People Born Across The Bridge Live 20 Years Longer. Why?

A Black child born in Windsor, Ontario, will likely live into her eighties.

A Black child born the same night in Detroit, visible across the river, is not likely to reach her seventies.

Policy is deadly.

Makes a goddess wonder if they’re trying to make TDS a thing because they plan to force us all into some sort of deprogramming camp where they try to “cure” us of our TDS like conversion therapy.

But I say to you, if hating Trump makes me crazy, I don’t want to be sane. 😂 3/3

According to Wikipedia, Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term used to describe negative reactions to U.S. President Donald Trump that are characterized as irrational and disconnected from Trump's actual policy positions. 2/3

I realize that two instances do not make a trend, but there seems to be an uptick in charges of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” from MAGA types. 1/3

Irony of ironies. Trump is pressuring Norway for a peace prize.

“His campaign has thrust Oslo into an uncomfortable spotlight, with media and observers worrying about the diplomatic and economic fallout should the Norwegian Nobel Committee snub him.”

DHS’s Kristi Noem targets country singer over song with lyrics about ICE

When the government starts leaning on artists over song lyrics, there’s a problem. Take country star Zach Bryan and his song that referenced ICE, for example.

Kristi Noem called country singer Zach Bryan’s anti-ICE ballad “disrespectful” and the White House accused him of wanting to “Open The Gates to criminal illegal aliens.”

Comics, musicians, artists, scholars are always public targets of authoritarian regimes. This regime is no different.

The White House is using footage of Florida in Trump’s “fake news” attempt at showing chaos in Chicago.
In the video which was shot during “Operation unrest” you can see palm trees.
They are so bad at this.
