Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Making fun of our neighborhoods and communities is disgusting.

Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

donald trump is so hopelessly absorbed in white supremacist brainwashing that he told the Chancellor of Germany straight to his face that the worst thing that ever happened to Germany was losing WW2.
Let that sink in.

Yesterday a lady messaged me to say, “Jack, I wish I had your seeming ability to press on, no matter what.”
My reply?
If you had mine, would you still continue to ignore your own ability to do the same?
She thought we were born “different.” Wrong. I had simply recognized something she hadn’t…yet.

It’s amazing and horrifying that many are reporting that T***p “demands” States undo their aid for SNAP.
I know it doesn’t feel like we still live in a free country but the president doesn’t get to demand anything. Don’t needlessly play into his autocratic vibe.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.
