I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:
Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread.

This is actively something I don’t think people realize about this election: people forget that the Democratic Party (the vast majority) was actively ignoring their constituents at the same time they were demanding they vote for them.

💯 I’m 70 & a life-long Dem until now. The vitriol directed at those of us who tried to push D leadership during Biden’s term, the refusal to acknowledge US complicity in genocide, not wanting Biden to run again showed me the Party didn’t care what the base wanted. Their rhetoric w/o action is hollow
