Starting my Masters of Public Health at @UF today. I can’t believe how far I’ve come. From leaving undergrad during my first attempt to recently working in Youth Substance Use prevention and starting my next chapter to improve health policy.
Fun fact, liberals also love this country, but conservatives are so stupid that they think criticizing the worst government ever assembled means they hate the country.
Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.
Tariffs suck and make no sense.
Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.
The debt is a mess.
The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.
Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didn’t hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things we’re told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
That’s the joke.
The fact that Thomas Massie is fighting for his political life in a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice is not a good look for the Republican party.
Graham Platner: “Paying union workers a good wage to build our schools and our roads and our energy grids is the best possible way we could spend our money. Certainly better than giving tax breaks to billionaires or blowing up girls’ schools in Iran”
At least 13 dead Americans, 400 wounded, near-record high gas prices, and $50+ billion spent all so that we could be in the same exact position as when this war started.
Let’s be honest about why. People like you in the press went out of your way to scrutinize Biden over every stumble, every protest, every manufactured controversy, while Trump gets treated like normal even as he behaves more recklessly with foreign policy than just about any president in modern history.
You gave nonstop coverage and credibility to the anti-Biden noise and these protests. Now that Trump is out here acting carelessly on a daily basis, that same outrage has vanished. Why? Because too much of the press has been intimidated into silence.
So where are you now? Where is the outrage? Where is the wall-to-wall coverage? Or does accountability only apply when the target is a Democrat?
Biden: Approved and pushed billions in humanitarian aid + pressured Israel to allow aid trucks, airdrops, and temporary ceasefire windows. The U.S. even built a temporary maritime pier to physically deliver aid into Gaza.
Trump: Cut Palestinian aid to ZERO
Biden: Paused or delayed specific munitions like large bombs over concerns about use in dense civilian areas like Rafah.
Trump: NO RESTRICTIONS AND EVEN SPED UP THE SHIPMENTS
Biden: Imposed actual financial sanctions and visa bans on Israeli settlers involved in violence against Palestinians.
Trump: NO SANCTIONS
Biden: Tried to restore the Obama Iran deal that Trump unilaterally ended
Trump: STARTED A WAR WITH IRAN AND IS THREATENING TO WIPE THEIR ENTIRE POPULATION OFF THE MAP
So while you dumb bitches are sitting on the internet with watermelon emojis safe and sound in your home, millions more people are going to die because you wanted to feel morally superior on social media
Genuinely seems Trumps presidency is completely falling apart. Basic government services aren’t getting executed. He’s stuck in a quagmire in the Middle East. Job growth is negative and inflation is accelerating. Gas is 4-5 dollars a gallon. What a mess
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
