#JimmyCarter was one of the best #uspresidents, and human beings, to ever exist.
#Kindness isn't weakness. True kindness is strength.

Hexagonal portrait of Jimmy Carter, with a quote about strength and gentleness attributed to Jimmy Carter.

Transcribed Text:

BEST STOICS

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It’s a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity

Hearing any #USnews one hears pundits, politicians and journalists say things like:

"this is out of step with our principles and traditions" or
"this is against all norms" or
"this is beyond the pale…"

I keep yelling at the radio "OMG did you ever think to write any of this stuff down, you know, as a LAW or anything!?"

As they spiral into autocracy it sounds like their system's entire bulwark against it is simply: "Well, a gentleman would never do such a thing!"

I dont know what to say.
Hyundai is building a 15 billion dollar battery plant in Georgia.

ICE just raided the plants and arrested over 400 people, including executives from LG, who not only make more than half of the TV screens in the US, but automotive batteries.

This is an ongoing racist crisis, and news reports will be covering this for weeks, but at least 30 Koreans were seized.

Hyundai has sent lawyers, Korea is sending Diplomats.

A generation of scientific talent is at the brink of being lost to overseas competitors by the Trump administration’s dismantling of the National Science Foundation (NSF), with unprecedented political interference at the agency jeopardizing the future of US industries and economic growth, according to a Guardian investigation.

You guys, Mamdani was the only Democratic candidate running who categorically opposed mask bans

He was running against an establishment man with name recognition, huge amounts of funding & a history of abandoning the most vulnerable to die of covid

This feels like a huge win for vulnerable people

The Trump regime continues to double down on their eugenicist choices, nominating Casey Means, a wellness influencer, for surgeon general.

I’ve said for a long time that “wellness” is eugenics adjacent.

While there’s nothing wrong with a healthy lifestyle, no amount of green juice, yoga, meditation or sunlight can cure disabilities.

What’s worse, wellness “influencers” almost always blame the chronically ill for not trying hard enough.

Between Means, Prasad, RFK Jr and Dr Oz, things look bleak for those with disabilities (but great for anyone hawking supplements!)
