I may not have ended up where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be. #labking #roadtraveler #genx
Exactly. The presidency was meant to uphold the law, not place anyone above it. When accountability disappears at the top, the rule of law itself is at risk.

That’s the tragedy. The damage isn’t just political, it’s reputational and moral. Trust once lost is hard to restore, and the world has seen America willing to bend its own principles. Repairing that harm will take generations, not slogans.

Exactly. Service members volunteer to defend the Constitution and the country, not to shield powerful individuals from accountability. My son is a Marine, and like all who serve, he deserves leaders who honor their sacrifice with integrity and respect for the rule of law.

Division is a distraction tactic. While we’re fighting each other, a handful at the top consolidate wealth and power. Solidarity and accountability are the real threats to oligarchy. don’t let them pit us against one another.

It’s devastating that survivors of school shootings are carrying that trauma into college. No student should ever live through this. Gun violence in this country is a moral failure, and continued inaction keeps stealing young people’s safety and peace.

That’s what accountability looks like. When institutions stop appeasing power and start defending principles, democracy actually works. Courage is contagious; others should be paying attention.

Literacy researchers have warned for years that replacing full books with excerpts and test prep weakens comprehension, reading stamina, and critical thinking. Reading entire books isn’t nostalgia, it’s essential to academic success and informed citizenship.

If this were anyone else, we’d be talking about fitness for office, not indulging the fantasy. Claiming countries want you to “lead Europe” isn’t strength, it’s delusion, and it shouldn’t be normalized.

Exactly. Economies grow from the middle out and the bottom up; not by hoping wealth trickles down. Invest in people, public goods, and opportunity, and the whole economy gets stronger.

“Roaring ’50s” indeed: before vaccines saved millions of lives. Measles isn’t nostalgia; it’s a public-health failure. Anti-science politics don’t make us healthier, just sicker.

No leader can claim to protect the country while placing himself above its laws. Accountability isn’t optional in a democracy; it’s the foundation of legitimate leadership.

Absolutely. Trump’s open contempt for women, especially women in the press, has gone unchecked for far too long. When reporters stay silent in those moments, it sends the message that his misogyny is acceptable. They should be calling it out in real time, every time.

He says it like it’s some organic trend, not something his own policies helped push by undermining public education. It’s a little too convenient to celebrate the outcome after contributing to the problem.

They smeared teachers to manufacture outrage, then quietly stepped into the role themselves. The ‘indoctrination’ claim was never about protecting kids; it was always about controlling the narrative.

At this point, it’s pretty clear he lashes out because strong, informed women expose his deepest insecurities. The press should hold him accountable every time he tries to hide behind bluster.

Honestly, watching that crowd “discover” libertarianism is like watching people skim a Wikipedia page and declare themselves experts. It’s not learning, it’s performance.

If we forget that “isolation” doesn’t inoculate us, that it historically invited catastrophe, then we risk repeating the same mistakes.

Exactly. A decade of shouting about Obamacare, and Republicans still can’t produce a workable replacement. If you can’t offer a better plan, maybe stop attacking the one that actually expanded coverage and saved lives.
