"Your aspiration isn't nothing. It's the flame that keeps the cause you care about burning and the possibility for change alive. Always keep your aspiration lit within you." - Pema Sherpa & Brendan Barca, The Daily Buddhist: 366 Days of Wisdom for Happiness, Inner Freedom, and Mindful Living - A Self-Help Guide to Buddhist Philosophy and Meditation
"What DOGE sought to automate, media researcher Eryk Salvaggio noted, was 'not paperwork but democratic decision-making.'" - Quinn Slobodian & Ben Tarnoff, Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed
"[W]e need investigations, hearings, prosecutions, and likely some kind of truth and reconciliation commission. We need a full postmortem of our brush with national death, as well as prison sentences and severe financial penalties for those who participated in, or profited from, the defiling of our government." - Gil Durán, The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy
