”People need water to live. But there’s a real sense of people trying to see how long they can object to it.”

He wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire, I'm not surprised he won't back his own citizens. One of our own, a boater I've known for years is on one of these boats, risking life and limb to try and get aid to people. Martin isn't fit to clean his boots.

Field study.

An old silo and farm outbuilding are seen across a corn field. Clouds are full and low-hanging. Wild grape climbs around the silo and outbuilding.

You got a rich powerful cishet white man's job secured but are doing nothing about the poc and immigrants being deported for their freedom of speech. Where's the boycott for the billionaire personally funding trans genocide? What of the genocide your politicians are funding in Palestine?
