They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Focusing on the 22 countries in the Global Flourishing Study we find not flourishing is highest among women and the young. We emphasise the importance of accounting for survey mode when examining wellbeing and illbeing. www.nber.org/papers/w3432... @sriucl.bsky.social @dannyblanchy.bsky.social
