Neutrality won’t save us. False balance won’t save us.

We need clarity.
We need courage.
And we need to stop pretending this is all just partisan noise.

Because if we let “normal” become this, there won’t be anything left to protect.

The cost is not theoretical.
It’s disabled kids denied education.
It’s women losing bodily autonomy.
It’s immigrants torn from families.
It’s parents watching supports vanish in real time.

This isn’t “politics.”
These are human rights violations.

Let’s call it by its name.

When experts are purged and replaced with loyalists? That’s fascism.
When every institution is declared corrupt—except the one leader you must obey? That’s fascism.
When human rights are stripped and dismissed as “just politics”? That’s fascism.

Receipts from just the last few weeks:
▪️ RFK Jr. fired every CDC vaccine panel member (ACIP).
▪️ DOJ removed ADA enforcement guidance.
▪️ DOE preparing to cancel IDEA grants for kids with disabilities.
▪️ National Guard flown to D.C.—to mulch cherry trees.
▪️ RFK Jr.’s own group sued HHS

Pattern much?

Our systems are flawed—yes. They’ve failed many communities, including mine.
But what’s happening now isn’t reform.

It’s demolition.
Deliberate. Coordinated. Strategic.

I know it's a cliche' but he looks really special out there. It's going to be so much fun watching him run the offense this season.
