Lately, it feels like our public conversations jump straight to passion before we ever get to the facts. Passion has its place; it’s what drives us to care, to act, to show up. But when passion replaces facts instead of building on them, meaningful debate disappears.

The Trump administration talked tough on trade, slapped tariffs that hit farmers hard, and then chickened out on real farm policy. Instead, they scrambled together a $12 billion bailout — a move the New York Times reported as a short-term patch rather than a long-term fix.

🌮🐔 TACO Tuesday: Trump Always Chickens Out 🐔🌮

Talk tough on drugs Monday. Promise to pardon a convicted drug‑trafficking president Friday.

400 tons of cocaine later, the only thing consistent is the flip‑flop.

Use your money wisely. Don't support the big box stores that don't support you (especially if they support Trump!). Boycott Target, Home Depot, and Amazon.

Instead, please support local and small businesses when and where you can.

Long-term vs. Short-term Self-Care

Short term - it’s taking care of yourself. Exercise, healthy foods, and keeping your internal battery charged.

Long term - it’s making sure the world you live in now is still healthy for you in the future.

Trump’s environmental rollbacks do the opposite of both.

Voltaire warned us centuries ago: when leaders push absurdities, they’re testing how far they can bend reality. This is a moment to stop, think, and question what you’re being asked to accept as ‘normal.’
