So happy that I got a whiff
Of this groovy gorilla-shaped riff
Been down in the dumps
Living through daily trumps
Now I don’t need to jump off a cliff

So a reminder:

It’s not β€˜liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not β€˜liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not β€˜liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

The US actually led the way for fascism. The Germans found the β€œone drop” rule too extreme.

It is going to be very cozy there. Might need to expand.

β€œThere is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.”

-Madeleine Albright, in 2006 peering into our present and seeing Nancy Mace, MTG, Amy Coney-Barrett, etc etc etc.

β€˜Nearly’ was doing the heavy lifting there. The trouble is that the more of us are so fractured. What would align us?

Imagine the outrage if this headline was

β€œMassachusetts Education Board to Vote on Koran-Infused Lessons in Public Schools”

There’s a reason we need separation of church and state.

If you want religious education for YOUR kids, go for it. Don’t force-feed it to mine.

Did nearly half this country choose to outsource racism and xenophobia to the professionals, figuring it is less hassle to just let an institution handle those confusing questions instead?

Why are we surprised when people pick the easiest choice? You will fix the bad stuff? Awesome, back to funniest home videos. How do you think the first religious leaders started getting the cushiest spot in the cave? Easy answers to nuanced questions. I think we have always liked that.
