Wanting to mourn/needing to resist: "Political grief . . . reflects the feeling that your worldview or political beliefs β€” what we think is right vs. wrong, or morally valid β€” is under attack." An individual "may be mourning potential losses of [their] own rights and economic stability, as well as worried about the impact it might have on reproductive rights and public health."

Collective mourning at this four-year horror show is real, and highly understandable. But we're not helpless

From @npub1v04f...nhug: "Reflections from someone who was with neo-#Nazi billionaire Elon #Musk when he visited Auschwitz after broadcasting and publishing antisemitic remarks & genocidal neo-Nazi propaganda on the website he purchased so that he could suppress speech that he dislikes." (I delete the link that includes replies on Musk's Fascist platform.) There is no "debate" about Musk's Nazi salute nor is there any nuance to the hate that defines him. Ask his beautiful daughter, Vivian. image
The #NIH supports the work done by the #NIA (National Institute of Aging), which runs #ADRCs (Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers). Here is a list of them. Their research is now vulnerable to the malevolence and idiocy of #MAGA. https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/clinical-trials-and-studies/find-alzheimers-disease-research-center This pause -- or freeze or whatever the scions of death are calling it -- on research is quite literally a death knell.

These man-children feel like they're "rebelling," but real rebellion is the oppressed rising ag. the more powerful. These are the richest, most privileged people in society bragging about how much they enjoy bullying people w/lower social status. Sexual harassment isn't storming . . . the Bastille. Mocking disabled people isn't the Harper's Ferry revolt. These are cowards kicking people who can't fight back, b/c they're scared of picking on someone their own size.

MAGA "populism" was always an inch deep β€” Trump's billionaire-palooza proves it
The only thing rich dudebros share with the Republican masses is a longing to use the R-word in public

Righteous column by #JenniferRubin: "Is the Trump administration running a DEI program for incompetent, unqualified, &/or ethically compromised Whites? Considering #Hegseth, election denier AG Pam #Bondi, WWE exec Linda McMahon for secretary of education, # vaccine denier, brain-worm victim #Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for HHS, one must conclude Republicans are not sending us their best. (Or, the more alarming alternative…they are sending their best.)
The Greatest DEI Disaster Ever
Democratic Senators--especially the women--shed a glaring light on a sketchy, uninformed nominee who has no business lording over the Pentagon

"Those of us who actually give a shit about California know that we have had several devastating fires that have nearly destroyed towns, and DEI had nothing to do with it. I know because we did an entire episode of United Shades of America about those fires. (Watch it on MAX.) I didn’t blame the white male fire fighters for not stopping them because, unlike Scott Jennings, I’m not an asshole." the righteous #KamauBell @npub1ywmy...qdga
