My Privilege Made Me Grieve Losing an America That Never Was I’ve shed many misplaced tears recently.

I haven't been missing America, I've been missing an America I wanted to be, an America I imagined to be—an America that never was.

I listened to him during this part of the speech and it brought me out of a spiral, we as the people have the power and it's time we take it back, I urge the nihilistic among us to take this moment and do the same!

The fact some people legitimately believe billionaires, who make their billions off the backs of the poor, the working class and stoke in fighting so we don't rise up against them, want to improve government or help the working class really takes a special kind of mental gymnastics.

Just a reminder, all the threats coming from the felon and his merry band of fascists in the WH means the protests are working and they are trying to invoke fear. They can't arrest everyone, it's physically impossible and peaceful protest is legal! So keep it up, don't let them scare you!

I did it, even though my senators aren't on the list, is important that every senator knows to vote no. I'm addition to giving away the power of Congress, there's the disturbing language of turning an entire year into a day to stop a vote to end the injustice use of tariffs. It's ridiculous.

He wouldn't have but this isn't a political difference anymore, it's a fundamental attack on US values and it's people which should anger everyone. But our disinformation eco system is so vast people either don't know or live in a completely different reality

I'm still very confused why people are constantly mad at democrats in Congress, I get you want the optics of resistance but the pressure needs to be on republicans, focus your energy there!

It's wild to have a kid learning about the constitution in middle school history while it's being shredded in the modern age

THIS ‼️

I remember a time where 'The US doesn't negotiate with terrorists' was a rallying cry. Now, Felon47 is the terrorist and he expects everyone to negotiate with him. Yes, I'm still thinking about what happened yesterday and I still find President Zelenskky to be a man of incredible courage.

I signed and will be calling every day about yours issue specifically, what an embarrassement, I didn't serve 6 years and a tour in Iraq for a demented man with Putin's hand up his ass to destroy democracy

Just donated! Fuck the felon in office destroying everything the United States has stood up for and died for

Dear world, please do not judge us harshly. Most of us are good-caring people, and we hate him too.

I AM ASHAMED TO BE AMERICAN TODAY. OUR SO CALLED PRESIDENT DISGRACED HIMSELF AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH HIS DISGUSTING AND SHAMEFUL TREATMENT OF A TRUE WARRIOR FOR HIS COUNTRY, UKRAINE. ON BEHALF OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS, WE ARE SO SORRY. OH, AND FUCK LINDSEY GRAHAM!

What just happened in the Oval Office was an embarrassment. We're a fundamentally different country than a few weeks ago and unrecognizable to our allies. For over a century, the United States has stood for Democracy. Today, Donald Trump chose the side of dictators.

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

As a veteran who served during the disastrous "don't ask don't tell" policy; I can say with certainty, nobody cared if someone was trans and wouldn't even know if they were because we couldn't ask. This is straight up prejudice and it won't end with trans people

Actions have consequences, maybe taking a chainsaw to government isn't the way to handle things. Maybe paying ATCs appropriately for their expertise is a better tactic. Or perhaps not getting the head of FAA fired because you're getting investigated and don't like it. Jeez.

I was just telling my boyfriend tonight that this isn't the America I grew up in, it isn't the America I served when I was in the military and it sure as hell isn't the America that can claim to be the leader of the free world. I don't know what America this is, but it isn't one I recognize.

Congrats Canada!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

But TikTok was the national security threat. Right🙄

If Harris had won this past election do you think Russia would be so eager for peace talks? Ukraine is winning the war, Zelensky is right to deny any deal without Ukraine involvement. US is an unreliable ally if Europe can even consider the US an ally at all at this point. I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦

This is the most racist piece of shit I have ever read; pathetic on the Department of Education but the government is just white supremacists now so guess I shouldn't expect differently 🤷‍♀️

Fucking good; honestly Canada has been a country divided like the US in terms of politics and if this unites them to move forward away from their own conservative party than I'm glad. The Canadians are angry and as a country who stupidly voted in the felon, we deserve it.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
