[THREAD 🧵] I was just 9 years old when Donald Trump was elected President.
Now 17, Jan 6th made clear to my peers & I just how fragile our democracy is — and we are engaging, mobilizing, and fighting to protect it like no other generation before us.

JON OSSOFF: "Our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas. Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional."
THIS is what leadership looks like.
CONAN O’BRIEN AT HARVARD: “No university in our nation has produced more Nobel laureates or white collar criminals…so whether you choose to be good or evil, know that you are among the very best.”
JAMES TALARICO: "Our southern border should be like our front porch -- there should be a welcome mat and a lock on the door. We can both welcome immigrants who want to live the American Dream AND keep out people who mean to do us harm."
"Do you know why it’s okay to disagree every single day with your fellow American and still love each other anyway in this country? Because before we were born, an American soldier didn’t think twice about laying their lives down for us to have the right to disagree, still be free, & love each other anyway."

@TheWelcomeTeam
WATCH: 98-year-old WWII veteran David Yoho deliver an emotional message to younger generations at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Standing in the rain, Yoho urged young people to remember the sacrifices made by veterans and to keep telling their stories long after they’re gone.
“We gave up our yesterdays for your tomorrows. Tell them it was a 16-year-old boy in the hearts and mind and body of a 98-year-old veteran of World War II.”
"We are stronger together. Black, White, Latino, Asian, Native American, young, old, gay, straight, men, women -- all pledging allegiance under the same proud flag to this big bold country that we love. That's what I see, that's the America I know."
-- @BarackObama
"The work of making ourselves a more perfect union is never done. We’re meant to keep doing better. We’re meant to keep discussing, to keep debating.”
