Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I would really love someone to tell me where to pick up my protest paychecks!

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!

This is what needs to happen with our news. Do not take “reports” from this government as news. Look at additional reporting for context and additional information. There is, generally speaking, some truth in propaganda, but it is never the full story.

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

Based on a homeland security report? Did reporters do any actual reporting for this?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

This is becoming urgent.

Private equity is gutting hospitals for profit — when they collapse, communities lose care. That’s life and death.

PE has been taking over some of your favorite companies for years. They sell off assets, strip the business bare, and when there’s nothing left, it collapses.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Wait. Is this big, important meeting with all the military brass recorded? Like it’s not top secret and everyone gets to attend? I’m really flummoxed why all these important people have spent so much time, and $, away from important jobs when they just had to turn on CNN. 🤷‍♀️

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Meanwhile, in the United States of America, we are defunding train travel because we prefer to be alone, locked in our cars, in stand still traffic.
