We need Joy as we need air. We need Love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share. ~ Maya Angelou

  1. Trump/RFK are decapitating our public health system, a pillar of American greatness. So Dem Govs should scour every corner of the law for creative new ways to defend their people from this madness.

    Dems should polarize this debate to the max.

    “It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is” Marbury v Madison & 200 years of history

  4. german universities were once at the forefront of science before the nazis destroyed them to eliminate the "jew science" that would lead to the atomic bomb; the nazis eugenic beliefs were based in several ways on weird, occult, medieval beliefs

    fascism rhymes and adapts. america's is not unique

    That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

  6. The constant need to claim American exceptionalism in every arena is truly mind-numbing. Our fascism isn't special; it's just a riff on standard fascism, which inherently relies on anti-science rhetoric and eugenics.
