Today, Iโm reflecting on those that came before me. Iโm so very grateful they took the charge to lead the path to freedom, but we still have work to do. None of us are free until all of us are free.

If you want the youth vote, you are going to have to firmly stand against genocide and injustice. Itโs much easier for them to turn towards revolution than the next campaign event. A nation is built on principles and can quickly fall apart without them. Create unity through action.

If the US government requires passports for you to practice your rights such as voting then passports should be provided for free to all and within a reasonable timeframe by said government.

UPDATE:
The House just passed the SAVE Act with a 220-208 vote that included 4 Democrats voting in support of the bill.
This bill effectively codifies one of Trump's executive orders and will disenfranchise tens of millions of American voters.

Today, weโre voting on what Republicans are calling the โSAVE Actโโbut letโs be real, itโs a straight-up voter suppression bill.
They are literally trying to make it harder for millions of Americans to exercise their right to vote.
Iโm voting NOโhell no, actually.

Trump's tariffs will negatively impact almost 300,000 Wisconsin jobsโthe highest percentage of any state.
77% of those affected voted for the person creating this harm.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.
AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.
I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person
I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.
