“Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
That ain’t got the faith to stand its ground

Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted.”

elon musk: "I am literally hitler"

the new york times: "elon musk experimented with a new tone on thursday. some critics fear authoritarianism."

"There were over 10k-20k [Black people] that lived in London during the time of Jane Austen. The number has been estimated to be as high as 30k across England, Scotland, & Ireland. With less than 28 dukes during that time period, who were you more likely to run into, a duke, or a person of color?"

If only we could all be so positive about ourselves! ❤️

This statement was made about Braidwood versus Becerra (google it), but it seems to apply to every domain of American life. As a woman and as the parent of a disabled child, this pretty much sums it up. Unfortunately.
