texas GOP pushes new maps
What real leadership looks like.
