I was definitely alive for this one but I was just a fat little toddler when the rules for driving without a seatbelt changed too.
People threw a fit over individual freedoms for buckling up in the 80s and the roads are safer now than they were back then.
We can change things for the better.

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.

It’s crazy that people used to be able to just smoke cigarettes wherever they wanted

Painted cycle lanes are the non-smoking sections of today's urban landscape.
Both recognize a problem and the harms it causes, but are designed without the will or imagination required to implement a real solution.

It was a hit job built on lies. DOGE did not cut spending. Federal spending rose. Elon Musk, Russ Vought, Trump, Marco Rubio 🤮, Josh Hawley, Cynthia Lummis sold fraud as reform. These names killed people’s careers, damaged the U.S. reputation, and were responsible for thousands of deaths.

Here’s something so blatantly obvious that it seems stupid to even have to say it out loud.
And yet apparently it’s necessary to say in Trump’s USA.
Filming a legal arrest, let alone the many illegal and anonymous arrests performed by ICE, is NOT DOMESTIC TERRORISM.
Claiming it is, is fascist.

If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism. #holdfast

The Government Unconstitutionally Labels ICE Observers as Domestic Terrorists
A free country must have an absolute wall of protection for those who record government actions.

President Biden fought for student loan borrowers and made it possible to have their debt forgiven.
Meanwhile the MAGA regime says they will start garnishing paychecks from borrowers who are in default aka raiding people’s bank accounts.
They are not the same.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
