"Everything changed on November 5th, but by the looks of it, very little has changed in the Democratic Party.

This country will never be the same, and the sooner we come to grips with that, and start acting accordingly the better."

Signal released an important security update:

being able to clown those who think they are our betters is a Black birthright and I will never, ever stop 😂 we can do multiple things at work

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

This is what I currently see happening socially/politically in the U.S.

"A similar principle applies to social processes. [...] the system remains stable for a long time until a seemingly minor event triggers a chain reaction, leading to a sudden transformation."

"When discussing the 'Everyone is welcome here' sign, the district told the Statesman that it was not the message that was at issue, but rather the hands of different skin tones on the poster."

"Many of Trump’s early executive actions have gestured at his movement’s desired return not to a version of the Third Reich, but to an earlier version of America, one before the civil rights movement, the gay liberation movement, the women’s liberation movement and even the civil war."

Man, I'd love it if all 2 million (or even 50%-75% of them) took this offer...

To my mind, the fight here isn't really about birthright citizenship. The point of this executive order is to see if the Supreme Court will actually hold the Constitution as a limit on Trump's power. If they don't.... I guess that's the end of this grand experiment in democracy.

Best summary of the coming years ever: "[...] discontent may not amount to much now that Trump is taking office again, 𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝."
