A fake billionaire is letting a fake genius destroy America because a bunch of fake patriots are too stupid, too entitled and too hateful to understand the difference between what is fake news and what is fact.

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

Trump's transition is happening over private emails. Federal officials are nervous.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

RBG PAC’s $20M last-minute pro-Trump abortion campaign wasn’t just shady (and completely opposed by RBG’s surviving family members)—it was fully bankrolled by Elon Musk, new campaign finance reports show. Billionaire meddling in our elections must be stopped.
