2025 has been shockingly difficult so far. I evacuated Wednesday with the only 4 things that truly matter. Sending so much love to Los Angeles and all those impacted ❤️
Charlie Kirk’s quote from April 2023 for use in his obituary:
"I think it's worth [it] to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other god-given rights.That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

This is disgraceful. Someone should paint his home and streets in rainbows. What an asshole.
In the dead of night, Ron DeSantis ordered the rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial painted over — defacing a sacred space in the heart of Orlando that honors the 49 lives stolen in one of the deadliest massacres in U.S. history.

We are deeply concerned by today's ruling allowing federal control of CA National Guard without state consent. This dangerous precedent undermines state sovereignty and constitutional rights. We urge Congress and the public to reject the normalization of military intervention in civilian affairs.

Psilocybin causes people to feel more connected & unified. The greater sense of connectedness is linked to increased prosocial behavior. In other words, psilocybin makes us want to get along & see the good in each other. That’s not good for capitalism or for the goals of the current administration.
