    You have no idea who I am or what I do. So don’t just assume whatever garbage you consume defines everyone in America.

    The whole concept of America is based on immigration and diversity. That’s what makes it what it is. Many of us have generations of rebellion in our veins from Vietnam and everything that led to the civil rights act. The labor unions paving the way for workers rights, and even the No Kings Protests of today, the largest peaceful protest time and again in our history. That’s democracy in action. That’s how we change things. By deciding as a people, united, by standing up to the powers that be and telling them how it is going to be.

    Every big step forward in our history came from social turmoil and political changes. That’s just part of how things evolve.
