This is a beginner typing mistake in Python: Setting the type of function arguments to `list` when all you need is to be able to iterate over that value. That's bad because it prevents you from using tuples, or generators, or other iterables. Instead, use `Iterable`.

People with empathy are deeply impacted by harm being done to real people. We feel it in our gut-- our very souls. To feel this strongly puts a heavier requirement on us to create justice. It's called moral responsibility. Trump has called activists expressing moral responsibility terrorists.

It's clear that a significant portion of Americans were tricked into thinking that they knew better than the experts or that the experts couldn't be trusted. So instead of figuring things out through logic or sound reasoning, we are resorting to learning things the hard way, by trial and error.

The Project 2025 architect was just confirmed to lead the WH budget office. Complaining does nothing. If you hate what is going on, then do more. Calling your reps is a start, but go to your town, county, or state democratic meetings. Step up to run for office. Everything else is just lip service.

With everything that is going on, it is not enough to yell through your keyboard. People have to step up and do something. It doesn't have to be perfect. For example, the DNC has some shady parts to it, and that must change if it is meant to represent the working class.
