This is not a world for smart people. I'm educated, mentally ill, and frightened of humanity's ignorance. I'm a former teacher who cares about a shared sense of reality. Education is the only thing that can save us from ourselves.

My first post: You can call me Gent. During the first Trump administration, I was a political blogger. I covered the admin very closely.

I am here primarily to give young people the knowledge and tools to improve the world. Keep speaking up for social justice!

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Some people in the military have been saying that our troops won't obey illegal orders, but they're already illegally occupying American cities.

How sad is it that we've come to a place where the fate of our country depends on if our military will follow the president or the constitution.

We are going to be hearing "just doing my job" forever.

Hopefully every military personnel understands their OATH & understands UMCJ.

I just need to scream into the void. I can't put into words how angry, frustrated, and trapped I feel.

My therapist keeps saying it can get better, but I don't see that happening. I hate this world.

These corporations don't care about any moral stance or political cause. They only care about money.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now."

It's really insane that Republicans believe racism and demonizing liberals are going to bring us together. Of course, everything right now is insane.

Ted Cruz should have been more alarmed in 2016 when Trump attacked the free press.

Capitalism's monopoly makes it so difficult to hold anyone accountable because they have their hands in everything.

Even Ted Cruz knows it! There has been times when Republicans have warned about trumps power grab, but they still won't listen.

I'm schizophrenic and on medicaid. Yes, my body works, but my mind betrays me. You can't tell by looking at me.

If these ignorant vultures had to deal with a sliver of what I do, they would be creating luxury disabled living homes.

Dr Oz on Newsmax: "On average, the able-bodied individual on Medicaid watches 6.1 hours of television -- that's a lot of your show -- plus they sit around."

Nancy Mace: "We're not dealing with sane people. They need to be dealt with boldly, strongly. I support everything Trump is saying and wanting to do ... that's why I'm working to root out the teachers and healthcare workers in South Carolina who celebrate murder. I don't want them around our kids."

I don't believe for a second that Trey Reed hung himself! This is Mississippi, right after Reps swear revenge for Kirk.
