Shadow Surgeon General @vinguptamd.bsky.social giving you the advice you need
We spent nearly 8 minutes this morning trying to set the record straight on a number of health matters.

"Washington has become the court of Nero, an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a jester high on ketamine in charge of purging the civil service.

This is a tragedy for the free world, but it is first and foremost a tragedy for the United States."

Openly call it a coup and hostile occupation

The most reliable counter to a fascist coup is a popular front uprising.

The most effective thing opposition leaders can do is call the situation what it is & start building it.

We must show that this Govt is as illegitimate as the Vichy Govt was.

“Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Tump has done nothing that would not be on a Russian wish list:

-Ukraine invaded Russia. Support Putin.

-A de facto Russian agent head of Intelligence.

-Kills USAID, the largest competitor against Russia for foreign influence

-A drunk cutting defense budget.

That's a few. It's a long list.

Don't feed into the impotency by shaking your fists outside locked building. Show up at the places where dots need to be connected. Show up. It's not complicated.
