it's just so funny, an entire generation was like "we must raise our children towards a fairer, kinder world" and as soon as their kids got old enough to actually try to build that fairer kinder world they acted like it was some huge mystery why all the young people weren't bloodthirsty war boosters

In the end all we are is a collection of choices. Choose not to fund JKR's campaign of hate.
"The research suggests that generalizations about human behavior are often flawed because they rely on samples composed largely of White individuals."
the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.
they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.
for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

A screenshot from a Feb. 2 article in the Annandale Today about the VA District 39 special election, which reads: “Virginians deserve to live in communities where masked, armed, and unaccountable immigration agents cannot simply murder or snatch them away,” Bennett-Parker said. “I want to live in a Virginia where families are not ripped apart because of immigration status and where the government does not use fear as a weapon.” She vowed to fight for a commonwealth “that protects due process, respects human dignity, and recognizes that immigrants make our community stronger.” Related story: Bennett-Parker wins Democratic firehouse primary “Since we’re talking about the 39th district,” Lineberry countered, “what Minneapolis violence and what Minneapolis horrors have you seen happening in Virginia?” As a substitute teacher in the Alexandria school system, she isn’t seeing children who are afraid. “The fear is coming from adults who are telling them they should be afraid.” What they need, she said, is expanded instruction on English as a second language. “Immigrants are very smart,” and many are U.S. citizens, Lineberry said. “We don’t have to turn every person of brown or yellow skin into a low-paid, ignorant person.”
Even if you're not a "vote in every election" completionist like my nerd self, please consider whether you want someone like Bennett-Parker's opponent representing you in Richmond (source: annandaletoday.com/virginia-sen...).

A museum placquard about Roni Raccoon, the mascot of the Lake Placid Winter Olympics. In the bottom-left corner of the placquard, there is a black and white photo of a person wearing a Roni Racooon mascot costume ice skating while holding a hockey stick. The caption on the bottom right explains that Roni was created by the sports artist and graphic designer Donald Moss.
