It's OK to simply be decent and wish the best to those trying to survive these devastating fires in LA. But...nope. Can't have that because a vulgarian is about to assume power again and is utterly incapable of performing decency and humanity.

I’ve said this before, but my dad lost 4 siblings to polio & smallpox before the age of 10. They would be here today if they had access to vaccines. I wish we could trade those antivaxxers for my aunts & uncles.
As an Indian, my contempt for (rich white) anti-vaxxers in the west is so deep I often cannot quite find the words to express my contempt.
I grew up seeing polio-disabled children and adults crawling over rubble and roads in India.
My father worked for the Pulse Polio program.
What is happening?

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

Seems like maybe there should be laws preventing this.
Elon Musk spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to help Donald Trump win the presidency, federal filings revealed.
Elon Musk Spent Over $250 Million to Help Elect Trump
The enormous spending from the world’s richest man quietly fueled allied groups and was revealed only now, as Mr. Musk plays a key role in the presidential transition.
