If this is not the Middle Ages, why am I surrounded by the most superstitious, anti-science, willfully ignorant, hyper-religious weirdos who want white male Christians to run the world?
Sounds pretty medieval to me.

I don’t know where this text came from but it’s a great response to those from other countries who don’t understand the U.S. I would add this: good luck getting any changes to the Constitution through Congress and the 50 States. We’ve dug ourselves a very deep hole.
it must be very frustrating and confusing, from outside this, to understand our complex, flawed systems.

Why prices will likely skyrocket. This is a well thought-out explanation.
1/ A tiny volcanic island most Americans have never heard of could help raise the price of gas, groceries & nearly everything delivered by truck. Yemen’s Houthis just seized it, completing the final piece of a three-route squeeze on Middle Eastern oil. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Do the Inupiat tribal members, (shareholders in Akima) know that their profits are the result of detaining, transporting, and housing undocumented people rounded up by ICE? Is engaging in inhumane treatment of humans an Inupiat value? Facilities are in Florida, New York, and elsewhere.

The doctor who claimed that vaccines cause autism lost his medical license for faking for the study. But his lies and the damage he did to public health persist long after his paper was pulled. This is why science communication is so difficult; all it takes is one grifter.

Fully aware and can’t believe our Congress or the courts will not or cannot prevent it from happening, not just to him but countless others. The cruelty is most definitely the point. It’s sickening.

Violent opposition can lead to stalemate or civil war.
The objective of nonviolent action is to undermine those in power, while winning over the general population. The most resistant groups are those who benefit from & support a dictatorship, such as the police, the military, and various elites.
