Imma need the Democrats to get it together.

Unpopular opinion, but if you were at Trump's Address, watching his old ass lie like a cheap secondhand rug from the flea market, and then didn’t get escorted out because you decided to protest? Then what are you even doing as an elected official? The answer? Not enough. #algreen

It was the excessive standing ovations after every inflated lie that had me yelling at the TV. #algreen

It feels like if the Dems were to boycott and, you know, stand up just like we elected them to do, I would feel like we might still have a chance to come out of this okay. #algreen

Graphic with a cream-colored background featuring intricate mandala designs in soft beige and pink tones. The title reads 'Reliance on Institutions' in bold golden-yellow text. The body text states: 'People have been conditioned to believe that schools, governments, and corporations are responsible for shaping history and culture. But what happens when those institutions are actively erasing our stories? The reality is that institutions have never been the best stewards of truth when it comes to marginalized histories. That’s why oral traditions, community knowledge-sharing, and independent scholarship have always been crucial for Black people.' The footer includes the label 'ADHD Historian' in bold black text

We give too much power to institutions. We need to do better.
