I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.
Pay attention and act!

I recently watched the movie “All the Way” about Lyndon Johnson’s struggle to pass civil rights legislation when he was president. It took place in 1965 and starkly illustrated the extreme bigotry which existed in our country.

If your peace plan includes Vladimir Putin and excludes actual allies, it’s not peace. It’s submission.

Bro, ’course corps stay quiet.
It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.
Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Probably already too late! US automaker CEO's were too busy gaming the numbers by things like layoff experienced workers in order to boost their quarterly bonuses!
Should have been funneling their undeserved pay + bonus into EV research! BoD should fire and claw back comp of entire Exec suites!!

"How is it that in recent years Europeans have continued to 'grovel' before 🇺🇸, even as 🇺🇸hostility, ignorance, and contempt for Europe rises to new heights? The answer, Keating says, has to do very much with a lack of confidence, which can be explained by a decades-long American cultural domination."
