Despite everything, I remain hopeful.
I still believe we can build a better system—one that topples the elites who strangle our government. A politics of the working class, by the working class, for the working class. A new future is still possible.

My optimism about our ability to save our democracy comes from my experience. No matter how broken or bruised our democracy is today, I have seen it work and I know it can work again. I have seen the power of collective action. I know it can save us now.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.
But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.
Courage is contagious.

I'm so tired of everything... I've got nothing left to keep going for and I'm just ready for it to be over. Just go to sleep and not wake up. 😮💨

Because fact checking done by scientists is the ONLY thing trying to stop the threat the wellness industry & influencer pseudoscience poses to all of us.
The media has failed. Social media platforms have failed. Our culture has failed. People reject expertise at every turn.
So why bother?

I don’t have anything particularly profound to say, but I want there to be people in my mentions talking about hope, how we are each other’s hope, how we have no choice but to hold on to each other, to love each other, to breathe in and out for each other, because we

I know everyone reading this is probably having a tough time right now. It’s truly a horrible day for America. But you’re not alone. We’ve built a massive grassroots coalition of folks here who feel just like you do—and we’ve got your back.
You Are Not Alone. We've Got Your Back.
Onward.
