without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

No one except Trump wants this war—so I’m going to use every tool I have to stop him.

His breadth and depth were astonishing, his curiosity insatiable. He wrote puzzle boxes and circuses, historical epics and maps of the heart, and he never stopped changing.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.
