WTF???

If people normalize this lawbreaking instead of pushing back, it will be very hard ever to restore the system of government that most of us grew up assuming it would be in place. Trump’s disregard for US constitution ‘a blitzkrieg on the law’, legal experts say

So when all ya’ll keep going on about #bandaid it’s cringey+racist but….it raised so much money 🙄 This is for you, my friends of the business case.

We used to have a division of labour - we do value, you do wealth sort of thing (reminds me of a Soul Coughing song …) Then we put our heads together. We struggled to agree on things but eventually did - so you should read this stuff (-;
