One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

NASA is something every American can be and should be proud of. And for every dollar spent on it, it returns more on that investment to the economy. Example: Their 2023 budget was $25B, and they added over $75B to the economy that year. This is a horrible decision.

Do you feel it? Do you feel the momentum shift? The will of the people is strong. And we all know the only way out is through & the only way through, is together. Resist. Persist. Standup. Speak out. Fight. We can do this. We WILL do this. We ARE doing it. And we will not stop.

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

a lot of definitions for evil, but I think a prevailing one should be when you’re granted power to do an endless amount of good in the world and choose to do quite literally the exact opposite.

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" What has made us great.
