📌The only thing we know for sure is that the new pope will be a man, because first and foremost it's ALWAYS about empathizing power over women. (This odious patriarchal thinking is also a large part why the United States has never had a woman as its president, and why we are in this terrible mess.)

Trump’s EO targeting the Smithsonian Institution and directing the removal of “improper ideology” is an alarm bell that we cannot afford to ignore. History shows us that this type of censorship is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes determined to control public thought and rewrite reality.

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history. Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

Understanding the scale is vital, but equally important is fostering critical thinking. No matter how vast the disinformation network, its power diminishes when individuals actively question narratives, verify sources, and resist emotional manipulation. Awareness is the first defense.
