I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

Car culture in America aligns with the US sense of freedom. Freedom to get in your car at any moment to get away - or head ‘home’ wherever that may be - on your own timeline with your own amount of rest stops and time to dilly-dally on those stops, etc.

Trains are for planned trips where you always make the right turn at the right time to get to the right spot - and there’s nothing wrong with that - but life is worth living when you make a left turn now and again.

But, why not both? I don’t think the plan is to get rid of autos, but give options, and get some or lots of semis off the roads. They do the most damage.

Of course both!… not cars at the expense of trains anymore then trains at the expense of cars… but face it; Cars are freedom - every teen or 20-something (these days) knows the feeling of freedom getting your first car. Do other kids in other ‘modern/urban’ cities and/or countries get that same experience?… very unique to first world countries. In third world countries, getting a car for oneself might be akin to being a lottery winner in terms of personal freedom and career possibilities.

Cars are about freedom = The US is about Freedom… it makes sense this is where we are.
