Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

If there was one thing I think could get Jon Stewart officially involved in politics it might be this. What a colossal fuckup.

Stewart should have run when he was younger.

He's 62. It's a shame that I hear that and think "only" 62, but compared to the recent couple options we've had, he's a spring chicken.

62 isn't even that old. Average life expectancy for American men is ≈76, and that's including our terrible lifestyles and eating habits.

If he got elected in 2028, he'd be 66, and even if he served two consecutive terms, he'd be 74 by the end—several years younger than Biden or Trump when they each started, and still younger than even the average life expectancy.

US males that are 62 have an average life expectancy of 82.
