IN THE AIR
“The open air I sing, freedom, toleration,
My song is there, and I must sing my joys in the open air,
I stifle in the confinement of rooms.
My soul is borne through the fresh, free, open air,
Soothing, sane, open air hours …”
- Walt Whitman

Remaining quiet in turbulent times is a luxury that perceived privilege and intellectual ignorance afford. That passivity is born out of the illusion of safety.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

American universities have given the country prosperity and security. The Trump administration’s attack on academic freedom endangers all of that.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

Democrats protested during Trump's address, raising clear signs reading "Musk steals" and "False" on the reverse side which was shown when Trump told a lie.

Sic semper tyranni
‘thus always to tyrants’ …
“When I despair,
I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time,
they can seem invincible,
but in the end, they always fall.
Think of it—always.”
