Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?

So a pathological liar says on the global stage that Iran’s nuclear sites were “obliterated.” Actual intel says that’s not true. Why would anyone believe the pathological liar who’s desperate to be seen as a strongman and a winner, if they’re not a cultist?

📌Impeach him. Maybe THAT will get people paying attention to the anti-American fuckery that is going on here every hour.

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).

Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs

The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

"The fact that no one is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me, right?" said Representative Jasmine Crockett on MSNBC. She is 100% correct.

Does anyone even remember the fact that war plans were sent on personal phones using an insecure app with 2 people in the chat who did not have security clearance. The shit rolls in so fast that to keep up, we let some things slide. But that was a big one. I haven’t forgotten.

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing.
Emergency powers? He’s abusing them.
And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People

It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

Why?
