The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Know this is several days old now, but the message is SO important. Gotta call out Republicans’ BS loudly and repeatedly.
WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

Just sick to my stomach right now.
I think I have faith in the military to maintain (relative) non-partisanship and uphold the Constitution. But WOW this awful administration is trying to corrupt the military with everything they’ve got.

To all my American friends: We Canadians are well aware that there is only one person to blame for the trade war against our country - the Felon In Chief. We will fight because that is what we do, but our anger is not against you. Our bond will endure. 🇨🇦🫶🇺🇸

Inaugural post, here we go. Hoping to focus more on puppies, hikes, and hilariously aging pop culture references in the future, but currently preoccupied with the fact that the new SECDEF is someone our annual training would define as an “insider threat.”

Cool.
