Humans, however, are social creatures. The feeling of loneliness triggers a stress response. Evolution has biologically wired us to require social acceptance because that is how we best survive. We literally need each... For so many reasons beyond food alone.

Tigers are solo creatures. Cortisol levels rise when they are around each other. Their biology has evolved to recognize that when other tigers are near, resources are lower. Other tigers are a threat to their survival - they might go hungry.

🔻USAID – aid frozen, global health crises left on hold.
🔻HUD – housing help buried under “efficiency.”
🔻Federal Grants – research and public programs gutted for show.
🔻CFPB – predators unleashed, consumers on their own.

If the film causes viewers to side with the tyrant, the psychopath, the serial killer, the causer of pain *instead of* the victims - then it’s pro-villain propaganda. 🤷‍♀️

Another way films “convert” viewers to a way of thinking is reframing a story to empathize with the villain. Oppenheimer, Extremely Wicked, Wolf of Wall Street, The Social Network, etc. Even if a director’s intention was something else, what matters is the message the audience comes away with.

Prop 17 (HJR 34) – they’re trying to give tax breaks to border-security developers and landowners. It creates an exemption similar to churches, so they don’t have to pay property taxes on those projects.

Vote NO on Prop 17.

Prop 16 (SJR 37) doesn’t change anything – Texas law already allows *only* US citizens to vote. This just adds it to the state constitution to make sure local (city) governments never try to let non-citizen residents vote in local elections.

Prop 15 will make it easier to sue schools over curriculum, make it harder to protect kids from neglect or unsafe medical choices, and give legal ground to refuse vaccinations.
