Americans aren’t waiting for the Democratic Party to take on Trump

In February, anti-Trump demonstrations took place in all 50 states, part of the of 50501 movement (which stands for 50 protests, 50 states, one day).

On March 15, thousands of people marched in New York City under the banner of public employee unions against the Trump/Musk cuts to public services.

The arrest of pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a green-card-holding Columbia University graduate who played a prominent role in anti-Israel protests last year, has sparked an uproar over whether the Trump administration is violating the 1st Amendment by targeting immigrants for their political beliefs.

And God bless New York Rep. #Alexandria #Ocasio-#Cortez, 35,
and Vermont Sen. #Bernie #Sanders, 83, who are on the road in Western states with their
“Fighting Oligarchy” tour, which has drawn thousands of people to arenas this week in Arizona, Nevada and Colorado.

There’s more.
“Missing member” events, for example, where voters are holding their own town halls because their Republican members of Congress are too afraid to face them.

In some cases, constituents step up to a microphone and pose questions to an empty chair.

In Wisconsin, Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden did not show up at a town hall,
so a Democrat from a nearby district,
Rep. #Mark #Pocan,
came instead and spoke to 300 people next to an empty chair with Van Orden’s name on it.

Hundreds of healthcare workers demonstrated outside the Anaheim Hills office of Republican Rep. #Young #Kim the other day to protest expected cuts to Medicaid, the health safety net for more than 72 million low-income and disabled Americans.

And millions of Americans all over the country may answer the call on Saturday, April 5, for a
“Hands Off” protest organized by Indivisible,
the progressive grassroots group that got its start in 2017 when a handful of congressional staffers put together a handbook about peaceful, effective resistance to right-wing power grabs.

The “Hands Off” motto:
“They’re dismantling our country. They’re looting our government. And they think we’ll just watch.”

California Republicans face weighty vote over House budget resolution

Republicans representing swing congressional districts in California
— including Reps. #David #Valadao (R-Hanford) and #Young #Kim (R-Anaheim Hills)
— must decide whether to support their party’s agenda at whatever cost,
or face potentially disastrous blowback in their home communities for agreeing to cut Medicaid.

In Valadao’s 22nd congressional district in particular, 67% of the population is on Medi-Cal, as Medicaid is known in California
— the highest percentage in the state, according to the UC Berkeley Labor Center.

I am sorry for the upcoming generation of young people. Be strong, we love you.

====================

What Elon is doing with these young "geniuses" is a massive blow to youth voices and authority.

No, it's not because you are young that you are wrong.
No, it's not because you are young that your view is worse or better because it's different.
No, it's not because you are young that people should think less of you.

However,
As you would judge a 8year old differently from a 18year old, there is a lifetime of experience you don't have at 18 than someone else has at 50.

You can have better ideas, be more tech-savy, be more agile in life. But you also lack context, you don't have a family, you likely don't pay bills yet.

It is that same context you need when building anything in life. You can draw the best looking house, but if you don't account for environment around that house you will fail miserably at building a long lasting house.
It might look good, and be cheap, and any other feature you put on a list that is important for you right now. But you have a fog of war, everyone has one, the full picture is larger than what you will ever be able to see.
This is where team work is important. This is where experience is important. Experience isn't acquire over night in a book, it's not enough to have the latest tool, latest algorithm, you need experience.

If you know anything about data science, you will know that numbers can be interpreted in many ways and bias can occur in many many places and be very subtle. Be smart. Be a real genius by first admitting you are not one.

My words to you, stay strong.
We are all in this together for as long as each of us lives and as long as human's exist. Most older people will give you all for you to have a better life.

Learn, live and enjoy life. Most of what life has to offer is amazing. Study what you want, do what you want, build your dreams, be part of an amazing community.

Reject #tyranny.
Reject #oppression.

Look up for smart people, don't look up for "geniuses". Look up for experience rather than ego and big mouths.
