Spent the day taking part in the best America has to offer.

When we love our country, and when we fight for it, the American experiment will outlast anything thrown at it.
Our nation; our system; and most importantly, our IDEALS are worth every moment of struggle.

This wasn't the first cancellation, and it certainly won't be the last.

Giving up is NOT an option, though. Letting this become normalised is how all regimes manage to encroach on free speech.

Stay united & strong. Disharmony in the face of encroachment means the certain death of America's ideals.

I spent the night trying to think about how best to comment on Kimmel's show being cancelled.

My feelings, however, are the same as they were initially: he was ousted because (much like Colbert) the President wanted him out, and we can't trust this admin to be honest.

If that means praying, pray;
If that means offering condolences, offer them.

Whatever it means to you, do something kind. Something thoughtful. Responding with hate only makes it resonate more.

Been too caught up in life to post regularly, but making myself take time to say that no matter your beliefs, political violence has no rightful place in America - not now, not ever.

It doesn't matter what you think of Charlie Kirk. Wish him, his family, and his friends well right now.

Happy 105th to the 19th Amendment, by the way!

Liberty and justice for ALL.

A cacophony like this is impossible for just one person - or group - to oppose. We have to take a stand together and rely on each others' expertise to tackle ALL OF IT. We have to. The moment we let anything slip through, tyranny's grip grows tighter.

It's easy to miss things, or to not pay them mind, amidst the swarm of acts and E.O.'s.

Don't. Overwhelming you is the point.

Isn't it weird how so little of mainstream media - it's been days - has spoken up about how export taxes are unconstitutional?

Sooo... if Harris isn't running for governor... anyone up for 2028?

Wondering how bombing Iran (again) would help the United States. Or Iran.

Terror begets terror!

Today marks 1 year since Kamala Harris took the mantle from Joe Biden.

Today marks 1 year since we saw a glimpse of what America COULD be.

In just 107 days, she showed us that harmony among people from vastly different backgrounds is possible - and effective.

We should learn from her example.

A bit personal, but WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS???
"Oh our state's slowly sinking into the Gulf - literally - and we think that's fine"

It's not, though? The money isn't even coming from taxpayers! Not only that, but the money isn't even able to be spent on anything else! We're saving nothing!

Y'know, it's great hearing all these Senators say we should stand as one to support the victims in Texas.

...I just wish we could hear that more often. Natural disasters are NEVER a time for, to quote a certain someone, "partisan finger-pointing and attacks."

Oh, and before the hour ticks over - Happy(?) Independence Day, America!
249 years of a republic... if we can keep it.

Aaaaassuming this is on, and working... hi! Hello! This is the (very informal, clearly) account I'll be using to stay on top of things when I'm not writing over on Substack!

Hopefully having these character limits will help me actually get some words out lol

...how does this place work?
Is this thing even on?
