let's vote the bigots out so we can bring it all back. all of it. all the wokeness. LET'S STAY AWAKE.
Capturing the word "woke" from Black dialect & completely flipping its meaning gives this fascist bigotry cover. They now can use "wokeness" euphemistically to describe what they're doing & advance their vision of oppressing the marginalized.
Conservatives rebranded bigotry and every time the media uses “wokeness” as a euphemism they are helping a movement that it quite literally erasing the history marginalized people’s role in American life.

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔
A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice.
Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

The fact that repeated cognitive assessments are being done actually means that dementia is being 'worked up' (i.e. he is being evaluated for dementia). Neither of the Bush presidents, not Obama, not Clinton -- none of these presidents have needed repeat cognitive assessments or dementia work up.
He is not well.

This is the story that MAGA is so intent on destroying...for what reason? So that when they need dialysis from their hypertension and diabetes, there won't be any kidney doctors who can help??

What an absolute POS. Can we "ex-communicate" this dude?
Is there such a thing as desi "ex-communication"? Can we run him out of the club please? What a poor excuse for any kind of public citizen.

Nope. No it isn't "immigration policy", "labor shortage" or any other such reason that "makes students want to pursue medicine and become doctors." NOPE. Not relevant. Not even remotely relevant to why we become doctors. NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Shame on a country that elected someone President who calls people of color "garbage" and whose daughter called a Congresswoman of color "ghetto trash." It's beyond the pale, so far outside the norms of decency, civility, basic expectations in a democracy. VOTE THE BIGOTS OUT. Begone.

BREAKING: The New York Times is suing the Department of Defense over the Pentagon’s new restrictions on press access. The Times is seeking a declaration that the new policy is unconstitutional on its face and an injunction barring its enforcement.

Unworthy of a president, of a leader. Completely unworthy and despicable. Let's not forget he did this.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Most cult leaders "think they're right." However, the fact that RFK vaccinated HIS OWN KIDS but doesn't want the nation's children to have that protection is really telling. Does he think what he's saying is right? Or is he actually just serving a MAGA eugenics attack against poor people?

I have two recommendations for mad creators on bluesky you should support: @mewefree.bsky.social & @moxiest.art . I vouch that they sell really dope merch that I wear. I think you should help them sustain themselves by checking out what they offer & picking something you like & spreading word.

Hard to even imagine how Trump doesn't want the swastika to be designated as a hate symbol, doesn't want to condemn neo-Nazis -- yet his son-in-law Jared Kushner is the grandson of Holocaust survivors.
