How do you tell a group of teenagers that this won't be the last time a President stands behind a lectern and tries to sell them a war
Or that this wasn't the first time that you've heard this same sales pitch

If war was ever a justifiable course of action, they wouldn’t have to lie every time they start a new one.

“I watched it like… a television show… the speed, the violence— it was an amazing thing.” -The President of the United States, on committing a war crime
It is always the same story. The warmongers will tell you that there was no other choice, that this war will bring peace, that everybody killed was bad and everybody good is safe at home. The answer is and has always been no. No to this war. No to all wars.

A man prays during Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration.
He and his friends flew in from Michigan to attend the inauguration, says it’s an important moment for American Muslims, and that he feels safe praying in NYC in a way he doesn’t in other places.

“ICE or migra watch is a practice that grew out of the community defense strategies developed by the Black Panthers in the late 1960s, which inspired cop-watching across the country. It is most visible on the streets, where pairs or teams document law enforcement in their own neighborhoods.”
Inside Chicago’s Neighborhood ICE Resistance
Residents have organized a formidable network to protect immigrant communities from Trump’s brutal deportation program. Their efforts are making a genuine difference.

Thanks all for literal weeks of takes, but I think we can power down the Olivia Nuzzi discourse factory now. You’re all correct! I just don’t think there’s anything more to say!

I understand why so many folks feel that politics and social change is unwieldy and beyond their scope of influence (we're made to feel that way!) but you can just do this! And when do, you'll find others who want to do it with you!
I would like to share something.
A year ago, Trump won and I was furious and scared so I sent a text to a few of local women I knew and asked them to join me at a meeting and invite like-minded women they knew. A few showed up, then a few more. We became a group called The Salon and we meet monthly
