We need educated, smart citizens

If you're having trouble focusing on school right now with everything going on, remember that learning and studying is resistance. They wouldn't be constantly attacking higher education, slandering the liberal arts, and trying to gut K12 if it weren't. An uneducated population is easier to control. People with the ability to think critically, do *actual* research, and effectively communicate their ideas are dangerous to a regime that wants control, compliance, division, and fear. People who have studied history, politics, literature, and philosophy are harder to trick with propaganda. People who have studied the sciences are harder to fool with technical-sounding buzzwords and misleading statistics.

I don't know how we're going to get out of this, but I have faith that we can, and I know that the way out is going to need every ounce of our collective skills and knowledge. Keep studying, keep learning, keep hoping, keep loving.
