We're capturing children off the street at gunpoint to get one last ride of garish nostalgia for an America that never was. A future dramatically better is available at the end of this, and the choice will be stark for anyone with a brain, but we've gotta be loud and uncompromising in the meantime.

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

I stopped giving money to Dem candidates after Fetterman sold my personal info across who knows how many dark, blue, and red webs and I implore my fellow liberals to stop giving politicians more money and to start donating whatever you’ve got - money, food - to people in your immediate communities
