Trumpism reminds me of the pre 9/11 Taliban blowing up ancient antiquities because they wanted everyone to adhere to their ignorant brutality. There can be no Buddha statues in a land of supplicants and fearful toadies worshiping an orange godhead. Not prosecuting him is among our greatest follies.

Watching Trump’s choose his Cabinet is like watching a gang of vandals break into the MET and smash and slash everything in sight because they’re too dumb to know its value or understand it’s beauty. NIH is a crown jewel, beyond contemptible, what they have done. Sad days for USA.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Since 60k of you have followed, I figured I would reintroduce myself. Aaron Parnas. I’m 25 years old, a lawyer, and a Gen Z Democratic activist.

Now’s the time to band together, build community here, and fight back.

Repost this, give me a follow, and let’s build community here.
