My son shared this poem with me, written in the style of Dr Seuss or Shel Silverstein. Another cautionary tale.
I’d appreciate if large accounts who see this would repost the hell out of it!

Real leaders make room and opportunities for others. Michelle Obama explains that political leaders hang on too long and it’s a problem. I definitely agree.

Opal Sandy made history in 2023 as the first child to receive gene therapy for profound deafness due to a faulty gene, successfully restoring her hearing within months and allowing her to hear normally at age three.
This is just one reason why it's important to fund scientific research.

When your health insurance premiums increase next year, thank MAGA Republicans. Donald Trump promised to “lower costs on Day One,” but he spends his days tinkering with plans for his vanity project White House ballroom. Let them eat crypto and pardons for dictators.

Petty? Yes. Callous to those with visual disabilities who the government is supposed to serve? Yes.
But something more sinister is going on. Rubio's resurrection of a Roman font is part of an effort to enforce a MAGA aesthetic that echoes fascist propaganda efforts.

Trump's so-called $12 billion farm bailout is a fine example of socialism & corporate welfare.
That money passes through farmers to global corporate interests like John Deere, BASF, Bayer, and Archer Daniels Midland
