No Kings Day is almost here.

The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.

But the people won’t bow down. We will rise. Join us at a peaceful protest on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Florida's affordability crisis and culture wars are driving young people away.

According to the FL Chamber: "While Florida saw an influx of residents 60 and older, younger residents, particularly those aged 20-29, are leaving in significant numbers."

Help change that. Join us at davidjolly.com.

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.
