Love will keep us together. Love for each other will see us through.
They cannot comprehend love, so they are helpless to break us apart.
They will be left out and left behind.
Because they hate even themselves.

Max Planck submitted work on blackbody radiation to the German Physical Society #OTD in 1900.
His novel “quantum hypothesis” suggested that matter emits and absorbs light with frequency f only in discrete chunks of energy E=hf. 🧪 ⚛️ (1/n)

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.
