So proud of my mom who protested against the orange one and his Nazi loving friends. She's on the right.

Dear Leaders of the Free World,
Fight him at every turn.
Make his life miserable.
Expose his ignorance and sociopathy.
Oppose and condemn and marginalize him.
The decent people of this nation are not with him.
We stand with you.

this is truly despicable.
J.D. Vance uses DEI to cover for a potentially white male pilot being at fault: "When you don't have the best standards in who you're hiring, it means, on the one hand, you're not getting the best people in government, but on the other hand, it puts stresses on the people who are already there."
Hesgeth and Vance use the Washington D.C. airliner-helicopter crash to make anti-diversity, equity and inclusion points, suggesting it was to blame for the collision.
The Vice President didn't even open his remarks by referencing the victims or families - just straight into anti-DEI points.

Don't worry about subtext in your screenwriting. Instead, focus your attention on:
1. A character's wants.
2. Their tactics in getting it.
3. A fanatical devotion to emotional truth.
Do that, and the subtext will take care of itself.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Literally do not talk to any of my cousins because they are so ass backwards you'd think they were raised in the 1930s.

Some Trump supporters are now "concerned". You were warned. They want people poor and stupid. When people are poor and uneducated you can manipulate them at a snap of your will.

Christians who are upset about what Bishop Mariann Budde said have told on themselves. Showing mercy and compassion to the least of these is literally the teachings of Jesus.
They follow power not Christ. They preach nationalism and not the Gospel.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**
