Fear should be a motivator not a reason to hide quivering. While millions quiver, Democracy dies. #StandUp #ProudProgressive

That's sickening.

Over pricey iced coffees and fat, artisanal sandwiches, fashionably dressed clusters of largely white people chatted about their latest cultural projects. The fact that Trump and his supporters would probably hate the whole scene, or that something approaching martial law had been imposed just up the road, did not appear to be affecting these ambitious millennials. In the US, as in other countries that are becoming or have become authoritarian, for those spared by the state, careers, social lives, leisure and consumerism carry on - and sometimes with a new intensity, as a form of escape..."

The nerve of liberals—wanting clean air, healthcare, and not dying in a grocery store. Truly outrageous stuff. Proud to be one of those damn radicals. #DamnLiberals #CommonSenseCriminals #CleanAirCrew #ProudProgressive #LiberalAF #SorryNotSorry

So happy to be one of the intelligent types moving away from that cesspit of a site that promotes fascism and flagrant disinformation, owned by that creepy weirdo who shall not be named.

Let's make progress! 💪🏻
