Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Integrity — “Men who never ran out on either the principles in which they believed or the people who believed in them — men whom neither financial gain nor political ambition could ever divert from the fulfillment of our sacred trust.” 100
Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Judgment — “Perceptive judgment of the future as well as the past … with enough wisdom to know that we did not know, and enough candor to admit it.” 100
Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Courage — “The courage to stand up to one's enemies — and the courage to stand up, when necessary, to one's associates — the courage to resist public pressure, as well as private greed.” 100

Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 04/05/2026But that is exactly why we have to keep bringing the conversation back to wages, healthcare, housing, schools, corruption, corporate greed, and who government is actually serving. Democracy is damaged, but it is not dead unless we stop using 010
Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 04/05/2026That means voting in primaries, showing up at local meetings, calling offices, organizing neighbors, supporting candidates who refuse corporate money, demanding public town halls, and replacing officials who do not listen. You are right that they divide us with social issues. 110
Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 04/05/2026A lot of elected officials ignore regular people while serving donors, parties, lobbyists, and their own careers. But I don’t think the answer is to say democracy is gone. I think the answer is to make it harder for them to ignore us. it. 110
Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 04/05/2026If the government wants to search Americans’ communications, it should get a warrant. Protecting democracy also means protecting the Fourth Amendment. The Senate should reject any surveillance bill that does not include real warrant protections 010
Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Section 702 is supposed to target foreign communications, but Americans’ data can get swept up too, and agencies can search that information through “backdoor” queries. 🚩No president, Democrat or Republican, should have unchecked surveillance power. 110
Susan Whitney SMBWhitney @smbwhitney.bsky.social · 04/05/2026WTH‼️ This is exactly why we have to hold both parties accountable. Forty-two House Democrats joined Republicans to renew FISA Section 702 without the privacy reforms many civil-liberties groups demanded. 110
