Saw someone say, "It's hard to pick a villain, so many things are going wrong."
It's not hard.
45 is the villain.
Everyone supporting his agenda is the villain.
Just because one person is bad doesn't mean everyone else is innocent.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

It's hard to keep going when all you're facing are setbacks and roadblocks. Sometimes, the slow way is the only way
But slow and hard isnt impossible! Remember that ANY progress is still progress! Don't give up!

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

A writer's 'voice' can be influenced by many things: media consumption, style, genre, target audience, etc.
Under all the layers of influence, can you find what's still YOU at the end? How much of your voice have you sacrificed in favor of someone else's?

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
