We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.   Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

Yes, this is real, yes, fascists are in charge, and yes, they are trying to destroy science, scientists and Universities. Lysenkoism won’t end well, but it’ll do great in feeding red meat to the most ignorant people in the U.S. until midterms are over.

Abortion bans. Voter suppression. Corporate capture. Legal immunity for Trump. These aren't glitches — they’re part of the same MAGA playbook. And the Supreme Court is helping write it.
