Tyranny is here.
Fight fascism.

Only two things matter:
1) voting against every #repugnant in every election
2) ensuring every non-repugnant is registered to vote

I also block every repugnant. No engagement.

This is how democracies flounder.

We should NEVER allow monopolies by corporations like Paramount Skydance to exist in the first place.

By their very nature, they destroy competition, imposing their narrow views on the public.

I really appreciate you sharing this and other posts regarding black history. Growing up in the South East US, I never got the lessons. I'm learning a lot from you and @eddsmitty.bsky.social.

Trump is bringing hard times to the people that voted for him, and while Dems are speaking up about healthcare, this problem goes a whole lot deeper. Listen to Rick Wilson on MSNBC.

Ammar Campa-Najjar has always attracted some of the most powerful and popular members of the Democratic Party.

Because he is committed to serving Americans.

One day I was walking past accomodation for nursing students at a local hospital I was visiting when I was a kid.

I heard someone playing this beautiful song.

The student nurse and I became friends.
