Stubborn, opinionated and sometimes far more full of myself than anyone rightfully should be but in the quiet moments I do reflect on things that have been said, I doubt myself a lot and prone to self hate for my deficiencies while trying to grow. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ค๐ค๐ต๐ธโฎ๏ธ๐บ๐ฆโ๏ธ

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nye: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is
wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants. No thrones, no crowns, no king
The thing about No Kings the GOP doesn't seem to get isn't that we hate you as much as it is that we recognize you for what you are.
You're a threat. You're a threat to our lives, our livelihoods, our families, our friends.
We WILL drive you out of power. You haven't given us any other choice.

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today.
You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.
Iโm going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.
I think itโs going to be awhile before the machines take over.๐
