Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.
@assassinscreed Listen. Whoever came up with it is an evil genius. Because I read this and actually SQUEALED with excitement.
Bare with me while I briefly PASS OUT. AC AND CR. IT'S SO OBVIOUS. BEAUTIFUL.

While Trump “floods the zone,” we must stay focused.
NO to oligarchy, tax breaks for the rich and cuts to working class programs. NO to authoritarianism and unlimited power for one man.
YES to growing the union movement and raising wages. YES to health care as a human right.
My dear friend Robyn needs to replace all of her child's belongings and is asking for help. She's a fantastic photographer (including some incredible shots for Critical Role!) and person. Support if you can! https://t.co/Wkz1W73dtu
“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it.
I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief.
Nazi isn’t a word that means “bad evil boogeyman” it means “someone who believes in their own racial superiority, extreme protectionist nativism, the purifying of society by eliminating undesirables, expansionism, active suppression of dissent, and total state power held in the hands of a very small group.”
Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…
@SophiiRPG I absolutely lost it when I saw the new trailer, can't wait for the game, and might just make the new Ciri into my personal challenge cosplay!! (Please wish me luck I've never done a cosplay this complex before😭)
