I don't know how long my power is going to last,

I'm immensely grateful to Newsweek for letting me write about this important topic & I'll try to promote it more tomorrow
"The whole thing is kabuki theater," says Richard Ausness, a KY renowned opioid litigation expert.

The actual bearing on the case is minimal. "It ought to be about money"

"About who pays what. & instead, they want to make the Sacklers listen to people complain about them."

Record Numbers of Americans Dying of Overdoses. Instead of Justice, We Get Theater👨‍⚖️

"Whole thing is kabuki theater, It ought to be about money" said Ausness. "About who pays what & instead they want to make Sacklers listen to people complain about them"

Guggenheim joined several other museums last week w/an announcement they are removing the Sackler nameplate from their arts center,

Once again victims are being offered busy work as though it were meaningful reform.

We are in the midst of the opioid crisis, an addiction & overdose crisis fed by the ubiquity of illicit & deadly fentanyl in the black market,

over 108k people died from an opioid overdose in 2021,

wut is @rickriordan thinking??

"Saying 'I am not racist!' is simply declaring that you deny your own biases and refuse to work on them."🤦

assuming fans are racist cuz they don't like a casting choice is insane, who is giving this guy PR advice??

@rickriordan Rick, relax,

It's the internet, there are always some that hate ur thing, U don't need to go nuclear on them,

calling ur loyal audience as hateful bigots is an awful way to start a show

It is doubly painful cuz I know how hard @rickriordan worked to land a faithful adaptation of his books,

to watch him stab himself in the back over the dumbest of reasons is too much pain for me to bear watching

i get why some people feel differently

there's a scene early in the 2nd act of the film where Chavez claims that most universes give free food,

some people use this as evidence of wokery,
what they're missing is Raimi excoriiates her social justice claim,

immediately after its shown she's wrong & making assertions based on her short lived experience

a rebuttal on wokeness, not a confirmation
effectively showing her naivety

That's how Dr Strange 2 operates,

whether its the cameo characters, or Dr Strange or Wanda,

characters make claims & Raimi shows how these characters are wrong in their ideas & philosophy

Not a confirmation of them,
this isn't woke, this is Anti-Woke

you guys are going to hate me for this
My latest review for the @FDRLST 🥳

Sam Raimi’s ‘Doctor Strange 2’ Is An Anti-Woke Masterstroke🤯

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the best MCU film since ‘Endgame.’🪄🧙‍♂️
thefederalist.com/2022/05/10/sam… #mcu #doctorstrange #drstrange #DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is the latest entry in the MCU & a direct sequel to the 2016 original.

However, Strange 2 is its own thing continuing the themes from the Disney Plus shows “WandaVision” and “What-If.”

I like Freddie but I think he is partially wrong,

lumping in autism & ADHD with bipolarism & borderline personality disorder is like trying to lump in cancer with a cold,

these are extremely different disorders & we shouldn't lump them in as all one big thing
I don't have a problem with people with ADHD & Autism find help in online communities, these are people who often suffer not being able to fit in or meet other people like them,

these communities can often be a source of advice & strength & do a lot of good
the problem is when a serious mental illness like Multiple Personality Disorder do get treated as just another quirk,

then these communities can be dangerous & people can learn very damaging things & put themselves & their loved ones in danger

Ta-Da!🥳
Here is my weekly @townhallcom Column ✍️

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was Right: Roe v. Wade was always destined for the Scrap Heap🗑️
townhall.com/columnists/pet… @benshapiro @AbbyJohnson @madelineorr #conservative #elonmusk #abortion #prochoice #roe #RoeVWade #RoeOverturned
May be hard for my friends on the left to hear this,

our whole lives we've been told how important Roe v Wade was in giving women the right to abortion via a right to privacy

But this was fiction, the only question for Roe v. Wade was when it would be overturned, not if.
whatever ur opinion on abortion,

Roe v Wade was objectively bad law built upon the weakest case constitutionally

As RBG predicted,
Roe was always eventually going to be overturned
