To all in Iran standing for human rights: the world sees your courage.
Liberalism isn't just an American creed; it’s the universal demand for
consent over coercion. True order isn't built by silencing dissent, but
by protecting it. Your agency is the foundation of a free future.

temperament is defiant: we believe the future is unwritten, and we are the ones holding the pen. We do not accept political decay as inevitable.
When liberty and equality rise together, democracy strengthens. When they split apart, power fills the gap. Liberalism’s task is to keep them in balance.

Civil society is where liberalism breathes: neighbors solving problems together without waiting for orders from the state or the market. That’s bottom-up freedom.

Power is only just when it answers to the people. That isn't just a political rule; it's a moral claim. No one is born to rule, and no one is born to serve. That is the promise we inherit and the standard we must uphold. #EqualFreedom

True patriotism isn't blind obedience. It's guardianship. We love our country enough to hold it to its highest standards: liberty, equality, and justice for all. When we defend the rights of the marginalized, we are defending the soul of the nation. #LiberalismIsPatriotism

Liberals are the base of the Democratic Party. It's time to start acting like it. If the Dem establishment doesn't wise up and fall in line, they need to be pushed out of the way.
We can't afford deadweight anymore. Not when jackboot thugs are in our streets killing Americans with impunity.

On the 250th anniversary of Thomas Paine's Common Sense, we've come full circle. It's time to face facts: America is rapidly accelerating towards tyranny, and dragging the entire world order down with it.
The only way we can stop this is if liberals give up hope on feckless centrist "leaders."

Consent of the governed is more than a slogan—it’s a daily practice. Every law, policy, and institution must answer to those it binds. That’s the liberal test of legitimacy.

Cynicism is easy. Building something better is hard. Liberalism chooses the hard path. Don’t just scroll through the decay—organize the renewal. Your agency is the antidote to despair. Believe that we can shape the future, then act like it. #AgencyNotOutrag

Hope is not naïve. It’s strategic. Liberalism works because people believe they can shape their own future—and act like it.

Civic equality is the foundation of personal liberty. Without equal law, freedom becomes privilege. Without freedom, equality becomes control.

Authoritarians promise order by silencing dissent. Liberals build order by protecting dissent. Only one of those approaches keeps a society free.
