What's sad is that things HAVE changed and are much worse. Ten years ago we hadn't yet had a "president" who tried to overturn a free and fair election, and who wanted to get rid of democracy. We weren't trying to figure out how to live under a theocratic, reactionary SCOTUS. Women weren't prohibited from getting health-saving care when a major pregnancy complication arose, or from having control over their own body. And the climate catastrophe wasn't about 5 years away. If you want your kid to have a decent future, and if you don't want to look back from 2034 and think, "Why didn't I act???!?" then do everything you can to help get out the vote this November. Join Postcards to Voters. Donate to Dem senate candidates in crucial state such as NC and AZ. Call your local Dem chapter and ask them how you can help. Join MoveOn and Indivisible and ask how you can help. And ask everyone you know to do all of the above.

Look at that young pup

Oliver’s Texan accent is amazing and needs to be brought back more often 😂

It's not just John's looks that aged about 30 years, his cadence sounds a lot more fluid and unrestrained in this clip.

Yeah this is definitely an upload that shows the actual stress effect on a human being constantly being exposed to this level of tragic truth. He looks worlds away now from then and the subject matter of overall world health is the ultimate contributor

Damn. The deeply needed truth-telling that John provides looks like it ages a person as much as the presidency.
