Drugs do not cause misogynistic white supremacy.

Mental illness does not cause misogynistic white supremacy.

"Class anxiety" does not cause misogynistic white supremacy.

People choose hate. That's all.

Don't offer them excuses, and don't stigmatize others' struggles.

Donald #Trump and #GeorgeSantos are symptoms of a diseased Republican party that has become a safe haven for clowns, crooks, charlatans, and conspiratorial crackpots.

I mean, it’s a drag, and we’re all busy, but there’s going to need to be some kind of revolution.

Hey.. Covid isn't over.
It's actually worse than the first few waves. That's our baseline now.
You have a 1 in 10 chance of becoming disabled after infection.
You can get sick up to 5 times a year.
You will never have immunity.
You are typically infectious for 12 days.
Deaths are being under reported by up to %60.
Why aren't you wearing a mask?

Don't let corrupt politicians steal your health away.

If you ever wonder what kind of knee-jerk stupidity we're up against, just remember 41% of Trump supporters polled said they were in favor of bombing Agrabah.

That's the fictional country from Aladdin.
