Who cares if he’s autistic?? I only know 2 autistic people. They are the gentlest people I know. They are the least likely to display a Nazi salute, they don’t assume control of governments, and they aren’t involved in cutting off people’s much needed funding. I’m so tired of hearing “Elon" and “autistic" in the same breath. If conservatives really believe the shit he does should be excused because he’s “autistic”, then he isn’t competent FULL STOP

“They basically want to kill me”. Quote from people discussing their american health plans?

Honestly, I don’t think there’s any distraction tactics. Anyone who can’t see what’s happening is blind. It’s full on dictatorship in progress, people.

As a new biography Dutch Girl: Audrey Hepburn and World War II, excerpted exclusively in this week’s PEOPLE, reveals, it was her experiences during Germany’s five-year occupation of Holland during World War II that truly shaped her.

While more has come out in recent years about her war experience, Robert Matzen’s book reveals harrowing new details about how a young Hepburn battled severe malnutrition, particularly during what was known as the “Hunger Winter” of 1944-45.

Leading up to that brutally cold winter, as Germany tightened its grip on Holland, Hepburn and her family were often forced to live in the cellar for days and weeks at a time due to bombing overhead. And food became more and more scarce.

Well, with the way things are going, it won’t be read in the U.S.A. It’ll be banned.

It’s a reference to a Pete Seeger song, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?”.

Agreed. Our grandparents, and for some of us, parents, survived the great depression, WWI and WWII. Elbows up, buckle down, and stay strong together.

Unfortunately, there are many anti-Canadians in Canada. And they always seem to be the loudest and most aggressive, hateful people.

I agree 100%. There’s a whole lot of room for improvement. But I will tell you this: I dislocated and broke my arm because of a bad fall last year. I DID have a long wait in the emergency. But once the x-rays were done and I was seen by a surgeon, surgery was scheduled and performed very quickly. I’m retired and on a fixed income. If I had lived in the USA, I’m sure I would have lost my comfortable little bungalow townhouse.
