A mirror big enough to expose the hypocrisy, hate, and division being sown by those at the highest levels of our government.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts.

See how it works?

If you don't think Social Security & Medicare are next, you're not paying attention. If you voted for this, you deserve all that's coming. I've spent my entire life a bleeding heart for others less fortunate, but I have no drops left for you. I feel nothing... except for your children. Damn you all.

Oh.

The LA Times is editing out negative parts of an article about RFK Jr. that say he's unfit for Secretary of Health and Human Services.

If the FBI gets purged of almost all of its agents, they will be replaced. The current vetting process for agents is onerous. But that can be changed, and there’s really nothing stopping a director from handing every Jan. 6 pardonee, or any other yahoo, a badge and a gun (and TS clearance)

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Mediocre, unqualified Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blames DEI for the crash—because they want the most qualified. As if we have pilots and air traffic controllers without degrees. Or training.

How does anyone take this man seriously? For anything!
