People who say “I choose not to engage in politics, it’s so negative, I can only control what’s in my life” need to realize life is politics. Every step of your life. And not paying attention feels appealing to you by design. It’s not a result of your free will.

MAGAs are labeling DEI as "Didn't Earn It," which is wild because in reality, generating historic wealth through 2 billion acres of stolen land from Native Americans, enslaving Black people for 300 years, banning Asian immigration until 1965, & banning women from financial access til 1974 — all without paying a single red cent in reparations or restitution — is the living breathing example not earning it.
I’m sorry WHAT. Imagine getting shot IN THE OPERATING ROOM. WHILE OPERATING. how is this a reality that we’ve allowed to persist for over 120 days. I’m lost for words.
