I refused a crown because America was meant to be an example, not an empire. A republic that hungers for territory over principle betrays its own cause.

I refused a crown so that no American would kneel to a person rather than the Constitution. A republic cannot endure a cult of personality. The law must be sovereign.

Cycling Solidarity is a group of cyclists in Chicago that goes out daily to buy all the food from street vendors. This effort allows the vendors to finish their shifts early, enabling them to return home safely to their families.

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

America wasn’t just born out of rebellion. It was born from ideas—from the Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, and classical Greece & Rome. 🏛️🧠
But we’ve strayed far from those roots. Let’s talk about it 🧵👇

I do not aim to inflame nor to flatter. I am here to observe the state of our union and speak plainly, as a citizen among citizens.
If I should offend, let it be with reason; if I inspire, let it be toward virtue.
Now then—what, pray tell, is a “meme stock”?

Due Process isn’t about whether he’s innocent or guilty. It’s about whether we still believe in justice and fairness.
My own fate, if ever accused, rests on what we defend today, not just for him, but for the idea that justice must outlive our fears.

Great thread here from @greene.haus - start with the opening post and peel back the onion with his subsequent posts… #civicvirtue #America2025
Columbia’s cave-in, Cuomo’s polling, the top-to-bottom corruption of Adams’ mayoralty: a good post earlier talked about the collapse of civic virtue in the U.S., but it’s worth suggesting that there’s something lacking regarding civic virtue and civil society in New York _specifically_.
Columbia fumbled the ball big time.
Cowardice gets you nowhere.
