Want health, education, safety, & happiness for everyone. 💙Yes, I’ve been called a bleeding heart liberal and happy to be! I love ‘80s alternative music 🎶 I follow the teachings of Jesus but am suspicious of organised religion. (NO DMs UNLESS I KNOW YOU.)

I wanted to find media that gives just the facts, no opinions, no hyperbole, no propaganda. Just facts. So I found 2 media bias charts, one created by a liberal, another by a conservative. Compared the ones in the center of both charts. Picked the top 2. That’s where I get my news and information.

Measles outbreaks are spreading across the U.S., and the country is now at risk of losing its disease-elimination status. Infectious disease experts say this is directly tied to Trump appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS. Are we great yet?

Every life lost, every family torn apart, reminds us that actions both in war and in peace have far reaching consequences. My heart goes out to all of those who grieve, and I believe it’s vital we reflect on these tragedies with empathy, accountability, and a commitment to preventing further harm.

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

I share his sensibilities. However, blaming the singers for what their leader and supporters are doing seems unfair. As an American, I see the injustice in this.

Kirk has left a hateful, dehumanizing legacy of words that Conservative Christians are either choosing to ignore in their zeal to canonize him, or they simply share his racist, phobic, misogynist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, supremacist sentiments.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara apologies to the US citizen who was brutally detained by ICE.

“This is embarrassing”.

ICE is embarrassing America.

That’s why tourist revenue is down.

That’s why people don’t want to visit.

That’s why there’s boycotts.

It’s an embarrassment & a danger.

Trump is a felon and a r*pist.

If you support him, you're just a sh*tty human.

That's just how this is.
