in the place of yes to the world,

Do you know what's really awesome? All we have to do is NOT GIVE UP.

Keep calling. Keep speaking. Keep writing. Go to town halls and protests. Keep encouraging each other. Keep demanding change. Keep financially supporting civil rights organizations and media outlets that do not bend, if you can.

#MAGA exists on repeated lies, we can kill the movement by repeating truth.

Be relentless.
